BLACKPINK's Jennie shared behind-the-scenes stories from Coachella.
On the 7th, Jennie appeared as a guest on tvN's ‘You Quiz on the Block’.
On that day, Yoo Jae-suk said, "We had been trying to contact Jennie for a while, and then we received a message from her side saying it would be great to join after Coachella." Jennie explained, "I had been aiming for Coachella since January last year. The preparation time was longer than I expected. I had a plan leading up to Coachella, so I thought we could fill the conversation after everything was done."
When Yoo Jae-suk admired, "There’s even a term 'Jencella' combining Jennie and Coachella, it was really amazing," Jennie replied, "I think I felt a sense of relief for the first time in my life. I feel relieved. I thought I wouldn't have to see eggs for a while," and laughed.
Yoo Jae-suk asked, "How many times have you watched the Coachella video?" Jennie said, "Honestly, I watched it fully about once or twice. After that, it kept popping up on my phone. I kept going back to it," she joked. She continued, "I usually don’t monitor much. I tend to overthink, so I thought if I monitored, I would get caught up in small details, so I live with the mindset of 'let's look at the bigger picture,' but I watched Coachella a bit. It’s not that it was perfect, but it was because I was so sincere in what I did. It’s embarrassing, but," she boasted.
During her last song 'Starlight', Jennie shouted "I love you, mom," drawing attention. Regarding this, Jennie said, "I really promised myself not to cry. But since it was the last song and my mom was watching, I just burst out. So I can't watch that video. I was wailing."
When asked about the reason for the lyrics "I just want to make my mom prouder," Jennie explained, "My work is very glamorous and there’s a lot that’s visible, but it’s really hard, and I often blame myself and feel overwhelmed. When I think, 'What is my dream? Why am I doing this?' I just want to live happily with my mom and be a proud daughter, reminding myself that I don’t need to chase after anything. I added it lightly."
When Yoo Jae-suk mentioned, "I heard your mother cried offstage," Jennie replied, "I confirmed that through the video. I must have looked too pitiful. I thought my mom would be excited, but she just said, 'You worked hard' and took a picture before leaving. I guess she had another schedule. When I came out after fixing my makeup, she was gone," which made everyone laugh.
She continued, "I unintentionally said 'I love you, mom,' and many people saw it. It was packaged so beautifully. We are just an ordinary mother and daughter, but we received so much attention. I was told, 'Talk about Jennie today,'" she said.
