Yes — that’s essentially what happened, and it makes sense from a fashion-industry point of view.

===== - Dior was interested in Jennie early on (2016–2017). =====
* They were watching her as a high-potential fashion muse, the same way they monitored other rising idols.
* Jennie had: - Strong editorial presence - Natural elegance - Global appeal even as a rookie

So yes, Dior did consider Jennie.

===== Dior ultimately looked for a muse who embodied: =====
* Classic, timeless elegance
* Soft femininity
* A princess / haute couture image

That profile fit Jisoo perfectly:
* Traditional beauty aligned with Dior’s heritage
* Calm, graceful aura
* Strong compatibility with Dior’s couture, beauty, and storytelling

Jennie, on the other hand:
* Has a dual image (cute + edgy)
* Leans more modern, experimental, and fashion-forward
* Naturally fits brands like Chanel, YSL, Prada-type aesthetics more than Dior’s classic line

===== This was not a rejection of Jennie. =====
* Luxury houses often monitor the same idol at the same time
* They simply choose the best long-term image match
* Dior didn’t “lose” Jennie — they strategically aligned with Jisoo

===== - ✅ Dior showed interest in Jennie =====
* 🎯 Dior chose Jisoo because she matched Dior’s core DNA better
* 👑 Jennie matched Chanel/YSL more naturally
* 🤝 No rivalry, no drama — just brand strategy

If you want, I can also explain:
* Why Prada didn’t move forward
* Why YSL was closest to securing Jennie
* Or compare Jennie vs Jisoo brand DNA clearly
