Biografia

Jennie Kim, known mononymously as JENNIE, is a South Korean singer, rapper, songwriter, and actress under Odd Atelier. Born in South Korea, she moved to New Zealand in 2004 and returned to South Korea to successfully audition for YG Entertainment in 2010. She rose to prominence as a member of the South Korean girl group BLACKPINK, which debuted in August 2016 and became one of the best-selling girl groups of all time. In November 2018, Jennie released her debut single Solo, which topped South Korea's Circle Digital Chart and the US Billboard World Digital Songs chart; its music video was the first by a Korean female soloist to surpass one billion views on YouTube. Her 2023 single You & Me reached number 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. US chart. Jennie established her own label named Odd Atelier in 2023 and signed with Columbia Records in 2024. Her debut studio album, Ruby (2025), sold one million copies worldwide and tied for the highest position on the UK Albums Chart by a Korean solo artist. It entered the top ten of the US Billboard 200 and spawned the Billboard Global 200 top-five hits Mantra and Like Jennie; the latter broke the record for the highest-charting song by a Korean female soloist on the UK Singles Chart, and reached number 1 in South Korea. She achieved her first top-ten entry on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 2026 with her remix of Tame Impala's Dracula. Outside of music, Jennie made her acting debut under the stage name Jennie Ruby Jane in the 2023 HBO television series The Idol. Her accolades include two Korean Music Awards, four Golden Disc Awards, six MAMA Awards, three Melon Music Awards, and a Billboard Women in Music Award. She became the first solo artist to win Artist of the Year at the Golden Disc Awards and Record of the Year at the Melon Music Awards, and the first Korean soloist to win a Billboard Women in Music Award.
