Netizens are buzzing with excitement over BLACKPINK Jennie's thriving schedule since parting ways with YG Entertainment.

Towards the end of 2023, BLACKPINK members renewed their group contract with YG Entertainment, excluding individual deals. Soon after, Jennie established her own agency, ODDATELIER, to manage her solo endeavors.

Even though 2024 has just begun, fans are already applauding Jennie for her packed schedule. In the first few days of the year, stunning photos of Jennie for Hera and Coco Chanel were unveiled.

Jennie's participation in the upcoming show "Apartment 404" generated further anticipation, with the trailer released on January 2. Netizens eagerly await her return to the variety show scene after a considerable hiatus.

Adding to the excitement, it was announced on the same day that Jennie would be the inaugural guest on Lee Hyori's new show, "Red Carpet."

Spotting her entering the KBS building heightened the anticipation for her first appearance on a KBS show, excluding music programs.

As news of Jennie's appearance on "Red Carpet" spread, netizens flooded the internet with comments suggesting that YG Entertainment had hindered her potential.

Despite the recent announcement of her solo company, fans speculate that Jennie has been involved in solo activities for a while and commend her for actively promoting herself.

Netizens shared their thoughts:

"This proves YG was the issue; everyone is suddenly working hard like rent is due!"

"YG held Jennie back so much, with some even blaming her for not appearing on variety shows. Look at her now!"

"Notice how Jennie is getting more opportunities after leaving YG. She's truly flourishing after being set free!"

"Jennie's packed schedule post-YG proves how much she was held back. It's fantastic to see her finally break free."

"From being the least seen on Korean shows to securing two appearances in just two days, Jennie's journey from YG restrictions is remarkable."
