About Jennie
Jennie Kim (Korean: 김제니; born January 16, 1996), known mononymously as Jennie, is a South Korean singer, rapper, songwriter, and actress. Born in South Korea, she moved to New Zealand in 2004 and returned to South Korea to successfully audition for YG Entertainment in 2010. She rose to prominence as a member of the South Korean girl group Blackpink, which debuted in August 2016 and became one of the best-selling girl groups of all time. In November 2018, Jennie released her debut single "Solo", which topped South Korea's Circle Digital Chart and the US Billboard World Digital Songs chart. The music video for "Solo" was the first by a Korean female soloist to surpass one billion views on YouTube. Her 2023 single "You & Me" reached number one on the Billboard Global Excl. US chart. Jennie established her own label named Odd Atelier in 2023 and signed with Columbia Records in 2024. Her debut studio album, Ruby (2025), sold one million copies worldwide and tied for the highest position on the UK Albums Chart by a Korean solo artist. It entered the top ten of the US Billboard 200 and spawned the Billboard Global 200 top-five hits "Mantra" and "Like Jennie"; the former broke the recort.
