BLACKPINK’s global star, Jennie, is shining on the cover of Billboard magazine, and she’s opening up like never before about her solo debut!

On January 9 (local time), Billboard shared a new article titled "The Fight with Myself: Jennie’s Deep Dive into Creating Her Solo Album," featuring stunning photos of Jennie and a heartfelt interview.

In the article, Billboard teases that while the world knows Jennie as a member of BLACKPINK, her upcoming solo album will reveal the "real Jennie."

Jennie shared her personal journey, saying, “I started listing what I wanted in my life and began to figure out what the next step would be. Then I realized, ‘I still haven’t achieved the dream of releasing a solo album.’” She added, “I wanted to fulfill that goal and feel satisfied with myself.”

She also spoke about the exciting new chapter in her career, including founding her own company, OA Entertainment (ODDATELIER), and the partnership with Columbia Records.

“I want to complete myself as Jennie Ruby Jane,” Jennie said, hinting at the deeper meaning behind her solo album. “Once the album is released, you’ll understand exactly what I mean. I rap here, sing here, harmonize here, and tell stories here. With various genres and elements, I made sure that I love every single song in the album.”

Jennie’s solo album is officially ready to drop, and fans can expect a mix of everything she’s passionate about, from rap to singing to storytelling.

Shim Hyung Tak has introduced his newborn son, and people can’t stop talking about how much he resembles BTS’s Jungkook!

On the February 26 episode of Channel A’s Men’s Life These Days: Groom Class, the show gave viewers an update on Shim Hyung Tak and his wife Saya after they welcomed their baby boy.

During the show, Lee Seung Chul couldn’t help but notice how exhausted Shim looked from parenting duties.

Shim explained, “I was up with the baby until 6:30 AM today. I take care of him from 11 PM to 7 AM while my wife sleeps. Then, when she wakes up, I sleep, and we take turns raising him together.”

Shim also opened up about his wife’s tough labor experience. He shared, “She was in labor for 12 hours. A nurse even told me, ‘The mother was incredible. She endured the pain without even groaning.’” He expressed how grateful he was to his wife for her strength.

As the couple moved into a postpartum care center, they finally revealed their baby’s face for the first time. The cast members were in awe, exclaiming, “He’s so beautiful!”

Moon Se Yoon couldn’t hold back his reaction and joked, “He looks exactly like his mom and dad. Did he get a nose job before he was born?”

Shim Jin Hwa then made a surprising comment, saying, “I think he looks more like BTS’s Jungkook than his dad.” To this, Shim Hyung Tak laughed and replied, “I hope so.” Moon Se Yoon added, “He’s definitely going to be more handsome than you.”

Fans are already excited to see more of Shim Hyung Tak’s son, wondering if he’ll grow up to be as charming as Jungkook!
