Speaking to Elle Korea, BLACKPINK's Jennie shared that her debut album, Ruby, came with constant adjustments. She said the experience helped her grow stronger with time.

"I learned and felt a lot while preparing for this solo album <Ruby>. I kept bumping to improve the degree of perfection, and through trial and error, I felt that I had become a little stronger at some point," the artist asserted.

The Mantra hitmaker also noted that all BLACKPINK members returned after their own solo journeys, leading to better teamwork. With their recent comeback song JUMP now out, Jennie stated this round of promotions holds more weight for all four members.

"The other members also came back after going through their own journey, so they understood each other more deeply and became a more flexible and mature team. I think this activity will be really special for me and the members," she added.

The 29-year-old made her solo debut in March 2025 with the release of Ruby, a 15-track album. The project brought together global artists like Diplo, FKJ, Dua Lipa, Doechii, Kali Uchis, and Childish Gambino.

The album sold over a million copies within its first week and received double platinum certification from KMCA. Music publications, including Billboard and Rolling Stone, listed it among the top albums of the year.


Moreover, Jennie's solo tour, The Ruby Experience, also began on March 6th. It ran through Los Angeles, New York, Seoul, and wrapped in Paris on March 21st. Later, the K-pop idol performed solo at Coachella on April 13 and 20th.
