Jennie from BLACKPINK has made a powerful statement by gracing the cover of Billboard magazine.

On January 9 (local time), Billboard unveiled a feature article titled, "A Battle with Myself: Jennie's Deep Dive into Creating Her Solo Album," alongside stunning visuals from her photoshoot and an exclusive interview. The article and cover story appear in the January issue of Billboard magazine, now available on the publication's official website.

Highlighting Jennie's journey, Billboard wrote, "The world knows BLACKPINK's Jennie, but with her upcoming solo debut album, fans will finally discover the real Jennie."

In her candid interview, Jennie shared her motivations: "I started listing the things I want in my life and figuring out exactly what the next steps and priorities should be. It hit me that I hadn't yet fulfilled my dream of releasing a solo album. Achieving that goal felt like something I needed to do for my own satisfaction." She also discussed the creation of her label, ODDATELIER, and her partnership with Columbia Records, offering fans an intimate look into her artistic process.

Jennie further elaborated on her aspirations, saying, "I want to complete myself as Jennie Ruby Jane, as a whole person. Once the album is out, people will understand what I mean. I've woven together various genres and elements-rapping here, singing there, creating harmonies, and storytelling-into a soundscape where I genuinely love every track." She confirmed that the preparation for her solo album is now complete.

Fans can explore more of Jennie's photoshoot and in-depth interview on Billboard's official website. Her solo comeback marks another milestone for BLACKPINK members embarking on individual journeys, adding to the excitement for what's next in her illustrious career.
