Jennie was openly challenged by her junior, but didn't dare to say anything.

Recently, Jennie returned to the music scene with the single Mantra and a "money-filled" MV filmed entirely in Los Angeles, USA. Jennie's vibrant pop-dance immediately became a hit all over the world.

The song achieved numerous impressive musical achievements, helping Jennie become the first female Kpop star this year to have an iTunes chart in the US. Although it is an English single, Jennie did not completely neglect the domestic market.

After the first stage aired on the American TV channel Jimmy Kimmel Live, Jennie will continue to "conquer" Korean music shows. She promises to compete for weekly trophies with her colleagues who are making comebacks at the same time such as SEVENTEEN, ITZY or soon to be aespa, ILLIT. Jennie's digital music achievements in Korea are also extremely stable.

As of the morning of October 16, Mantra returned to #1 Bugs, #4 MelOn, #4 Genie, #6 FLO. Being in the top 5 of MelOn - the most popular digital music platform in the land of kimchi shows that the public loves Mantra even though this is not a song written in Korean. Jennie maintains her position in the domestic market, worthy of the title "Korea's No. 1 it girl".

With the momentum, fans expect Jennie to soon reach #1 on all iChart charts, after the music shows promoting Mantra air.

But, this is really a challenge for Jennie and BLINKs, when in Korea there is currently a female idol who is at the top of digital music. On October 15, Karina - the leader of the female group aespa surpassed Jennie, pushing her down to the top 2 on the Bugs chart to officially win the Realtime All-Kill (topping 4 digital music charts in the iChart system in real time) for the solo song UP.

It is worth mentioning that Karina did not even promote this song. UP is one of the 4 solo songs of aespa members, which was performed during the recent SYNK: PARALLEL LINE concert tour. Before the comeback with the mini album Whiplash, SM decided to release the official digital music for these songs. UP climbed the digital music charts rapidly, topping the charts in Korea on its own strength, showing that Karina's influence is currently unmatched.

This achievement is extremely meaningful to aespa fans, as Karina brought home the Realtime All-Kill record right before the group's comeback. Since the "supernova explosion" Supernova, aespa has regained the No. 1 position in Kpop gen 4. The group has occupied the digital music throne for the past months. They promise to "sweep" once again with a new album.

Recently, aespa's Whiplash concept photos became a hit because they were so unique, new, and creative. aespa seemed to be shining with a halo, both their visuals and performance abilities were on the rise, gaining a huge fan base this year.

Therefore, Karina is considered by the public as Jennie's challenge. Netizens are extremely excited about the competition between the two hottest female idols at the moment. Jennie - with her global influence, can she win over her juniors in Korea? This is a question that many people are waiting for the answer. The day aespa comeback is getting closer, Karina is still holding the top spot on MelOn, Jennie is really in a difficult position if she wants to climb to the top 1.

While dominating the spotlight with her new musical achievements, Karina caused a stir when she "collaborated" with her senior Hoshi from the million-selling boy group SEVENTEEN in the dance challenge video Love, Money, Fame. The relationship between Karina and Hoshi developed from filming a reality show together. The two promoted SEVENTEEN's new song together, making people excited.

SEVENTEEN is also one of Jennie's "rivals" competing for the weekly cup in the coming time. The advantage of record album sales and being undefeated in Kpop will help SEVENTEEN easily win the cup. The female rapper of BLACKPINK once "confronted" both aespa and SEVENTEEN, this is really an interesting battle.

However, it is undeniable that after 7 years under the management of a large company, Jennie and BLACKPINK have established a throne that is difficult for anyone to replace. But here, Jennie's creativity is limited, group products are few, and solos are even rarer. Therefore, when the female idol announced that she would release her first album after establishing her own company Oddatelier, the whole world waited.

Everyone believes that, not limited to just one album, Mantra is the single that is tasked with paving the way for Jennie's entire independent career.

Jennie was banned from Korea's biggest TV station because of a song, and immediately responded.
