BLACKPINK member Jennie opened up about her life after going independent and starting her own company!

On March 9, a new episode featuring Jennie was uploaded to the YouTube channel Fairy Jaehyung.

During the conversation, Jung Jae Hyung brought up Jennie’s recent overseas interview and praised her, saying, “Just like you said, it seems like you’ve really learned how to find yourself. Do you think you realized this more after going solo?”

Jennie nodded and shared, “That’s right. I was surprised by myself too. Before, I used to share responsibilities with my members, but now I have to handle everything on my own.”

Jung Jae Hyung then pointed out that Jennie now has a whole team working under her. When he asked how many people are in her company, Jennie revealed, “Right now, there are about 15 people.”

The conversation then shifted to the challenges of running a company, especially the high costs of album production. Jennie admitted, “When I decided to start my own company and go independent, I had a lot of discussions with my mom. There was something we both agreed on.”

She continued, “If there’s something I really want to do or a dream I want to achieve, I should see it through to the end. If I don’t want to do it afterward, then I don’t have to. But it wouldn’t be right to just complain or have regrets without even trying.” She added, “That’s why I invest a lot in myself.”

Meanwhile, in December 2023, Jennie officially launched ODD ATELIER (OA), her own one-person agency, with her mother. She is currently active as both an artist and CEO of the company.

BIGBANG’s G-Dragon spilled a hilarious story about his first time meeting Jo Se Ho!

On the March 9 episode of MBC’s Good Day, G-Dragon revealed that he first encountered Jo Se Ho at a luxury brand store.

During the show, Defconn curiously asked, “How did you two first meet? Was it all set up or what?”

Jo Se Ho confidently answered, “I first met Jiyong at an event where he was doing a collaboration.” But G-Dragon had a completely different memory!

“Hyung, your memory is different from mine,” G-Dragon said, making everyone curious. He then explained, “When I was still a rookie, I went to a luxury store with Taeyang. At the checkout counter, there was this guy holding four or five shopping bags."

He added, "Taeyang and I were looking at him, thinking, ‘Who is that?’ And it turned out to be ‘Cabbage’ (Yangbaechu),” he said, cracking everyone up.

G-Dragon quickly clarified, “Not Se Ho hyung—Yangbaechu.” Hearing this, Defconn and Hong Jin Kyung burst out laughing.

They teased Jo Se Ho, joking, “That’s the kind of store where even BIGBANG members get nervous,” and “What kind of life have you been living? You’re living way beyond your means!”

Meanwhile, Good Day airs every Sunday at 9:10 PM KST on MBC. ?
