The explosive comeback with the single ‘Mantra’ has seen Jennie ‘take over’ from Korea to international stages with impressive achievement metrics. Despite releasing English music with a clear global orientation, Jennie hasn’t forgotten that she is a K-pop idol. She is promoting simultaneously in her home country and the U.S. After the first live stage of ‘Mantra’ on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the performance on the music show M!Countdown also aired.
Here, Jennie won her first trophy for ‘Mantra.’ The spectacular victory against the formidable competitor Karina was celebrated enthusiastically by fans. Returning to domestic music shows after six years as a solo artist, Jennie brought many indescribable emotions.
Promoting in Korea, Jennie adjusted her outfit and choreography. She didn’t expose herself or shake her hips as boldly as Western artists. The stage for ‘Mantra’ on M!Countdown was still impressive, showcasing Jennie’s unmistakable idol charisma.
Jennie’s performance skills have been ‘certified’ over time, proving her status as the all-rounder icon of YG. Seeing Jennie return with her idol image, it becomes evident that she was born to be famous.
Jennie treated her fans to a visual feast with a youthful, dynamic look, using red as the dominant color. Notably, her makeup evoked memories of Jennie from her debut days, making fans restless. Jennie looks absolutely stunning in bright red lipstick.
The beauty standard of ‘Korea’s number one it girl’ only gets better, never worse. Her sleek black hair was accented with a ‘Mantra’ clip, bringing the audience back to the days when Jennie ‘swept’ the music scene with ‘SOLO.’
Placing Jennie from the ‘Mantra’ era next to Jennie from the ‘SOLO’ era, fans were astonished by the unchanged legendary aura over six years. The only difference is her maturity reflected in the demeanor of the BLACKPINK rapper. From the renowned ‘YG princess,’ in the blink of an eye, Jennie has now become a global star, more confident and radiant than ever.
Jennie’s impact is reflected in hundreds of hot topics across K-pop forums, all discussing her latest stage on M!Countdown. The video of Jennie’s performance quickly garnered over 2.5 million views and topped #1 trending on YouTube in Korea just one day after airing.
