The excitement is palpable as BLACKPINK’s Jennie gears up for the release of her debut solo album, “Ruby,” set to drop tomorrow, March 7, at 2 PM KST. Just a day before the big unveiling, Jennie took to Instagram to share the first episode of her new series, “Behind The Curtain: Road to Ruby,” giving fans an exclusive look at her creative process.
In this intimate series, Jennie opens up about her thrilling experience in the studio, describing it as a groundbreaking journey that pushed her artistic boundaries. She emphasizes the importance of this moment in her career, stating that she is ready to share her true musical vision and reveal new aspects of herself to her fans. With a mix of gratitude for her creative team, which includes both familiar faces and new collaborators, Jennie showcases the hard work and dedication she has poured into this project over the past year.
Fans are buzzing with anticipation, particularly for the track “Handlebars,” a collaboration with Dua Lipa that is rumored to feature its own music video. The excitement is heightened by whispers from attendees of Jennie’s recent listening party, who claim that “Handlebars” is a seamless duet that could become a massive hit. Another standout track, “with the IE (way up),” cleverly references Jennie’s name while sampling Jennifer Lopez’s iconic “Jenny From The Block.” This song reportedly originated in Jennie’s mind just before the release of her single “SOLO” in late 2018.
The album also includes the empowering anthem “Filter,” where Jennie celebrates self-love with the memorable line, “I love me more… with no filter.” Additionally, “Seoul City” pays homage to her roots, showcasing her pride in her culture and identity. The emotional depth of the album is further highlighted by the poignant track “twin,” which reflects on the pain of losing a close friend.
Meanwhile, Lisa is keeping busy with her own whirlwind schedule. Recently spotted on a shopping date with Thai social media star Aon Somrutai, she was accompanied by her well-known bodyguard, Kateyki. Following her electrifying performance at the Oscars, Lisa has hinted at more live performances on the horizon. Fans are eagerly speculating about a potential showcase of her B-side track “Elasticgirl,” especially after its title appeared in her recent outfit.
However, Lisa’s live vocals have sparked debate after a clip from her appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” circulated online, leading some to misinterpret her comments about singing. While some claimed she admitted to not being a singer, fans quickly clarified that her words were taken out of context, as she was discussing her preference for hyping up friends during karaoke rather than taking the spotlight herself.
In other news, Jisoo has reassured fans about her well-being after concerns arose regarding a possible leg injury. Taking to Bubble, she explained that her shoes felt loose during a recent Dior fashion show, but she is perfectly fine. She also expressed her gratitude for the memories shared on the platform, encouraging fans to cherish their time together.
As anticipation builds for Rosé’s upcoming deluxe album “Rosie,” fans were treated to a cryptic teaser from Atlantic Records UK, hinting at a danceable collection of tracks. Speculation is rife that the album may feature multiple versions or remixes, given that 23 different work IDs have been registered under her name.
In financial news, Celebrity Net Worth recently updated its rankings, revealing that Rosé has officially become the wealthiest member of BLACKPINK, boasting an estimated net worth of $30 million. Lisa follows closely behind with $25 million, while Jennie and Jisoo are both valued at $20 million. These figures reflect the members’ remarkable individual achievements in music and endorsements, further solidifying BLACKPINK’s global impact.
As fans eagerly await the release of “Ruby” and the latest updates from the group, one question lingers: What surprises do BLACKPINK have in store for their devoted followers next?
