Jennie Kim (Korean: 김제니; born January 16, 1996), known mononymously as Jennie, is a South Korean singer, rapper, songwriter, and actress.^[1] Born and raised in South Korea until 2004, Jennie later lived in New Zealand before returning to South Korea to successfully audition for YG Entertainment in 2010. She debuted as a member of Blackpink in August 2016. She made her acting debut under the stage name Jennie Ruby Jane in the 2023 HBO television series The Idol.

In November 2018, Jennie released her debut single "Solo", which topped South Korea's Circle Digital Chart and the US Billboard World Digital Songs chart. The music video for "Solo" was the first by a Korean female soloist to surpass one billion views on YouTube. Her 2023 singles "You & Me" and "One of the Girls" achieved commercial success worldwide, with "You & Me" reaching number one on the Billboard Global Excl. US chart. After establishing her own label named Odd Atelier in 2023, Jennie earned her second number-one single in South Korea with "Spot!" and signed with Columbia Records in 2024. Her debut studio album Ruby (2025) sold one million copies worldwide and tied as the highest-ranked album by a Korean solo artist on the UK Albums Chart. It spawned the Billboard Global 200 top-five hits "Mantra" and "Like Jennie"; the former broke the record for the highest-charting song by a Korean female soloist on the UK Singles Chart, while the latter became Jennie's third number-one single in South Korea.

Jennie has received several accolades throughout her career, including four MAMA Awards, a Circle Chart Music Award, a Golden Disc Award, and a Billboard Women in Music Award, and became the first Korean soloist to win at the latter award ceremony. The most-followed Korean individual on Instagram, Jennie is known for her musical versatility and fashion image, and has been dubbed the "Human Chanel", for which she currently serves as a global ambassador.
