Fans were particularly excited by Jennie’s confirmation of new solo music. She hinted that her upcoming project will feature songs blending Korean and English lyrics, exploring darker and more cinematic themes than her earlier work. This potential release could be the successor of Jennie’s successful debut album “Ruby,” which was largely regarded as the strongest project from a BLACKPINK solo member in 2025, and spawned hits like “Mantra” and “Love Hangover.”
