    this + i think a lot of english speaking fans feel some weird personal connection to idols from western countries so they always play that up to the nth degree even if these idols only lived there a few years like jennie or jaehyun. it's like a way of projecting onto them.

    it's no coincidence that western fans find jisoo boring and uninteresting. if some of these people knew jennie is also a korean girl born and raised in korea who just so happened to spend a few years abroad, they'd probably find her less interesting too.

    For sure! It seems pretty much all ethnicities and nationalities do this for even less substantial things, like people will go "[insert idol here] Latina queen!" because of a certain outfit.. In isolation it's not a big deal, but Jisoo is a great example of how the underlying hope for validation or representation or something affects I-fans' relationships with idols who are "just" Korean.
