BLACKPINK member Jennie is currently one of the most popular Kpop stars and never fails to amaze her fans with her voice, dance and beauty.
She recently achieved a new milestone by gaining the title of the ultimate K-pop act with 34.5M monthly listeners on the music streaming platform, Spotify. Jennie has also surpassed the record created by BTS member Jungkook.
Jungkook’s monthly listeners on Spotify stand at 34.4 million and Jennie has gained 34.5 million listeners. She has gained over 1.2 billion streams on Spotify, becoming the first female K-pop soloist to achieve that without the release of a solo album. Jennie only has three songs under her credit including ‘Solo’, ‘You & Me’ and ‘One of the Girls’ with The Weeknd and Lily Rose-Depp.
On the work front, Jennie has launched her own label ‘ODD ATELIER’ but has decided to stay associated with her agency YG Entertainment for the group activities with BLACKPINK. Jennie recently talked about her decision not to renew her solo contract with her agency for solo activities and said that she wanted to be more free.
She said, “I wanted to do group activities with the company I had been with for seven years, but I wanted to be freer and more comfortable in my individual activities, so I carefully founded a company called OA. I will work with the crew I have been with for a long time. I wanted to be able to do all my activities freely.”
Announcing her label, Jennie penned a note for fans and expressed her excitement about her new journey. She wrote, “Hi, This is Jennie. This year was filled with many accomplishments and I am so thankful for all the love I have received. I am also excited about what’s to come, as I start my solo journey in 2024 with a company that I have established called OA. Please show lots of love for my new start with OA and of course, BLACKPINK. Thank you.”
Jennie will be seen in the South Korean variety show ‘Apartment 404’ which will be released on Prime Video in February 2024.
