Jennie (BLACKPINK) reveals a dark corner after leaving YG, acting strangely at the beginning of the year

According to Korean media reports, Blackpink's Jennie will be the first guest on Lee Hyori's music talk show.

After AKMU, Lee Hyori took over "The Seasons" with the music talk show "Lee Hyori's Red Carpet".

This is Lee Hyori's first comeback as a host in 10 years. Jennie will be her first guest to support Lee Hyori's return to the TV industry as an MC.

The show will premiere this Friday, Jan. 5.

Earlier, Blackpink's Jennie kicked off 2024 with new photos and raised expectations for her solo activities with her own agency.

On Jan. 1, she shared her gratitude on Instagram: "Thank you so much Blinks (fans) for the past year."

She continued, "I'm going to try to be even better next year. Let's all stay healthy and happy. Goodbye, my 2023."

Accompanying the message are many photos that highlight Jennie's charming charm. From posing elegantly in front of a Christmas tree to showing off her fashionable looks, Jennie easily won the hearts of many people.

As 2024 begins, Jennie announces her intention to embark on solo activities by starting her own company — OA.

She shared her excitement and gratitude, and invited fans to continue supporting her and Blackpink's new endeavors.

In late 2023, YG Entertainment confirmed that the BlackPink members only renewed their contracts with the company as a group, not reaching an individual operating agreement. Earlier, Jennie confirmed the creation of her own agency called ODDATELIER to support her in her work as a solo artist from 2024.

Although the new year has just begun, Jennie surprised fans with her packed schedule. The first is a new set of photos of the beauty born in 1996 for Hera and Coco Chanel is released.

Next, the beauty announced her participation in the variety show Apartment 404. In the trailer released on January 2, netizens were shown a flexible, youthful Jennie alongside other celebrities.

Not stopping there, on the same day, Korean media reported that Jennie will be the first guest of Lee Hyori's new music talk show, called Lee Hyori's Red Carpet. The program is scheduled to launch on Jan. 5. Not long after the announcement was made, paparazzi spotted Solo entering the KBS building, marking her first appearance on a national broadcaster other than a music event.

Jennie's busyness caused a stir in the online community. Online forums flooded with comments on the topic of YG Entertainment stifle idol growth.

Netizens wrote, "This is why YG has a problem. Why is she suddenly working so much as if rent is about to rise?", "YG held Jennie back so much that the Blinks thought she didn't want to appear on entertainment shows", "Noticed Jennie constantly appearing on variety shows, more campaigns and advertisements after leaving YG", "Jennie's signing up for all the shows and campaigns after starting her own agency proved how much YG held her back over the years. I'm glad she's finally free," "She, who was the least seen idol on a variety show, has now confirmed her participation in two shows at the same time on the first day of the year. This shows that leaving YG is a liberation", "Jennie finally escaped the dungeon after leaving YG" ...

Before that, YG was famous as the "laziest" entertainment company in Kpop because it often "soaked" artists. While the Korean music market is always active, new faces are constantly appearing, YG stars occasionally release new products that make the audience disgruntled.

In 2022-2023, BlackPink will raise their profile in the international market with their album Born Pink and a world tour. However, for fans, they have to languish waiting for 2 years. Especially in 2021, the group had no new songs.

In the first 7 years since their debut, BlackPink has only participated in a few variety shows such as Weekly Idol, Running Man, Knowing Brothers or Idol room...

Similarly, in August 2023, the AKMU duo will have a new product return after a two-year absence.

Others disappeared even longer, including Lee Hi. During her time under YG, she did not have any activities for three years from 2013 to 2016. Katie Kim caused a stir when she decided to leave the company in 2018 after 3 years together. The reason given by the winner of Kpop Star 4 was that the company did not release or appear in any music products during that time.
