In the September 27 episode of the reality show “My Name is Gabriel” on JTBC, Jennie (Blackpink) transformed into Maria, a farm owner providing accommodation services, born in 1996, from Paliano, near Rome, Italy.
In a pre-screening interview, when asked, “What would you do if you weren’t a celebrity?”, Jennie replied, “I talk about this with my friends all the time. I would probably work in fashion.
I love planning so I think I would make a great event planner."
After finishing a fashion show in Capri, Italy, Jennie arrived at the farm only to be greeted by a woman with a friendly smile, leaving her a little confused.
It turned out that the woman was Maria's best friend, Roberta. "At first, I was very confused. It was not easy to adapt," Jennie shared.
Roberta said that Maria often visited the horse farm and introduced Bambi, a horse that Maria loved. As Jennie brushed its mane, she recalled memories of her childhood.
“It brings back a lot of memories from when I was a kid. I used to feed the horses apples and carrots. Even when my family called me back to Korea for the holidays while I was in New Zealand, I would tell them I was at the horse farm,” she recalled.
After packing, Jennie has dinner with her mother Maria, who reveals the story of how she moved to the countryside after suffering a stroke at the age of 21.
Mother Maria spoke passionately about the beauty of living in nature: “Love is a choice. You can go somewhere else, but you choose not to.” Jennie nodded in agreement, deeply moved by her words.
Jennie’s images in the show “My Name is Gabriel” were also spread on social media. The female idol’s appearance was praised as cute and friendly. The keyword “JENNIE is MARIA” recorded tens of thousands of posts on Twitter.
