Jennie Ruby Jane, member of the world-renowned K-pop group BLACKPINK, has achieved another major milestone as the music video for her hit song ‘Like Jennie’ surpassed 100 million views on YouTube. Released on March 7th as the title track of her first full-length solo album ‘Ruby’, the MV reached the remarkable view count on June 9th at approximately 3:50 AM KST.

This feat marks the first K-pop music video released in 2024 to surpass 100 million views, further highlighting Jennie’s impact as a solo powerhouse on the global stage. She now holds two solo MVs with over 100 million views, following the 2023 success of ‘Mantra.’

Not only has Jennie been breaking view count records—last year, her debut solo song ‘SOLO’ became the first MV by a female K-pop soloist to exceed 1 billion views on YouTube. Her latest hit, ‘Like Jennie,’ also performed strongly on global music charts, entering the Billboard Hot 100 chart three times and securing a spot for two consecutive weeks.

In South Korea, Jennie made history as the first female solo artist in 2024 to top Melon’s Daily and TOP100 charts simultaneously with ‘Like Jennie’. On Spotify, the world’s largest music streaming platform, the song has amassed over 200 million streams—another testament to its global appeal.

‘Like Jennie’ stands out not just musically but lyrically, as Jennie played a notable role in crafting its lyrics and composition. The empowering track encourages confidence and individuality, underlining her message of staying true to oneself in the face of societal expectations. The music video visually echoes this narrative, showcasing Jennie’s struggle against false narratives and her path to self-discovery.

In one memorable scene, Jennie transforms into a capybara, symbolizing her return to authenticity and purity after shedding layers of artificiality. This creative visual reinforces her core message: there’s only one Jennie, and no one can take her place.

With ‘Like Jennie’, Jennie Ruby Jane proves once again that she isn’t just a member of BLACKPINK—she is a solo star redefining what it means to be a global pop icon.
