BLACKPINK’s Jennie is facing controversy over her latest airport look.
The K-pop star went viral after arriving at Incheon Airport for her trip to the U.S. Clad in a blue-and-white crocheted vest over a bright red bra and gray sweatpants, she turned heads with her bold fashion choice.
But it wasn’t her outfit that caused the stir. Instead, it was her unusual footwear.
At first glance, it appeared that Jennie wasn’t wearing shoes at all. Observant fans soon spotted that she was rocking the trending Vibram V-Soul toe shoes, retailing for around $110 USD. These unique shoes have already sold out online.
Netizens reacted swiftly, flooding social media with puzzled comments:
“I’m not usually someone who zooms in on other people’s feet, but Jennie-unnie, what on earth are those shoes? ㅜㅜ”
“It looked like she was only wearing socks…”
Responses keep pouring in. Many are questioning the practicality of her footwear.
“Won’t the soles of your feet get too hot? Won’t it hurt if you step on a rock?? I’m so curious about thisㅋㅋㅋㅋ”
Another user chimed in:
“Even if it becomes trendy, I don’t think I’ll ever spend money on something like this ㅋㅋ”
Critics are also trolling her pants, suggesting they might be "the soles of her shoes." The discussion around Jennie’s fashion statement has only just begun.
