More details on Jennie's appearance at the Jennifer Hudson Show
Jennie's appearance on the Jennifer Hudson Show was met with excitement from the audience. She answered many questions and revealed a lot on the show, but she opted out of sharing any spoilers about BLACKPINK's upcoming tour. Jennie spoke a lot about her newly released album, Ruby. When asked what song from the album she was most excited about and couldn't wait for people to hear, the 29-year-old idol replied.
"I want to say all 15 of them. Some songs are personal; some songs are just amazing to listen to when you're driving or when you are out at a party."
She continued:
"I wanted to create something that was a little bit of everything for my fans to enjoy at every moment so they can't get me out of their heads. So I want to say all fifteen songs. I want everyone to hear all of them and just, you know, enjoy them."
The ExtraL crooner talked about her thoughts on becoming a Pop star.
"I knew I wanted to be in the music industry, but I didn't know what a pop star was like at that time. I would see them on stage and everything looked so glamorous and fantastic. I didn't really understand if I wanted to be that, doing shows on stage, but I knew I wanted to get in there."
She also talked about how her journey as a rapper began.
"It happened actually in quite a funny way. When we were in the trainee days, I was pretty much the only person that knew how to speak English pretty fluently."
She continued:
"They needed someone to speak it out fast and make it work, so I kind of got into it for a funny reason. Then, in the end, I started being like, okay, I get this; let me try and be a rapper for myself and not just cover other people's verses."
