Jennie faces rumors of breast augmentation, while her juniors surpass her on popularity rankings.

Jennie (BLACKPINK) recently celebrated her 30th birthday with a series of grand events. Among them was a solo photo exhibition and the release of a photobook revealing previously unreleased moments.

Jennie's new photoshoot has taken social media by storm with its bold and breathtakingly seductive concepts. The photos, featuring daringly cut outfits, perfectly showcase the mature and confident beauty of a woman entering the prime of her career. This is seen as a powerful statement about freedom and self-mastery from the BLACKPINK member.

However, on social media, many fans have noticed something unusual about Jennie. In some photos from the photobook, the idol's breasts appear unusually full. This is completely different from Jennie's past images. Although she has a beautiful body proportion, her breasts have never been her strong point. This has raised suspicions that Jennie has undergone cosmetic surgery to enhance her breasts for a more attractive and seductive look.

A wave of netizens have been endlessly debating this topic. Many believe Jennie's fuller bust is the result of padded bras. These people point out that Jennie's bust has been normal in recent events, so there's absolutely no truth to the rumors of plastic surgery. Others have called on overly critical netizens to stop scrutinizing Jennie's body and making baseless accusations.

Following rumors of breast augmentation, Jennie's career unexpectedly showed signs of stagnation, being surpassed by a younger artist.

Accordingly, this time, BLACKPINK's Jang Wonyoung (IVE) surpassed the BLACKPINK member to take the top spot. This result quickly became a hot topic of discussion on Kpop forums, reflecting the increasingly clear competition between generations of female idols.

In the list of Top 30 female idol personal brand values for January 2026, Jang Wonyoung rose to the top, followed by Jennie (BLACKPINK).

Specifically, Jang Wonyoung achieved a total brand value index of 8,052,947 points, a 6.86% increase compared to the previous month. All of the IVE idol's component indices were high, especially the interaction and community index, reflecting her strong presence on social media and in the media. This achievement officially allowed Jang Wonyoung to surpass Jennie and secure the number one position in the first month of 2026.

Meanwhile, Jennie ranked second with a total brand value index of 7,395,996 points, a 2.56% increase compared to December 2025. Although she no longer holds the top spot, Jennie's continued high ranking demonstrates the stable influence of the BLACKPINK idol after many years of activity. Jennie's media and community metrics continue to stand out, reflecting her large fanbase and significant public interest.

According to the Korea Business Reputation Research Institute, the ranking of female idol personal brand value for January 2026 is based on a big data analysis collected between December 18, 2025, and January 18, 2026. A total of over 124.7 million data points related to the personal brands of 730 female idols were extracted and evaluated through indicators including participation, media coverage, interaction, and community engagement. This is considered a familiar measure reflecting the level of public interest and influence of female idols.

Jennie being surpassed by Jang Wonyoung this month surprised many viewers, but it's also considered an understandable development given the rapid rise of the younger generation of idols. Jang Wonyoung is currently the face of many brands, constantly appearing in the media and maintaining a high level of activity. Meanwhile, Jennie, although not as active as before, still maintains her position thanks to her fashion image, global influence, and rare personal brand recognition.
