Actor Kim Kwang Kyu ( Office Dating ) and singer Shin Sung Woo recently appeared on the latest episode of the show Dad is a Flower Boy (Channel A) on the evening of July 19. In the show, the two artists went to a store to buy cosmetics. Shin Sung Woo went to the hair dye area represented by BLACKPINK and chose a product with Jennie’s image .
In front of the camera, both Shin Sung Woo and Kim Kwang Woo did not recognize Jennie, constantly turning to each other in a moment of confusion: “BLACKPINK. But who is this girl?”. After the crew answered his questions, Shin Sung Woo finally knew that Jennie was the character appearing on the product packaging. Taking this opportunity, Kim Kwang Kyu also teased his colleague Shin Sung Woo: “You are a singer but you don’t know that?”. The male singer Shin immediately replied: “I don’t know the young singers who are active today. Now I know Jennie”. The fact that seniors in the industry do not know Jennie has become a hot topic on Korean social networks recently. Sports Kyunghang even headlined “The shame of world star Jennie” right after the latest episode of the show Dad is a Flower Boy aired.
Based on the sharing of Kim Kwang Woo – Shin Sung Woo on the show Dad is a Flower Boy , many viewers believe that the 2 6X artists could not recognize the 3 remaining members of BLACKPINK. However, the crew and the 2 veteran artists only chose the hair dye box with Jennie’s picture, and it was right at the time of “boiling water and fire” when the 9X female singer was criticized for the noisy electronic cigarette smoking. From here, a part of netizens questioned that the Dad is a Flower Boy crew intentionally “relying on” Jennie to help the show increase discussion.
