BLACKPINK‘s Jennie has found herself at the center of a swirling controversy, with major plagiarism accusations from netizens erupting since the release of her new album teaser. The K-Pop superstar’s latest solo venture is already making headlines, but perhaps not in the way fans initially expected.
Jennie recently announced the release of FALLEN ANGEL, her highly anticipated new solo project. The news itself sent waves of excitement through the fandom, eager for new music from the BLACKPINK member.
However, the initial announcement sparked backlash almost immediately from some corners of the internet, setting a tense prelude for what was to come.
The latest development arrived on August 26, when Jennie officially shared a captivating teaser poster along with crucial information for the pre-orders of the upcoming album. Fans eagerly awaited a glimpse into the concept, ready to dive into Jennie’s artistic vision.
Yet, when the poster was shared, it was hit with major plagiarism accusations almost instantly. Netizens with sharp eyes began pointing out striking similarities, claiming the composition and color schemes bore uncanny resemblances. The most prominent comparisons drawn were to Ariana Grande‘s iconic “Supernatural” visuals and the cover art for “Spiritual Ascension” by the band Cherie Amour. This has ignited a fierce debate online, with many discussing the fine line between inspiration and appropriation in the visual arts.

Jenma is copying Ariana Grande this time just to avoid flopping 😭 Yet her dogs were claiming the color red just two days ago and saying no other artist had the right to use it. Now she’s literally plagiarizing Ariana Grande. https://t.co/bCBVsQEjfM pic.twitter.com/CJonhvMAEF
