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.
The singer also remains committed to BLACKPINK as the members balance group activities with independent projects. Her comments reflect a broader goal: building a career that lasts beyond individual releases and allows her work to connect with audiences across music, style, and culture.
