Not only does the video clip portray a vivid contrast between the two scenes, but it also magnifies the distinct difference between Jennie and the other members of the group. From the power of every move to the effort put into each facial expression, Jennie lags behind the other members as she effortlessly lifts her arms and legs and half-heartedly puts on a face for her part.
