(London = Yonhap News) Correspondent Yoon-Jung Choi = Black Pink Jennie confessed that she was stressed because she kept getting hurt during the performance, and also expressed her grievance about wearing high heels.
Jennie said this while appearing on British pop star Dua Lipa’s BBC podcast released on the 14th (local time).
Jennie said, “I kept getting hurt during the performance. It was stressful.” He said, “It was like, ‘Let’s start,’ and then I fell and fell again.”
“I want to say that I didn’t know how to control my body,” he said. “I’ve learned to take care of my body since the pandemic.”
He said, “I wanted to be honest. No, I wanted to let the fans know that I was in the process of learning about myself.”
The BBC said it was the first time Jenny had admitted to criticism that she danced loosely.
The BBC said that such recognition is unusual in the K-pop world, where standards are high and controls are strong.
At the same time, Jennie was criticized for being unprofessional, but in fact, the BBC said that she maintains a higher standard than most Western artists.
Jenny said in an interview that dancing in high heels is difficult.
He said, “Some people are good at wearing heels, but my feet don’t fit,” he said.
The BBC said that Jennie has recently chosen more comfortable shoes, such as boots with ankle support or low-heeled shoes.
When asked about the Korean culture she wanted to know more about, Jennie said, “What I want to say about the music industry is the work ethic we aim for. Everything related to our job and how we spent our 6-year trainee days.” said.
However, when asked how he kept his identity during his trainee days, he also suggested that it was a difficult environment.
Some commented that Dua Lipa was like ‘survival of the fittest’ or similar to what other actors and musicians do during auditions.
Jennie said that when she was a trainee, she was told to rap because of her English, and that she suffered burnout after her debut.
Jenny said that at the age of 10, she went to New Zealand without even saying hello, lived a different school life from Korea, and lived happily.
He also confessed that he burst into tears after being a headliner at the US Coachella Music Festival.
He said that he, who is not Blackpink, is a ‘nerd’ who likes to learn new things, and said, “When I don’t have work, I just go to pottery class or learn French.”
Dua Lipa introduced Jennie as her friend and said she liked the way Blackpink promoted Korean culture. In 2018, Dua Lipa collaborated with Blackpink on ‘KISS AND MAKE UP’.
Jenny revealed that this was her first experience appearing on a podcast.
