Is the merchandise for Jennie's new song disappointingly lackluster?
2023-10-19
After completing a world tour for a year, the popular girl group BLACKPINK's member Jennie returned to the music scene as a solo artist, releasing her new single "You & Me". Recently, her management company YG has been criticized for releasing Jennie's merchandise without sincerity.
After a gap of 5 years, Jennie has released her solo single "You & Me" again. In pursuit of perfection, she even invited Naoko Takeuchi, the author of "Sailor Moon", to design the single cover, making fans very excited about the merchandise.
Surprisingly, on the 17th, YG released Jennie's latest merchandise which includes clear or black-based phone cases, black/white short sleeve T-shirts, and black/white long sleeve university Ts. However, the design was quite disappointing.
All products are exactly reproducing the cover design of Naoko Takeuchi's new song for Jennie, "You & Me." But the price is as high as 110,000 Korean won, which is indeed valuable.
Upon reviewing it, netizens voiced significant dissatisfaction, with the belief that YG Entertainment lacked a sincere commitment to retaining Jennie and was merely going through the motions. Comments ranged from, "Isn't this merchandise just too hasty?" to "Extremely disappointing, extremely unattractive," and even "Can this even be considered merchandise? I could create this myself."
"YG's sincerity is seriously lacking; no wonder BLACKPINK members are considering leaving." "YG is overly calculating, sticking to the same formula to save money." "Wouldn't it be more cost-effective to design your own merchandise?" "Fan-made items often surpass YG's painstakingly created products.""Super dumbfounded... It's my fault for having expectations for YG," "YG is really audacious, they dare to sell such a design at this high price," "Who would buy this kind of design at this kind of price?" "It's so ugly it's laughable," and other criticisms.
