Blackpink's Jennie is a female idol whose K-pop song reached No. 1 on Billboard in 2025 (up to now). She just appeared on the cover of the special issue of Elle Korea's August issue.
The photo series captures the charming everyday moments of the female singer as a Chanel brand ambassador, wearing designs from the Pre-wear collection Thu/Dong 2025.
Looking back at her current life, Jennie shared: My favorite moment is simply waking up late at home, resting and opening the window to watch the sky. That was a peaceful and warm moment that I cherished.
The singer is currently busy promoting both her solo song and Blackpink's comeback single "JUMP".
Jennie shared about her solo journey that has helped her grow up: "During the process of making the Ruby album, I motivated myself to overcome challenges and mistakes. I became stronger, and so did the other members through their personal journey. Blackpink reunites as a more mature and understanding team."
Talking about the hot song "Like Jennie", she shared: "In this song, Jennie is just an icon. anyone who sings a song should feel empowered and love themselves in their own way. I created it in the hope that it would bring confidence - not only to others, but also to myself."
The song "Like Jennie" was recently ranked No. 1 on Billboard's "25 Best K-Pop Songs of 2025 (so far)" list. The magazine praised the song as "a 2-minute, powerful song that reverses all negative stories and strengthens Jennie's status as an It-Girl (a young, beautiful woman who has a great influence on fashion, style, and popular culture) next, with the most daring rap of her career".
Moreover, the song reached number 83 on the Billboard Hot 100, spent 11 weeks on Pop Airplay and surpassed her English song Mantra on the US Top 40 radio chart - proving the rare dominance of a Korean song.
