Following the release of BLACKPINK member Jennie's campaign teaser for perfume brand 'TAMBURINS', some netizens expressed discomfort at the braided hairstyle donned by Jennie.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with her hairstyle.

This is a netizen problem, not a Jennie problem.

The article comments look like some Lisa stans arguing with Jennie stans, you guys are in the same fandom - stop arguing with each other already!

As for the netizens complaining about Jennie's braids - get over yourself. No culture has a trademark on braids.

Netizens are so braindead lmaoo ... do they really believe that no other cultures have had braids in their history?? Also, this argument of "appropriation" isn't even valid because it's literally just braids, god I hate this fake woke stuff
