Why does Blackpink rule the world?
“Perseverance and determination” were the keys to being a pop star, Jenny told MAX, and comfort is key—she brings her own pillow everywhere.
Born Jennie Kim, she signed with K-pop behemoth YG Entertainment in 2010 and has been a member of the ragingly successful Blackpink since their formation in 2016. A skilled rapper, she was the first of the bunch to go solo—with, fittingly, her 2018 track “Solo.”
“Hip-hop means something different to everyone,” she told Rolling Stone last year. “To me, it’s the spirit of cool—vibes, swag, whatever words you can use.”
