Netizens are loving the change, stating that part of Jennie’s endless charms is her ability to pull off any style or trend with ease.

- “Wow Jennie with blush ㅠ how long has it been since Jennie wore a lively makeup?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I miss idol Jennie”
- “The reason why women in their 20’s choose Jennie as their wannabe is because she looks hip no matter what she does”

“HATE TXT” Trends On Twitter, Why It Might Be A Genius Marketing Strategy
If you saw it trending, would you click?
What do the terms “END TXT” and “HATE TXT” have in common? They just might be a genius marketing strategy for the group’s highly anticipated comeback.
While Taehyun has been ready to spill all the details and Beomgyu has steadily been handing out hints, TXT is officially kicking off their comeback for their mini-album, minisode 2: Thursday’s Child with an entire “spoiler week.”

While all of this has been exciting for fans, a key detail is making the rounds. The mini-album will have three versions, all with interesting names: “HATE”, “END”, and “MESS.”
The unconventional names even trended on Twitter…

Generally, a trending term such as “hate” might lead people to believe it comes from a negative association.
Fans think, that’s exactly the point. In fact, it could be used in their favor as a type of “clickbait.”
can be a nice clickbait like we trend “TXT MESS” “TXT HATE” “TXT END” cause who wouldn’t click on those seeing it trending

Anti-fans might even use such terms and accidentally do something good for a group they claim to dislike through unintentional promotion. Regardless, the group would receive more attention due to these eye-catching terms.
antis see 'txt hate' 'txt mess' 'txt end' trending > thinking they are joining the hate train > accidentally help us in promoting txt

And, if someone does search “TXT MESS” or “TXT END,” the album versions will pop up.
