Jennie’s move even reminded the viewers how Kwon Eunbi went viral for doing a similar gesture at her Waterbomb appearance in 2025. Many K-netizens commented on TheQoo (per Koreaboo), “Kwon Eunbi gets hate, but Jennie’s called cute lol.” Another one stated, “Neither Waterbomb nor this outfit is that revealing.”
“Since when did showing your underwear become considered ‘cute’?” One asked. Some defended Jennie and compared her with Eunbi’s sexy performance on Crazy In Love during 2025’s Waterbomb in Seoul, and wrote, “It’s way more wholesome than what Kwon Eunbi wore, so what’s the issue?”
