Nah Kai and Jennie Height Difference
Following the release of the initial teasers and the final music video, fans quickly noticed the visible height difference between the two leads.
Jennie stands at approximately 163 cm (5 feet 4 inches), while Kai possesses the towering, slender frame typical of a professional runway model, standing at well over 180 cm (around 6 feet). Visuals of Jennie standing alongside her taller co-star created a distinct framing that resonated with viewers, adding to the relaxed aesthetic of the production.
