BLACKPINK’s Jennie recently opened up about a surprising disappointment during a candid conversation with the team behind her first solo album.

On January 30th, Jennie was the first guest on the popular YouTube channel SsookSsook, where she sat down with Yang Se Chan and the production crew to discuss her promotional plans.

Jennie, always charming, smiled and said, “If this goes well, everything else will follow. I need to make sure I get something out of it,” showing her dedication to her upcoming projects.

During the session, Jennie shared her thoughts on the music industry’s fast-changing landscape. She admitted, “I’ve been working hard on my music, but the world has changed so much. Just releasing a song doesn't mean people will listen anymore. There’s so much coming out everywhere now. I want to do things that fans love, but I’m not sure what that is.”

As the conversation shifted to ideas for fan content, Jennie expressed her desire to create fun videos where she could travel and enjoy delicious food.

However, she pointed out a big problem: “I can't let people know when I'm filming, or it becomes forced because my movements get revealed,” leaving her unable to fully enjoy the experience. She even ruled out domestic travel content due to practical reasons.

But the most surprising moment came when Jennie addressed the topic of challenges. "I haven’t really done one properly yet," she said, sounding disappointed. “No one ever asks me to join.”

She even questioned how these challenges are offered, saying, “I’m curious, how do they give and receive challenges like that?” The PD on set responded, “It usually happens a lot in the hallways of music shows.”

Jennie then revealed, “Whenever I go, there’s no one in the hallway. Am I going on days when no one is there? I wish someone would ask me, 'Let’s do it together,' but no one ever does.”

Jennie’s honesty and playful frustration revealed just how humble and relatable the star can be. It seems that even one of K-pop's biggest idols wants to be asked to join in on the fun challenges that often happen behind the scenes!

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
