Hear me out first. First of all, I'm not a Jennie anti. I just want to express the fact that Jennie is trying to sound "Kiwi" or the English accent people have in New Zealand. Sometimes it doesn't even sound like Kiwi, but rather a mix of British, Australian, and Kiwi.
In Interviews, Jennie tends to speak American English which is the common English accent that is learned in Korea and parts of her communication have tidbits of the Kiwi accent. I know Jennie lived and studied abroad for 5 years but speaking Kiwi and trying to sound like you speak Kiwi is not really the same thing and I understand how she may have fragments of that experience still in her communication style, but it's like she is trying to sound foreign.
For example in one of their earliest videos, you can tell that it doesn't sound natural and it seems like she's trying hard to sound that way. This Paris Fashion Week Interview of Jennie where she sounds more natural shows the difference compared to the first video. This another BLACKPINK Takeover Interview shows how Jennie doesn't really have much of a Kiwi accent and shows the difference in how Rosé and Jennie say "water" (Timestamp 0:47). In Jennie's new youtube video, Hello World (Timestamp 4:13), she sounds more natural and comfortable which is something that I wanna hear more from her because it's like she doesn't really care if she sounds like this or that.
I think this is an unpopular opinion because I don't really know or heard about any thread that discusses Jennie's English other than this one video I found online that reacted to Jennie's English accent and I think that was interesting.
TLDR: This opinion is not here to bash or criticize Jennie's English accent but to only point out how Jennie's Kiwi accent doesn't sound natural. This video even explains Jennie's English better than what I just explained.
She's calculated and manipulative, she knows how to control the narrative. In 2012 a girl from her school posted that Jennie once bullied her in the bathroom. But when Jennie's friends walked in, Jennie started crying and acting like she was the one being bullied. Her friends then started yelling at the girl for making Jennie cry.
A couple of quotes from her classmates from 2012:
"She bullied kids back then and was known to drink and smoke as a delinquent."
"I heard that she was possessive and frequently changed boyfriends, and that seemed true."
"Korean students were quite fierce and competitive, so Jennie might have developed such a side too."
"A girl known to be pretty, aware of her looks, acting superior to other Koreans, and hanging out with white students.
Sounds familiar? Looks like little Jennie hasn't changed a bit, she just got better at masking it.
