the real reason why millions of kpop fans are hating on blackpink's jisoo

Overview

A presenter (Dayeon G) reacts to a wave of online backlash targeting BLACKPINK’s Jisoo after her appearance at a Dior event. The presenter argues the incident reflects broader sexism and ageism aimed at women—especially within K-pop and online culture.

What happened (as framed by the video)

• Jisoo attended a Dior event, presented as part of a long-term partnership/ambassadorship.
• Even though there’s no clear wrongdoing, social media quickly erupted as short clips/photos spread.
• Early criticism focused largely on her appearance, including how she looked in certain photos/videos (e.g., her expression while laughing).

How criticism escalated

The presenter claims the hate moved beyond appearance into:

• Attacks on her abilities, with people saying she “can’t sing/dance/act.”
• Mockery through reposted older clips, reframing past moments as proof of “inadequacy.”
• Judging her behavior after a brief interaction with IVE’s Wonyoung—described as essentially a greeting followed by moving away.

Key controversy: Jisoo vs. Wonyoung comparisons

• Viral clips led to people comparing how each idol interacted with a Dior director.
• The presenter mentions a name like “Jonathan,” but is unsure.
• Some commenters argued Wonyoung seemed more “professional” because she spoke English, using this to claim Jisoo acted immaturely or unprofessionally.
• The backlash went further, with some suggesting Dior could terminate Jisoo’s contract based solely on the viral clip.

Social media as the accelerant

The presenter emphasizes how platforms like Twitter/X amplified the situation through features such as:

• Quote posts
• Viral reposting, which turned minor moments into widespread harassment

She highlights mockery themes including:

• Her “elegance”
• Her “childishness”
• Her “age” (including claims she acted “like a child” despite being in her 30s)

The presenter also points to the cruelty of:

• Extracting a whole narrative from one moment
• Using unrelated past content to justify criticism

Sexism and ageism argument

The central thesis is that the reaction is rooted in:

• Misogyny and double standards
• Women being judged far more harshly for small mistakes or imperfect behavior
• Similar male behavior being framed as “cute” rather than criticized

The presenter argues there’s no logical basis for claiming a woman in her 30s can’t enjoy moments, express awkwardness, or behave naturally—especially when age is being used as a weapon to demean her.

Brand/identity point

The presenter argues Dior and the company choose ambassadors not just for their image, but also for:

• Their personality
• Their “self-presentation”

Therefore, criticizing Jisoo’s behavior based on a short interaction is portrayed as irrational and harmful.

Platform metrics as evidence of harassment

To illustrate the impact, the presenter mentions:

• Dior continued posting Jisoo content despite the backlash
• Jisoo allegedly lost a large number of Instagram followers during/after the controversy (citing a drop from ~80.1M to ~80M)

Conclusion and message

The presenter concludes that the Jisoo–Dior–Wonyoung incident is a “textbook” example of what women face daily online:

• Being policed for appearance, conduct, and age
• Harassment amplified by viral trends

She warns that even small moments can lead to lasting harm to mental health when they go viral.
