BLACKPINK’s Jisoo has sparked a wave of online speculation after a brief interaction with actor Jung Hae In at New York Fashion Week appeared to some viewers to be noticeably awkward.
The moment drew attention amid the recent controversy surrounding Jung Hae In, who has faced criticism after publicly expressing support for actor Kim Soo Hyun.
On September 10, Jisoo attended Tommy Hilfiger’s New York Fashion Week event, where she crossed paths with numerous celebrities and industry figures.
Fans were particularly excited to see her reunite with Jung Hae In, with photos of the two posing together quickly circulating online. The pair previously worked together on the drama Snowdrop, making their unexpected meeting a notable moment for fans.
However, a video from the event soon became a topic of discussion. In the clip, Jisoo appears to walk away shortly after taking a photo with Jung Hae In rather than staying to chat with him, prompting some viewers to speculate about her reaction.
Not everyone interpreted the moment negatively. Some fans jokingly suggested that Jisoo was simply eager to meet other celebrities at the event, including members of Girls’ Generation who were also present.
Others, however, claimed that Jisoo appeared uncomfortable during the brief interaction and connected her body language to the controversy surrounding Jung Hae In. Some even went as far as saying that she looked “disgusted,” although there is no confirmation that Jisoo was reacting to the actor or to the controversy.
As the clip continues to circulate online, fans have been debating whether the moment was simply a brief and natural interaction at a busy fashion event or whether there was any deeper meaning behind Jisoo’s reaction.
