Article: What influence will Jennie's first public relationship have on Black Pink?
Source: Newsen via Nate
1. [+1,189, -20] YG staying quiet basically means they're confirming it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ petty
2. [+1,112, -102] Yes, I agree that there's nothing wrong with a man or woman in their twenties choosing to date, but she's the one who signed a contract agreeing to a clause that bans dating. They're the ones who take the allowance money and gifts of young kids, and they're the one in a relationship behind their backs this whole time??
3. [+771, -34] They'll be fine as long as the media doesn't go overboard. I can already predict her futue article titles:
'Kai♡' Jennie does well on Running Man
'Kai♡' Jennie, not a shining solo but a couple
'Kai♡' Jennie, Black Pink's group comeback
'Kai♡' Jennie, another shining luxury outfit
4. [+113, -11] People keep bringing up her age and saying it's okay fo rher to date but she has a job. She signed a contract. If she wanted to live freely like the rest of her peers, then she shouldn't have become an idol. There are things you have to give up to be able to make the kind of money that these idols are making. Nothing in the world is free. It's like arguing that priests and nuns should be able to get married too when there are reals to everything in life.
5. [+97, -0] Sure, it's easy for the public who doesn't affect their income at all to be like "what's so wrong with dating at their age?" but you have to consider that these idols are walking a very thin line where every CF contract and album sale is dependent on their image. There's a reason so many freshly debuted groups have dating bans in place. YG will obviously let her free once all the accounts are settled and she gains more experience in the industry but she couldn't even wait for that and had to go and cause a scandal.
6. [+79, -0] Isn't a dating ban understandable considering the money these kids are making at an age that others couldn't even dream of making? Why do you think it's even these contracts... You shouldn't be an idol if you don't like the conditions.
7. [+68, -5] Lisa, Rose, Jisoo: Sigh... goddammit
8. [+56, -3] Jennie seems foolish. This isn't the time for her to be dating... She needs to at least be GD's level to go around dating without it impacting her career. Kai has nothing to lose right now. He's at the perfect point in his career to be in a relationship. Jennie, however, is a female idol who will now become the subject of people's dirty imaginations. The impact on her image will be huge. Anyway, I didn't even know who Kai was until today.
9. [+55, -1] I don't think Jennie is scared of losing anything. It's not like she climbed to where she is out of desperation and hard work. Her family has always been wealthy. She can quit being a celebrity today if she wanted to and she'd be fine..
10. [+51, -5] YG's stocks are going to drop tomorrow
11. [+48, -3] If Rose's solo gets pushed back without further updates, it's all Jennie's fault
12. [+44, -0] If only her song title wasn't Solo... ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
13. [+42, -0] At this point, her problem isn't just the relationship but all the hints they dropped on SNS. Fans thought it was messages to them this whole time but it all ended up being lovestagrams. How do you think their fans will feel now? ㅋ
14. [+42, -8] The difference between YG and JYP is that JYP is open-minded whereas YG is deeply conservative.
15. [+40, -2] She's going to end up like Sulli and Hani~
16. [+37, -3] I'm pretty sure a dating ban clause is in her contract. She doesn't seem to realize how scary breaching a contract can be. YG could easily force her to pay a huge penalty fee.
