The 29-year-old singer first rose to fame in 2016 as a member of the Ok-Pop sensation, Blackpink. An immediate fan favourite, she struck out on her personal two years later and, in 2019, was named an official Chanel ambassador by the late Karl Lagerfeld. Jennie’s superstardom was so evident that she quickly grew to become often called Korea’s “sell-out queen”—in a great way. Something Jennie touches, wears, or holds will probably promote out immediately, irrespective of the value tag.
Often, in early March, you’ll discover Jennie in Paris at fittings forward of Chanel’s fall ready-to-wear present. However this season was completely different. For the primary time throughout her ambassadorship, fairly than sitting within the entrance row on the Grand Palais, she’s in New York Metropolis. “It feels bizarre for certain,” she says, settling into the inexperienced room. “It’s the primary present in a really very long time I’ll be lacking.” The trade-off, although, marks a serious second in her profession. “There [are] so many feelings, however getting to carry my first present for the primary time in LA meant a lot to me,” she says. “I spent a variety of time on the market engaged on this album, so it was actually particular. And it was my first theater present.” Although Jennie is used to performing in sold-out stadiums and headlining music festivals, she admits that she will get simply as nervous in entrance of smaller audiences. That’s the place her pre-show rituals are available in.
