"She has big cat eyes," commented one user; another wrote, "She shouts 'I'm an idol' even in the teaser poster. [Laughing out loud]. I'm so excited."
"Look at her face, she's so lovable," wrote someone else, while a fourth user said, "Jennie really has a variety of facial expressions. Haha. It's a different charm from her pictorials."
Several netizens also expressed excitement about the BLACKPINK member joining the variety show as a fixed member.
"I love the member combination. There are so many funny people, and I love that Jennie and Lee Jung-ha are part of the cast, too," commented one user.
Another netizen wrote, "Jennie is good at variety shows so everything she's done so far has been a hit and cute. I'm looking forward to this one, too."
"I believe in Jennie, who has good material and has never failed when appearing on variety shows," stated a different netizen.
"I am looking forward to seeing Jennie because she has a good sense of entertainment and a quick sense of humor. She is good at throwing comments with appropriate timing. Plus, she's cute," said another.
"Apartment 404's" producer-director (PD) is Jung Chul-min, the PD of the hit programs "Running Man," "Village Survival, The Eight" and "Sixth Sense." He has previously worked with Jennie on the variety show "Village Survival, The Eight" -- also known as "Michuri 8-1000."
