Netizens reacted to BLACKPINK's Jennie sporting braids in a new campaign teaser for the perfume brand 'TAMBURINS'.
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. In the campaign teaser video clip, Jennie is seen wearing a bright blue dress with unique details while elegantly dancing in a dark room. In particular, Jennie has her hair tied up in a high ponytail, which is then braided. Many netizens found Jennie's braided hair to be a form of cultural appropriation, taking to Twitter to express their discomfort.
Netizens' reactions included:

to see the jennie is wearing cornrows/ box braids after what has happen to lisa (and she also apologize)…. and not only once but twice is overall shocking and just sad. I love these girls but stop making the same mistakes.

They’re all about black culture when it comes to sampling their songs, even just taking a section along with the lyrics (no change) and using it in their own song (Rihanna) but when it’s about respecting the culture, they’re suddenly oblivious?

blinks better confront jennie about her wearing braids also at the upcoming fansigning event. you guys were dragging lisa through the mud just for jennie to do it twice this year alone. its the double standard for me.

It’s all “teach your idol to be accountable” until it’s their fave. Some of you really need to grow up. At least Lilies did acknowledge the wrong last time. This is not an attack to Jennie. But if she really did CA, isn’t it better to let her know and learn from it like Lisa?
