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 Jennie recently shared a fun conversation with her mom, revealing her mother’s unexpected reaction to her becoming a Chanel ambassador!

On March 13, a video was uploaded to the YouTube channel "Study King Genius Hong Jin Kyung." In the video, Hong Jin Kyung visited Jennie’s office.

Since Jennie had previously mentioned that Hong Jin Kyung always makes her laugh, she greeted her warmly with a big hug.

During their chat, Hong Jin Kyung shared a personal story, saying, "My daughter Rael went all the way to the U.S. to watch BLACKPINK at Coachella, but she got scammed when buying tickets. So, she couldn’t see BLACKPINK and ended up crying her eyes out." Jennie reacted with surprise and sympathy.

As they got to know each other better, Jennie decided to call her mom to ask about her prenatal dream. However, her mom didn’t answer right away, so Jennie joked, "She’ll call back later."

Jennie also opened up about her childhood, saying, "I had a strong sense of style from a young age. I loved fashion. I was a really obedient child, but when it came to school, I insisted on wearing what I wanted."

She then talked about her experience studying alone in New Zealand for five years, starting at age nine. "I think it was a crucial experience that helped shape who I am today," she shared.

When the topic of her Chanel ambassadorship came up, Jennie said, "It’s a brand I work with, but since I’ve been with them for so long, they feel like family."

Later, Jennie’s mom finally returned her call. When Jennie asked, "What was my prenatal dream?" her mother replied, "A really big tiger… ah, it caught a carp." Jennie laughed and said, "I think Mom is confused too."

But the moment that caught everyone’s attention was when Jennie asked how her mom felt about her being a Chanel ambassador. Her mother simply said, "Ah, it’s over."

Hong Jin Kyung then joked, "Does that mean it's now my daughter's era? It’s over?"—causing everyone to burst into laughter.

Later, Hong Jin Kyung playfully suggested playing a traditional Korean game with Jennie and made a hilarious request: "Jennie, when you go to Paris, I want to carry your bag. With my own money. But I’ll just bring a tiny camera and follow you a little. I won’t go inside Chanel."

After Hong Jin Kyung won the game, Jennie kept her promise and said, "See you in Paris (in October)," leaving fans excited for what’s next!
