Previously, she was accused of copying her stage outfits…

…and casual outfits.

Most recently, the two have stepped out in a seemingly matching look yet again.

They wore the same brand of camoflage pants paired with a black tank top and slides to create a cool and casual outfit.

Netizens had mixed reactions: Though it has seemingly occurred many times, they may just have similar styles or even sponsorships. Regardless of the reason, neither of them deserve hate for such a small issue.

• “But honestly, it is kind of interesting. Are they getting sponsored by the same brands, or are they just close enough to borrow clothes from each other? How are there so many overlapping items?”
• “This isn’t coming from a Jennie fan. It’s someone who hates Jennie trying to make her look bad by constantly posting stuff like this. Stay strong, 3rd gen girl groups!”
• “To be honest, Nayeon has been referencing Jennie for a long time… Let’s not deny it and just acknowledge what’s true. But Jennie also takes a lot of inspiration from American celebs, and don’t we all sometimes want to copy the styling of famous people too? So I don’t think there’s any need to get upset over stuff like this.”
• “This one’s honestly way too similar;;”
• “Even their casual clothes are often sponsored, so it makes sense they might end up wearing stuff from similar brands. It’s really not that deep.”
