While the South Korean idol uses her name in the song, the message is meant for everyone. Revealing how alone time helped her grow, the singer told Elle Korea, 'I learned and felt so many things while preparing for this solo full-length album Ruby. I felt that I had become a little stronger as I continued to bump into things and go through trial and error to increase the level of perfection. Since the other members also went through their own journeys and came back, we understood each other more deeply and became a more flexible and mature team. I think this promotion will be really special for me and the members." What Did Jennie Mean By Her Song Title 'Like Jennie'? Discussing more about Like Jennie, the BLACKPINK star mentioned, 'In like JENNIE, JENNIE is just a pronoun. I made this song to convey the message that anyone who names themselves can love themselves and shine in their own way, and it was only used because my name is JENNIE. I hope that everyone who sings this song will have that same feeling. I gained confidence while singing this song. It's a song that resonates positively, that even though the path I've walked so far has been difficult, I'm going in the right direction, and that I'm doing well." Where Are BLACKPINK Members Now? BLACKPINK members Jisoo, Jennie, Rose and Lisa are currently on their DEADLINE world tour. The tour began in Seoul and has taken them to many major cities like Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, Paris, London and Toronto.
