She discussed the challenges of working solo versus being part of a group, emphasizing the responsibility of making decisions independently as a solo artist.

“Very shy” and “the quietest”

In contrast to her assertive, self-assured theatrical demeanour, Jennie characterised herself as “very shy” and “the quietest” among her peers.

Her current favourite BLACKPINK song is “Lovesick Girls,” which she enjoys for its fun and girly vibe, something the group rarely showcases. She also hinted that her upcoming album will feature self-composed tracks.

Jennie made her solo comeback on Oct 11, KST, with the release of her single Mantra. Jennie is a member of the popular South Korean girl group BLACKPINK.

She is known for her powerful vocals, rap skills, and captivating stage presence. She is considered one of the best rappers in K-pop, known for her fast flow and unique style.
