The Jennie nurse outfit (Lovesick Girls) controversy (1 Viewer)

[yeji]

I thought this would be a non issue, and then the nurses union joined in and YGE had to issue a statement and might edit it out



I'll volunteer to be her patient, best make the union complaints worth it

yeah it definitely shouldn’t be a big deal. it sucks it might be edited out.

This cannot be it. YG stepped on someone's toes and now issue needs to rise. I don't think there is anything sexual about her outfit, it's literally regular nurse outfit, with a cute heart instead of a plus sign. I guess they had to find something to bash her on. It's ridiculous, if the MV does get edited, it will be a huge loss.

Yeah what I hate most is YGE is likely about to bend over backwards and edit out this scene and it only gives more power to such people in the future who feel they can force a company to bow to their demands.
I was hoping YG and even Jennie take a stand and just stick to it.

What's next, cancel Ratched because it depicts nurses in a bad light? What happened to artistic freedom?

Always gets me when we're supposedly becoming more liberal and woke everyday but cancelling things on the daily due to feeling offended. The irony.

Hell, I'll dress up in the cheesy nurse outfit and shake my ass myself.

I think its just cos its easier 4 them 2 bash Jennie n BP n YG.

I dont disagree with the union on this, insofar as i believe there's a prevalent sexualisation of nurses in many media.

But i dont think this was an example.

But they bandwagonned in anyway.

Lets see if they chime in similarly next time a kdrama with a sexy actress weats a nurse uniform as unprovocatively or more sexily than Jennie did. (I know no examples of kdrama with sexy nurses from own experience, just glanced at tv when others watching medical kdrama.)

Then ill know if the union r hypocrites or not. Or just bandwagonning bcos it was without risk. It would be brave to criticise actual kdrama sexualisation of nurses if depicted on korean media. Examples welcomed if you know any exist.

(Edit to add b4 posting: i draft this b4 reading whole thread, pls excuse if rpting points made already or just take it as me seconding the same sentiment.)

Otherwise, ill stop here.

To the nurses union, pls complain abt nurse ratched series on netflix also. Thnk you.

You mean bcos its not acpopular mv that you can exploit 4 ur agenda n misinterpret for ur goals, u wont bother. I c, it was all abt publicity then-nvr abt BP Jennie or the MV specifically or those 5-10 seconds. It was just to reach millions ard the world. Next time pls use a right example n more ppl might listen but you cried wolf already. Imma doubt wat you say from now on. You shd hv spoke out on a real issue instead.(i hvnt watched this show tho, just going by ads n my impression.) Anyone watched it?
Am i wrong here?

(Edit: posted too soon, i see marko commented on ratched b4 i did. Lol.

 

[eclipsoul]

Yeah they're overreacting wtf? Watch the people that don't like jennie/bp run this "controversy" to the ground though despite how silly it is.

I think this is one of the first times I've seen people from other fandoms, even those who aren't Blackpink fans, speak about how ridiculous this is lol.

Why is this a bigger issue than the religious issue in HYLT

Yeah imagine the actual problematic stuff got handled pretty quick while a complete non issue turns into a circus
I guess it's coz Koreans aren't really aware of the HYLT issue, so it was mostly just i-fans. Here it's an entire Medical and Health workers union

 

[VillageIdiot]

Why is this a bigger issue than the religious issue in HYLT

And it's still not even bigger than their late controversy bc sports

What's so wrong in that dress? I don't see anything bad. Those who say things against a simple thing like this, they better check what's wrong in their eyes
