[@justlikesK-popKM]

Fun Fact: Jennie actually has 9 ankle injuries, doctors have mentioned that people with this type of injury cant even jump properly, besides we all saw Jennie walk on walking sticks several times. Oh! if u didn't know Jennie also has breathing problems as well as more mental and physical health issues, she and the members have talked about how she has a weak body. The hate started when Jennie out danced Lisa ( the main dancer) in ONE performance so she started getting hate and was called an attention seeker, so she stopped putting to much effort in the 0t4 dances cause she doesn't want to outshine anyone in 2018 but she danced amazingly in her solo so she was called lazy and a pick me. but people believed that she is lazy cause of one rehearsal when she wasn't dancing energetically EVEN THO IT WAS LITERALY A REHEARSAL AND ALL MEMBERS DIDN'T PUT ENERGY she was the one hated. The thing is when u realize it was never Jennie's fault

[@whk3120]

What I did notice in this video, is that Jennie is naturally a graceful dancer, that’s where she shines, so it makes since that she instinctively is trying join the movements together with more fluidity rather than with impact, strength, speed and tension.

[@ositaiza888]

yea it seems that strong hits can sometimes be hard for her, which makes sense bc of her injury. i rlly wanna see her do more smooth and chill dances tbh cuz my favorite of her dancing was wasted

@@Hyunjinswife11 then you’re one of the lucky ones. Many dancers have permanent injuries which will always affect their dancing skills and it seems that the same thing goes to Jennie. Some days it’s better, some days it’s worse. Nayeon for example also has problems with her left leg after a car accident in which she was involved when she was young and has similar problems like Jennie: on some days she dances better than on other days. Onces and the general public aren’t as harsh to her compared to blinks, solo stans and antis.

[@Farah-bt2rg]

Just wanted to point a few things out as a long time k-pop fan. Jennie's dance style since debut till now, removing her ankle injury performances, has always been the typical YG dance style. You can see this in Big Bang and 2NE1, even Winner and iKon performances where they don't do the dance 100% or at all. More focused on performance, vocal/rap delivery, hyping up the crowd etc. YG has never been a dance company, that is SM. You can even see this in Jennie's Coachella performance and even recent Pink Venom or Shut Down performance where is she more focused on the rap than doing the dance exactly as seen in practice videos. The funny thing is that this also occurs with other big artists like BTS, EXO, Red Velvet etc especially during concerts. Another thing is, it is so easy to go on youtube and search "so so k-pop group" mistakes on stage and can also see other artists "marking" the dance, forgetting dance moves, etc on music shows to concerts. This also applies to western artists. IDK the hate train this girl gets makes no sense to me

You have no idea how happy I am that someone decided to take the "lazy jennie" scandal from a professional point of view with actual facts and not just useless hate. Jennie has always been an inspiration and her dancing always had such depth into it it felt like it was speaking to me. So what if in some performances she didn’t “perfectly” dance? She’s human and each one of us have a unique amount of energy, stamina, yes even K-Pop idols get tired welcome to reality. You guys absolutely nailed this analysis, after seeing so much hate dragging her down for years on end, it’s so refreshing to appreciate her improvement, truly thank you from the bottom of my heart💛 Also gotta love those memes, had me burst of laughter multiple times😂

That was years ago though, and many of their performances don't require much strenth in the ankles. I don't think they addressed the right points of this video, in some performances, Jennie gives us nothing, but in others, she gives us everything. Jennie gives her all, sometimes, I wouldn't say she'll need to be the best on stage at all times, but she could at least try to complete the choreography.

[@fymblebymble]

I definitely love the Jennie appreciation, cos she is a talented performer and her charisma is unbounding, so it's really great to see you guys reacting to her dance and bigging her up - as she deserves. People are so quick to criticise idol performers and whilst yes, it is their job and they should do it well, they aren't robots and they aren't always gonna be perfect, and that's not a bad thing at all. It's a human thing. It feels a little weird, though, that you bring up the "lazy" thing and then basically don't address it? A lot of that controversy was around stage performances that she did where she wasn't giving as much effort at times, for whatever reason, however valid. I would have really enjoyed seeing you talk about the strain of performing (singing and dancing and acting on stage is a professional sport), why she might have "dropped the ball" sometimes and why that's okay because she's human - or something like that. The fact that we didn't see any direct mention of it feels counterintuitive to how the video was set up? Even if it was just one clip amongst her other very impressive works off stage and in dance practices. But I would also understand if that didn't happen because Steezy peeps want to focus on the dance itself and not on the overall idol aspect, cos that's what you guys do! Nonetheless, really really enjoyed this video - loved seeing Isabel's perspective and personality here, love her to bits, and Clay is a delight as always. Much love!

[@saltedfish2192]

Feels the same. Wanted to see at least one performance stage from the controversy and see some comments on it. Like if it was just lack of energy, or her ankle was hurting, so she can't do the dance well couldn't find a way to over compensate, etc. bc all the clips were basically the ones carefully prepared and edited by yg so we would only see jennie's dancing at her peak energy

i dont think they did enough research on the controversy and heard "lazy" and thought "oh like she's a bad dancer or smth" because if we talk abt her dance in gen, she's obviously rlly good. but in the context of the controversy, it's just diff. they probably just used the term for clickbait or just didn't want the hate train if they do address the actual controversy. just my opinion 🤷‍♀️

As a K-pop stan and one of them including blackpink ( biases are Jennie and Rosé) the main point behind of the lazy dancer accusations was around d-4 and solo era because on one of the tour dates as she was walking down stairs her footing was off and sprained her left ankle and in the hylt dance performance if you pay close enough attention she does have a wrap on that ankle so with that mentioned she probably went through a lot of rehabilitation for her ankle as she’s hurt it a lot so she wasn’t performing as she usually does which is where it started from

Jennie's ankle injury goes back to when she was a kid.

For how you like that, she was once again injured. If you pay attention u can see she has a compression thingy on her ankle. In all thar time, they did not give her ankle time to heal properly and thus it's injury is a recurring problem.

Fun fact about last dance video is she make that song famous and people started to cover that

[@ohhimarklee]

I feel like 1-2 live performances from the era were she was criticized the most would've been nice. She's a talented dancer and dance practices will always be of idols performing at their best. I thought the amount of criticism she got was unwarranted, idols are often performing while overly fatigued and dealing with injuries, and who knows what other stress they're under behind the scenes. But it still would've been nice to hear some thoughts from professional dancers on a worse performance, ofc with the understanding that idols are allowed to not always perform at 100%. At the same time, I understand maybe wanting to avoid fans reacting defensively to criticism given the hate their idols already receive. maybe there will be a part 2? or you could do a video about idols performing in substandard conditions (weather, injury, fatigue) generally so its not targeted towards jennie. Having professional reaction to those issues not within a dancer's control would be interesting as well.

[@pretendtheresaname9213]

Jennie reminds me of Jessica. Both had strong starts in their career dance wise and were cited for it but, as their groups gained popularity, both gained a more laid back, cool diva image (deserved or not) which, coupled with their poor stamina, led to them chosing this very smooth way to dance. They still have the skill of course but for stamina management purposes they probably realized it was more fruitful not to go full out as, when they do, they run out of energy terribly by the 2nd/3rd third of the song.

[@jen5138]

Only thing is that Jennie is a much better dancer than Jessica n has so much more potential. That is if u were referring to Jessica from SNSD.

[@powerpuff4ever]

So even though we didn’t watch any of the controversial stage performances, I’m happy that you noticed the overcompensation in her shoulder and opened the conversation about the ramifications of ankle injuries at least a little because it addresses pretty much all that needs to be said about that portion of the argument. People bring up the injuries so they can say “that was her excuse then but what’s her excuse now” but the fact is there are lasting physical repercussions to injuries - _especially_ by time you hit your mid-20s. She was fully braced, using crutches at the time of both sprains. She still bandages up and often goes from the heels she’ll wear in a pre-recorded intro to sneakers so I imagine she still gets flair ups. She’s already attempting to compensate how she moves her body with it’s current mobility and except for viewing the performances close to the injuries themselves, very few people notice. I got an ankle sprain on a hike 2 years ago when I stepped between some grown cover that wasn’t as shallow as I assumed. I made it down the hill fine without assistance and I only had to wear a small stability brace for about 2 weeks before I could put full pressure on the foot without it. All in all, it could have been a far worse injury (and it would have been if I wasn’t wearing supportive boots) but it was still an injury and that ankle _still_ isn’t the same. I don’t have the same level of flexibility or mobility in my ankle, I can’t squat as heavy at the gym, I can’t squat as _deep_ anymore, I can’t hold certain positions in yoga anymore, and I have to move through hikes so much slower because even with hiking boots with great ankle support, the uneven ground and the reduced mobility really don’t mix and can make treks unnecessarily painful if I push it too much.

The most recent performance that’s dragged this topic out of the woodwork again has less to do with her being lazy and more to do with her legitimately not having the energy. During the early career performances that made people start accusing her, she would pointedly push as much energy as she could into her center parts and then reserve energy when she was positioned at the back. During the recent performance people are talking about, she had a few steps that she seemed to visibly struggling with but was pushing through and her “lazy” moment was actually during her center rap verse where she diverged from the choreography (which she does often just to spice things up) but more than that delivered her verse with noticeably lower energy than she’s _ever_ done on stage. With such a wealth of context from her previous “lazy” performances and her disclosure of severe injuries, it’s so unfair to dunk on that performance as another lazy-Jennie thing when it’s doesn’t even fit the pattern. I don’t know how people that seem to be watching her every move so closely would come to any conclusion other than “something was going on with her”. Could be her generally low stamina and poor health rearing it’s head, could have been true exhaustion, could be general overwhelm from the intense amount of hate she’d been getting since the dating scandal revved up to a 10 right after Shut Down dropped. It’s like, Jennie is a good dancers and she loves performing. She doesn’t choose to do nothing when she’s capable of doing _something_ even if that something isn’t the best we’ve seen from her ( which is kind of what got her in trouble in the first place since she chose to perform and camouflage when she probably should have opted to sit). I don’t know why I still after like 12 years of stanning feel the need to come to the defense of idols this strongly but I just hate the tendency so many people have to not grant any leniency or allow perspective to inform them before sending some of the most vile things they can think of to someone

[@Khanquirat]

I'm not a blink anymore. But Jennie is the member I still look the group for and I feel sad when she gets so much hate for seriously breathing at thus point. She isn't perfect but she is way better then all those people who don't know shit and judge her as if they are perfect dancers.

So happy to see Isabel! She was a show stealer in SoNE1. I didn't know she was on Lizzo's show, but I'll be sure to watch it now!

[@sitisyahida3393]

Calling her underperforming is really ridiculous. Just because she has different style of performing than others. She tends to focus more on raps and vocal during her parts. That's why she did more free style during her part. That is plausible. She is famous for slaying vocal, rap and facial expression. That didn't mean she's a lazy dancer. I really do appreciate this kind of videos.

[@larissafonseca4007]

I feel like people really need to give Kpop idols more grace. We never know what they’re really going through, how much they have to do, their bodies’ conditions etc. We just see a little bit of their life. I really wish people would make generous assumptions instead of thinking the worst every time.

[@ryan3371]

Ppl complaining about her dancing are obviously very ignorant of dancing. The "lazy" dancing is actually a huge style amongst hip hop dancers, where u look like ur putting no effort yet still being very clean and hitting the beats very strongly.

[@snidhireddy5896]

She knows when to blend in and stand out the best in group

[@cinnarenaroll1292]

It makes me so sad to see her get hate for being a "lazy dancer" when she used to get hate for being an "overachieving dancer" in the earlier days. Like what do people want from her?? And she DID have an ankle injury which can totally affect your performance sometimes. People don't understand that those kinds of injuries never fully go away, I sprained my ankle doing taekwondo when I was 13 and I'm 25 now and that ankle is still much weaker than my other one.. It's frustrating how people still bring up that controversy to drag her when it happened in like 2018??

[@beatrizsilveira4808]

when you said that she can blend to give others the focus in their parts, i remembered that in the rookie days, she would get hate for "outshine" the others members

[@somi4755]

thanks for praising jennie and reacting to her❤ facts you might have missed:- she did have an ankle injury at the start of their debut but it was just a minor injury until in their concert in japan she fell off the stairs in front of the whole audience of fans and since then she couldn’t walk or even dance. while people were forcing her and bringing scandals out calling her “lazy” jennie did her best to maintain the pain and instead of resting to not make it worse she did actually dance to every song until the end of their tour (let’s not forget she released her SOLO song during this tour and had to promote it so she must have gave her all to perform it). this scandal followed her until later after their tour yg stated that jennie in fact was suffering from ankle injury and went through several surgeries to get it fixed. she started to use crutches for months, and now she can walk again without it. but that ‘lazy’ term still follows her to this day as anti-fans and haters of her use it to describe her performance without understanding her style in dancing is different than the rest. you did point it out she mostly has a resting face until she is in center/focus to let the other members have their shining moments. she has a great stage presence and her facial expressions are always on point. but she did improve a lot since debut, and in their recent interview Lisa (who is main dancer and known to be one of the best dancers in kpop) said that jennie learns new dance steps pretty fast and she is catching up with her quickly which is very fascinating.

[@HaveYourWay]

Stop calling Jennie a lazy dancer for clout she broke the same ankle 9 times and it’s her own fandom who made that so called lazy video against her out of jealousy in 2018 but people are still obsessed and can’t let go Also Jennie is not in the dance line and doesn’t need to dance perfect to satisfy anyone no wonder blackpink is disbanding next year. She will be free from obsessed freaks and batshittt crazy fandom and shittty company

[@blossombaginski6066]

I actually didn't think Jennie was a lazy dancer. I think people confuse (for lack of a better word) swaggy with laziness. It's just a style of dancing that I'm pretty sure people who aren't familiar with dance don't know of. That swag is what YG is all about. YG is known to be the "hip hop" company so bashing the choreography is really uncalled for. The fans should already know or realize that YG isn't the company to make the typical, cute-looking girl group (however that looks like). I appreciate how she has that on and off switch to give the rest of her members that spotlight/focus. I didn't know about the ankle injury but it makes sense that she has been overcompensating that side for a few years. I love to see she has been improving her dancing because I've noticed that loose arm and it always bothered me lol

[@mochiyeosang1908]

Thats not what the lazy was referring to. She was filmed at soundchecks not doing choreo full out. 1, its a soundcheck, literally just practice for the concert to conserve energy. 2, she had broken ankle.

@@mochiyeosang1908 it was not about that either... Maybe a little bit, but the real deal was how she was literally just standing at times, not doing the choreo, and other times she moved only a bit (it was boombayah I think?). It was during a concert, not a soundcheck. And there was another video, also during a performance (as if it's your last), but it was not a concert, where she didn't move. I don't have links, but you can probably easily find them.

Jennie has been said to be a lazy dancer before, it was before we knew that she had very fragile ankles (don't have the real name of the "condition"). I didn't see anything talking about it ever since.

[@ianm271]

Jennie is a powerhouse. She has an ankle injury. Haters are stupid.

[@cheekblush]

jennie is indeed an underrated performer which especially shows in those solo dance videos of hers. but nonetheless there really was a time where she underperformed/didn't dance the choreography properly and i personally don't know if it was only bc of her ankle injury bc she would leave out hand and head movements frequently. i think we'll never really know what was going on with her during that time i just hope she's happier and healthier now and can enjoy performing again ❣

[@liubooov]

I think Jennie is a great dancer. She is naturally very graceful and her stage presence is unmatched. What I want to add is when you’re doing a cover of BLACKPINK, she can sometimes underdance (not all the time, but sometimes), but it never affects the dance overall, because she is naturally good and also extremely charismatic. Her dance style is very YG. YG artists tend to underdance and just enjoy the music and performance and Jennie is exactly this. The lazy controversy wasn’t about her dancing overall (she is overall not a lazy dancer), it was about particular performances. I have no idea what happened there, but taking into consideration that this girl got hate from even pre-debut and still is getting hate to this day, it may have been connected to her mental health. It may also be the effect of a damaged ankle. To sum up, Jennie is a great dancer and even greater (and it’s more important imo) performer. The girl knows how to put a show.
