Jennie has identified Rihanna as the kind of artist whose career she hopes to emulate. In a new interview, the BLACKPINK member explained that her admiration goes beyond music and includes Rihanna’s wider influence on fashion, business, and popular culture.
While discussing her long-term ambitions, Jennie said becoming a figure with that level of cultural impact would be a dream. She pointed to Rihanna as an example of someone who has built a distinct identity while moving confidently across several creative industries.
Jennie has followed a similar path on her own terms. Alongside her work with BLACKPINK, she has developed a solo music career and established a strong presence in fashion. Her first solo studio album, Ruby, gave her more room to explore her individual sound and creative direction.
