It was Jennie’s debut as a solo artist at Coachella 2025. Talking about it to the host of You Quiz on the Block, Yoo Jae-Suk, the BLACKPINK member said, “It was overwhelming. I went through an emotional rollercoaster. The pressure was so intense, it honestly felt like just staying alive was an achievement.” She further explained how she had been going through months of preparation for her performance and shared, “Since around last January, I had been working toward that goal. The preparation period felt longer than I expected. There was a plan leading all the way to Coachella, so I thought it would be better to do everything first and then appear here.”

When Jennie was asked what she did after returning to South Korea from the U.S., the idol-turned-actress revealed, “I really want to stay in Korea. I just rested at home and ate good food. I repeated those two things.” Upon asking what she craved the most to eat, Jen said, “A few days ago, I ordered six types of gimbap and ate them with ramyeon. It had been so long, and there are so many kinds of gimbap in Korea. I tried them all, but the tuna gimbap was the best.”
The idol further emphasized how she practiced for her 50-minute setlist, as stamina has always been a hurdle for her. She said, “Whenever I had time, I’d play the full 50-minute setlist and run while singing. If it didn’t work out, I’d get treatment and keep practicing. It was a battle with myself.” For those who don’t know, Jennie moved to New Zealand when she was 10 years old and lived alone for most of the time, but after five years abroad, she decided to come back to Korea and pursue her career in music. She decided to join YG Entertainment and followed the path that came in front of her.
