So when Blackpink debuted in 2016 with the album Square OneThe women’s group was “A success from Get Go” As a hosting singer -songwriter Jung Jaehyung Put it. But when she suggested that she and the group immediately got up to the celebrity, Jennie shared that she felt differently.
Jung Jaehyung: After [enduring a long and difficult training period]You finally debuted and become Blackpink. The group was a great success from the beginning, right?
Jennie: Well, yes. Fortunately, many fans have supported us directly from our debut album.
Jung Jaehyung: Was it like an ascent during the night at the superstard? How, boom! And your life did a 180?
Jennie: Well … the fact is, for me, I consider a different moment in my career as when my life has made a 180. And it was not immediately after the debut.
For Jennie, because YG Entertainment has maintained Blackpink rather “Blocked in the basement” (Since longtime k-pop fans refer to their inactivation) even after the huge debut, life was not a different post “Boombayah” and “Wove”.
Personally, immediately after the debut, Blackpink did not have many promotional programs. Our activities as a group were limited. So … even after the debut, the next day I was sent back to my daily routine to wake up and go to practice. I really didn’t have a planned. People would be like “what a successful debut! Good for you! ‘ I wouldn’t take it.
