On October 12, BLACKPINK’s Jennie posted two stories in English and Korean on her Instagram, the first one read: “Instagram isn’t working on my phone right now. Please be patient with me, there is so much I want to post.”
He also wrote, “Thank you so much for all the love on ‘Mantra’,” before adding “Please fix my ig” and tagging the official Instagram account, along with some crying emojis.”
Jennie’s sudden inability to access her account led to suspicions of hacking, especially since there have been cases of celebrity Instagram accounts being hacked in the past.
Additionally, there was a case where dating rumors between Jennie and BTS’s V were incited after a probable hacking case.
Meanwhile, Jennie recently made a deep impression with her new single, “Mantra,” which was released simultaneously worldwide on October 11 at 9am KST. By the next day, it had reached number one on major music platforms, including Bugs in Korea and the iTunes “Top Song” charts in 47 countries, such as the United States, Brazil, Singapore, the Philippines, and Mexico.
“Mantra” is a powerful and energetic song that encourages everyone to shine in their own way and embrace their unique charm. The song delivers a message of self-love and mutual support, as Jennie showcases her signature style and presence.
Jennie became the first K-pop female solo artist to top the US iTunes “Top Song” chart this year with “Mantra.” The music video also rose to number one on YouTube trending videos in Korea and the United States and topped YouTube’s worldwide trending charts, reflecting the immense anticipation for Jennie’s solo comeback.
In related news, British data analytics firm Hopper HQ recently revealed its “Instagram Rich List 2024,” which details how much global celebrities can earn per post on Instagram. According to their analysis, Jennie ranks 36th globally, earning an estimated $511,000 (approximately KRW 686 million) per post.
