TIWICE’s Nayeon and BLACKPINK’s Jennie: A Case of Copying or Coincidence?

Recently, there has been a comparison of the fashion styles of two prominent K-pop idols, Jennie (BLACKPINK) and Nayeon (TWICE). However, instead of focusing on who looks better, the attention has shifted to Nayeon and her stylist, who have been under scrutiny for creating looks that closely resemble those of “IT Girl”Jennie.

The most recent occurrence took place when Nayeon shared a personal picture on Instagram, donning a hip-hop-inspired ensemble. Specifically, the white string tied around the pants and the hanging keyring resembled a style that Jennie had recently worn in the music video for “Spot!”

This isn’t the first or only time Nayeon’s stylist has been suspected of copying Jennie’s style.

Nayeon’s supporters swiftly came to her defense in light of these allegations. Several comments highlighted the fact that it is customary for Nayeon’s stylist to stay updated on the latest fashion trends. Moreover, as Jennie is known for setting trends, it is inevitable for there to be some similarities. However, some fans countered this by pointing out that it is not just their stage attire, but even their everyday outfits bear noticeable resemblances.

Nayeon has also adopted quite a few of Jennie’s signature makeup and hairstyle looks.

The following are comments from netizens regarding the situation:

  • Maybe Nayeon’s company hired an average stylist who tends to copy from everywhere
  • Not only brand clothes, but also numerous custom-made outfits are alike.
  • There are several outfits that are identical, while others are only slightly similar in style.
  • Some of these ‘accusations’ are going too far since it’s just a style…
