Jennie (BLACKPINK) lost face when participating in the most watched show in Korea

Despite being introduced with the appearance of Jennie - the top female Kpop star of the group BlackPink, the show My name is Gabriel is still among the lowest rated and least watched shows in Korea. Many people think that Jennie has really failed.

According to Nielsen Korea, episode 12 of My Name Is Gabriel, which aired on September 20, only achieved a viewership rating of 1.2% among paying households nationwide. Despite Dex being a rising star in the entertainment industry, My Name Is Gabriel still suffered from low viewership ratings. The show attracted attention as a new program by PD Kim Tae Ho, with an all-star cast including Park Myung Soo, Park Bo Gum, Hong Jin Kyung, Ji Chang Wook, and Yeom Hye Ran. However, the show's ratings continued to fluctuate around 1%, with a high of 1.5% and a low of 0.9%.

BlackPink's Jennie will soon join the cast. Many are curious if her appearance will help the show improve its ratings. Jennie initially declined an offer to appear on My Name is Gabriel, but she recently confirmed her participation. Her segments will air on episode 13 on September 27 and episode 14 on October 4.

Viewers are particularly interested in Jennie's experience of living someone else's life on the other side of the world, where no one knows her. She will try her hand at living a new life as a 1996-born innkeeper, from welcoming guests to cooking and preparing for events, bringing a unique charm to the show.

My Name Is Gabriel is an observational reality show in which a contestant spends 72 hours as one of the 8 billion people in the world under a name that no one knows. The show airs every Friday at 10:30 p.m. on JTBC.

Jennie will appear in 2 episodes of the reality show My Name Is Gabriel. The female idol will play the role of Maria and experience the life of a hostel owner for 72 hours: from welcoming guests, preparing parties to leading cooking classes.

In the latest video posted by Disney Korea, Jennie attracted attention when appearing with a bright appearance and a simple bare face, a "pretty and lovely" outfit that made fans exclaim. It can be seen that no matter the situation, the female member of BlackPink always stands out, full of vitality even though she only wears simple clothes in the Italian countryside.

For 72 hours, Jennie will take on Maria's daily duties, running the hostel and interacting with the locals. The show will see the idol do everything herself, from welcoming guests to cooking, preparing parties and even leading cooking classes. Jennie will have to use all her skills and adaptability to overcome the challenge. The show will give fans a rare opportunity to see Jennie from a completely different perspective, away from the glamorous spotlight.

In the excerpts teased by the producer, Jennie leisurely strolls the streets, living a simple life in an unknown place. The female idol makes fans excited when showing off her housework skills, she has to roll up her sleeves to do everything herself from cooking, baking, to harvesting vegetables. My name is Gabriel is the second reality show that Jennie has participated in since starting her solo career and establishing her own company. Before that, she participated in Apartment 404.

In terms of music, in early September, Jennie's management company ODDATALIER (OA) announced her signing with the famous record label Columbia Records as a solo artist. This excited many fans of the female idol as this was the first time Jennie had "something" for her solo career, since the special single You & Me last year.
