Jennie Kim, of BLACKPINK fame, global superstar and fashion icon, is on her first solo tour. This transformational trip is another highlight in her remarkable career. Jennie, one-fourth of the world-famous K-Pop quartet Blackpink, has now found herself under the spotlight by herself. This is the first time she takes this bold leap. Her adventure takes her to legendary cities like Paris, Los Angeles and New York. She has an equally committed team that’s been helping her every step of the way.
Included in Jennie’s nearly constant entourage is her photographer on the road, Choey, who is collecting every minute of this tour. Despite years of modeling experience, Jennie still seeks advice from her team on how to pose for these spontaneous snapshots.
"This is my third show [for the album],” Jennie Kim shares, highlighting the excitement and novelty of her solo performances.
Jennie’s tour isn’t just a series of concerts—it’s a deeply personal exploration. She is passionate about small group meals. Her small circle features her best friend, Allison Chang, who’s the head of biz at her label Odd Atelier. That close-knit support system makes it so that she is not as nervous even when she’s performing in front of smaller audiences.
Despite her global recognition and frequent appearances at sold-out stadiums and headlining music festivals, Jennie admits to feeling nervous before performing. Her debut album, Ruby, features a soothing track titled "Intro: Jane with FKJ," which she listens to calm her nerves before stepping on stage. The Ruby Experience is a multi-discipline, art and community-focused, one woman show where Jennie and her dancers provide a moving, thought provoking, high energy live experience.
Jennie's rise to fame began in 2016 with Blackpink, where she quickly became known as Korea's "sell-out queen" due to her immense popularity. Don’t take our word for it. In 2019, the fashion powerhouse was personally appointed an official Chanel ambassador by the iconic Karl Lagerfeld. Fast forward to today, and she’s still doing it — she’s the latest muse for the Chanel 25 handbag.
Her creative relationship with Chanel has been the legacy of her career. As our longtime ambassador, Jennie is the very definition of our brand’s classic elegance and poise. Her affiliation with such an iconic fashion house further emphasizes her impact beyond music, crossing over into the fashion industry.
Jennie’s journey to public office hasn’t been without its hurdles. Despite being the subject of countless photoshoots, she remains camera shy, revealing a more private side to her public persona. Her magnetic appeal is matched only by her chameleonic creativity, keeping fans constantly on their toes.
