Jennie Had a Diamond Set in Her Teeth... Netizens “Thought It Was a Cavity,” Unexpected Debate

[Sports Chosun reporter Jo Min-jeong] BLACKPINK's Jennie has unveiled her new song for the first time on the stage of a major music festival in the United States, and the unusual tooth accessory 'Grillz' she wore on stage is drawing unexpected attention.

Jennie took the stage on the 7th (local time) as the final headliner of 'The Governors Ball Music Festival 2026' held in New York, USA. On this day, Jennie performed a total of 17 songs, including 'Filter', 'Damn Right', 'Mantra', 'Handlebars', and 'Like JENNIE', putting on a performance for about 60 minutes. In particular, she drew an enthusiastic response from local fans by being the first to present a new song that had not yet been released.

However, immediately after the performance, attention on social media and online communities focused on Jennie's tooth accessory as much as on the music.

Jennie appeared on stage wearing Grillz engraved with a blue rose pattern. The sparkling tooth accessory stood out with a strong presence as it blended with the lighting. The Grillz were reportedly made by private jeweler Mark Cruz, who works in LA, USA.

Mark Cruz introduced it on social media, saying, "I created a new piece with Jennie for the Governors Ball stage," and described it as a "fully custom 14K white gold piece set with blue rose enamel detailing and VVS1-grade diamonds." In particular, the blue rose is known as an iconic flower that Jennie has often expressed affection for, drawing fans' attention.

However, online reactions were mixed. Some fans praised it, saying, "If Jennie wears it, it'll trend again," "The blue rose details are so pretty," "The peak of hip styling," and "As expected, she's a fashion icon."

On the other hand, reactions such as "From afar, it looks like a cavity," "I thought her teeth were decayed," "It looks pretty up close, but 부담스러운 from a distance," and "I guess only Jennie can pull it off" were also seen.

Indeed, online communities were filled with debate, with comments like, "I thought it was a tooth gem, but I was surprised because it looked like a cavity," "It's hip, but people will probably be divided on it," and "The outfit is pretty, but I'm not sure about the Grillz."

Meanwhile, after 'The Governors Ball 2026,' Jennie is scheduled to appear in a series of global festival stages, including Denmark's Roskilde Festival, Poland's Open'er Festival, Spain's Mad Cool Festival, the U.S. Lollapalooza Chicago, and Japan's Summer Sonic 2026.
