BLACKPINK’s Jennie sparks debate with her flashing moment on stage; netizens draws comparisons to Kwon Eunbi’s Waterbomb 2025 look

BLACKPINK’s Jennie is no stranger to headlines, but her recent stage moment has ignited a heated debate online, especially as it draws direct comparisons to Kwon Eunbi’s now-iconic Waterbomb 2025 performance.

During a recent live concert, Jennie briefly flashed what appeared to be a custom bikini-style top under her outfit. Though the moment was fleeting, it was enough to send social media into overdrive. Fans and critics quickly weighed in, some calling the move bold and playful, while others questioned whether it was appropriate. The comparisons to Kwon Eunbi were inevitable. Just weeks earlier, Eunbi’s performance at Waterbomb 2025 had gone viral for its sultry energy and revealing outfit — a cover of Beyoncé’s Crazy In Love that drew both praise and criticism. Netizens are now dissecting how both idols are being perceived differently for similar on-stage expressions.

Among the comments on Jennie’s performance were mixed reactions. “If someone with a really curvy body wore that, people would’ve gone nuts and they would’ve been dragged for days,” wrote a social media user. “Kwon Eunbi gets hate, but Jennie’s called cute lol,” remarked another.

“Jennie’s done way bolder performances than this, so this feels pretty tame,” noted a fan. Another one wrote, “I don’t get why people are hating on Waterbomb or Jennie. Are we trying to oppress women again?”
