Jennie of BLACKPINK might be the definition of a “workaholic,” and in her latest appearance on Hyeri's Club, she opened up about just how packed her schedule is — so much so that she won’t be taking any time off this year!

On January 31, the Hyeri's Club YouTube channel released a revealing episode titled “Jennie's Secrets Revealed... Opening Up at Hyeri's Club,” where Jennie spilled the beans on everything from food preferences to her non-stop work life.

During the episode, Hyeri curiously asked, "Jennie does everything well, but what can't she do?" Jennie confessed that cooking isn’t her strong suit and shared that her favorite food is doenjang jjigae.

She even mentioned how traveling abroad can be a challenge since she can't handle spicy food or coriander, unlike the rest of the members.

Jennie then made a surprising admission about food: “I don’t have a big hobby related to food, and people around me feel bad about it,” she said. She even joked, "I’m the type of person who can solve a meal with a pill," leaving Hyeri shocked. Jennie quickly apologized for her quirky statement, laughing it off.

The conversation then took a more serious turn as they discussed Jennie’s schedule and vacations. Hyeri, who recently enjoyed a getaway to Amanpulo, asked Jennie about her dream vacation spot. Jennie enthusiastically recommended Aman Giri, saying, "It’s a worthwhile trip."

However, when Hyeri asked about Jennie’s upcoming vacation plans, Jennie’s answer left fans concerned. “I don’t think I’ll get a vacation this year," Jennie admitted, revealing just how busy she is with her packed work schedule.

She added, "I’m grateful that when I do work, I feel like I’m resting, even if just for a short time."

When Hyeri questioned her work-life balance, Jennie said, "Honestly, I don’t have any days without a schedule right now." She explained that she’s not only managing her BLACKPINK duties but also running her own company and preparing for her solo album. "I haven’t had the luxury of telling anyone how I spend my rest," Jennie confessed. Her idea of rest? Getting IV drips at the dermatologist!

Hyeri seemed concerned, pointing out that when filming a drama, she takes 2-3 weeks off. Jennie responded, "That’s my goal. Starting next year, I’ll do that." Fans are definitely hoping that Jennie gets the well-deserved break she’s aiming for — but for now, it seems like work is taking priority!

Seo Ye Ji is facing major backlash after her surprising appearance on SNL Korea 7.

On April 12, Seo Ye Ji made her long-awaited return to variety shows by guest-starring on Coupang Play's SNL Korea Season 7.

Before the show started, she made jaws drop by joking, "I'll gaslight the SNL crew and make it fun," referencing her own past controversies.

During the "Seo Ye GPT" segment, Seo Ye Ji played an AI that helped Kim Won Hoon nail a company presentation. She then made a sharp comment, saying, "The truly embarrassing thing is sitting quietly and being talked about behind your back. I've experienced that a lot," hinting at the criticism she’s faced.

In the "Eve Hair Salon" skit, Seo Ye Ji acted as a salon director and joked about her past "Kim Ddak Ddak" scandal, where she was accused of controlling her then-boyfriend Kim Jung Hyun. When a character mentioned her stiff neck, she responded, "It's firm," making everyone laugh but also stirring mixed feelings.

Fans were shocked to see Seo Ye Ji using her past scandals as comedy material, especially since it’s been eight years since her last variety show appearance. Many pointed out that joking about serious accusations like gaslighting and academic fraud might have gone too far.

The controversy over Seo Ye Ji’s education also came back into the spotlight. She had previously claimed she studied abroad in Spain, but in 2021 it was revealed she never actually attended the university she mentioned.

Her agency explained she was accepted but didn’t attend because of her career in Korea, but many netizens weren’t convinced.

On SNL Korea, Seo Ye Ji even played a character who lied about her past to impress a boyfriend, making fans think of her real-life academic background scandal.

After the episode aired, reactions online exploded. Some comments included, "Falsifying academic background is a crime," "This was too much," "It was funny though," "Let’s forgive it since it’s black comedy," and "Why was Seo Ye Ji the first guest?"

Seo Ye Ji’s bold jokes have definitely split public opinion, with some calling it brave and others saying it only reopened old wounds.
