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:

There's absolutely nothing wrong with her hairstyle.

This is a netizen problem, not a Jennie problem.

The article comments look like some Lisa stans arguing with Jennie stans, you guys are in the same fandom - stop arguing with each other already!

As for the netizens complaining about Jennie's braids - get over yourself. No culture has a trademark on braids.

Netizens are so braindead lmaoo ... do they really believe that no other cultures have had braids in their history?? Also, this argument of "appropriation" isn't even valid because it's literally just braids, god I hate this fake woke stuff
