From releasing solo music to making her acting debut in The Idol, Jennie proved to her supporters that she can excel alone in multiple fields, making fans more excited for her solo works under OA.
Further details about Jennie’s plans for the new venture will be unveiled in the future.
Jennie still in BLACKPINK’s area
Although the “Solo” singer will handle her solo activities with OA, Jennie will still participate in BLACKPINK’s group activities under YG Entertainment. As YG announced in early December, all four members have signed an exclusive contract with the agency, assuring that the quartet will continue performing together.
Since their debut in 2016, BLACKPINK established themselves as one of the biggest and most successful girl groups in the world. In 2023 alone, the “Pink Venom” hitmakers managed to take home multiple awards from Billboard and Guinness World Records, among many others.
In addition, the four-piece act also released their first ever virtual concert BLACKPINK: A VR Encore last December 26 to celebrate the holidays.
However, BLACKPINK is currently inactive as Jisoo, Rose, and Lisa are still negotiating individual contracts with YG Entertainment.
