1. JENNIE's First Solo Studio Album: Ruby
Global K-pop superstar JENNIE of BLACKPINK has made a powerful comeback with her first full-length solo studio album, Ruby. This album is a reflection of her unique charm, fearless attitude, and versatile artistry.
The concept behind Ruby draws inspiration from Shakespeare's comedy As You Like It, particularly the famous line:
"All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players."
Just like an actress on a stage, JENNIE embodies various musical personas throughout the album. The name Ruby itself is inspired by her middle name, symbolizing both elegance and strength.
The title track, “Like JENNIE”, which JENNIE personally participated in writing and composing, showcases her unshakable confidence and individuality. The song serves as a bold anthem for self-love and authenticity—true to her iconic identity.

Come on, it’s gon be f hard
Special edition and your AI couldn’t copy
I’m leaving clues in the fitting room and it’s hot tea
No I’m not thinking ’bout no exes know they miss me
I got the whole room spinning like it’s tipsy
Don’t bore us take you to the chorus
Whooooooo wanna rock with Jennie
Keep your hair done, nails done like Jennie
Who else got ‘em obsessed like Jennie

Haters they don’t really like
Cause they can never ever be
But have you ever met
Jennie Jennie Jennie Jennie

터트려봐 그럼 더 큰 홀에서
만나는 거야 제니를
[Try bursting my bubble, you’ll just meet JENNIE in an even bigger arena]

예술작품엔 필요해 frame이
[A masterpiece needs a frame]
I’ve slayed it, and I graved it
Yes I'm guilty 잘난 게 죄니
[Yes, I’m guilty—if being exceptional is a crime]
Whooooooo wanna rock with Jennie

[“Like JENNIE” Lyric Highlights]
Whooooooo wanna rock with Jennie
Keep your hair done, nails done like Jennie
Who else got ‘em obsessed like Jennie

But have you ever met Jennie, Jennie, Jennie?
Yes I’m guilty – 잘난 게 죄니 (Is being too good a crime?)
These lyrics fuse English and Korean seamlessly, emphasizing JENNIE's fearless message: embrace who you are, and let the world adjust.
The visuals of the music video also reflect this concept, with JENNIE leaving subtle “clues in the fitting room,” standing confidently amid flashing lights, haute couture, and references to her pop culture dominance.
