BLACKPINK’s JENNIE KIM has turned thirty, and INSTEAD of honoring her talent, the media has delivered a VIRAL GALLERY of ‘hot shots’ — reducing a global icon to a SEXY MEME for your scrolling pleasure. This is the CELEBRITY INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX at its most brazen.
Dubbed a “style menace,” Jennie’s humanity is ERASED in favor of a narrative that is PURE, UNADULTERATED COMMODIFICATION. They laud her for how she can “crank up the sexy,” framing her worth solely through the male gaze. WHAT MESSAGE does this send to millions of young fans?
And in a move of SHOCKING absurdity, they’ve included a MEMOJI MATCHING GAME — turning her likeness into a cheap carnival sideshow. This is not birthday tribute; it is DIGITAL PARASITISM.
The gallery promises “more fierce, fun, and fabulous Jennie,” but it’s a LIE. This is a calculated DISTILLATION of a woman into clickable content.
The hollow “Happy Birthday” rings false — because in the age of virality, a woman’s milestone is just another excuse for EXPLOITATION, and we are ALL complicit for clicking.
