Captured from Jennie's SNS

Jennie, a member of the global sensation BLACKPINK, has recently discussed the difficulties she has faced on stage, including recurring injuries that have impacted her performances. During her appearance on Dua Lipa's BBC podcast, Jennie candidly shared insights into her life and career.

Reflecting on her early days as a rapper in the competitive world of K-pop, Jennie revealed a gradual shift in her artistic preferences. She expressed, "I started off as a rapper when I first debuted. But gradually, I realized that I enjoyed singing far more than I did rapping, which was a little bewildering at first. There were times when I experienced total burnout and wanted to step away from the mic."

Furthermore, Jennie shed light on her experiences as an idol star, acknowledging the challenges of feeling confined to a particular image. She explained, "I felt I was being shoehorned into expressing just one side of myself. Because of that, I felt hesitant about fully expressing myself creatively later on." However, she has since embraced her journey of self-discovery, stating, "I want to break down more barriers for the sake of those around me. I now believe there's nothing wrong with being myself and that I'm not being held to a specific standard."

Addressing recent criticism regarding her stage presence, Jennie addressed concerns about her perceived "lazy" attitude while dancing. She candidly shared, "I've been dealing with recurring injuries, and it's been very stressful. I make mistakes more often than my group mates, where I fall over and hurt myself. But I know some fans are disappointed because it looks like I'm not trying very hard on stage."

Jennie also emphasized her commitment to personal growth, stating, "I didn't have good control over my body. I've learned to take better care of myself physically since the pandemic, and I want to let the fans know that I'm still in the process of learning more about what I can and can't do."

Despite the challenges she has faced, Jennie has continued to travel the world, connecting with global fans as part of BLACKPINK's ongoing world tour. Additionally, she has ventured into acting, making her debut in the HBO drama series "The Idol."

Jennie's candid interview offers fans a deeper understanding of the personal struggles she has encountered throughout her remarkable career. Her determination to express her true self and overcome obstacles exemplifies her unwavering commitment to growth and authenticity. As BLACKPINK's journey continues to captivate audiences worldwide, Jennie's openness serves as an inspiration to fans and aspiring artists alike.
