Jennie’s solo venture

In December 2024, the Blackpink members announced they were parting ways with their label, YG Entertainment as they embark on their solo journeys. However, all the group activities will be conducted via the YG label. In June of 2023, Jennie released One of the Girls with The Weeknd and Lily-Rose Depp, daughter of actor Johnny Depp. The track was featured in HBO’s The Idol starring the latter two in the series, as reported by Billboard.

Jennie’s solo has since then been streamed over 1 billion times on Spotify alone and RIAA certified it as Platinum. The track was followed by her next solo titled You and Me which opened at the no.1 position on Billboard Global Excel US chart. With this smashing opening, she became the second member to do so preceded by Rosé’s On the Ground.

Her first solo song, aptly titled SOLO was released in 2018 and topped the Billboard‘s World Digital Song Sales chart. This year she released a couple of collaborative songs including SPOT! with ZICO and Slow Motion with Matt Champion.
