BLACKPINK’s Jennie just blew up our playlists by unleashing “ZEN” without so much as a heads-up—just a few hours after announcing her “Ruby Experience” shows. This killer bop was released on January 25, accompanied by a super-stylish music video, making fans go crazy. The drop not only proves Jennie’s dramatic flair but also makes fans hyped for her debut studio album, “Ruby,” set to hit our ears on March 7.

Meanwhile, her bold visuals and vocal confidence make it one of the most exciting K-pop releases this year (and it’s only January). Watch the video here:
