Inside BLACKPINK Jennie’s Wellness Rituals: Cold Plunge, Pilates, and More
Jennie of BLACKPINK Inspires a Wellness Wave with Her Daily Routine
BLACKPINK’s Jennie is more than just a chart-topping K-pop icon—she’s a global trendsetter in self-care and holistic health. Her wellness habits have once again stirred conversation following a recent episode of “I Live Alone” (MBC), where South Korean broadcaster Jun Hyun-moo attempted to replicate Jennie’s cold plunge routine.
Cold plunge—immersion into ice-cold water—has become a popular recovery method among athletes and celebrities worldwide, including Jennie, Lady Gaga, Son Heung-min, Jo Gyu-sung, and Hwang Hee-chan. Jun Hyun-moo braved an ice bath for 2 minutes and 30 seconds, describing the sensation as “every cell awakening” and “like receiving a new body.”
Research by Professor Robert Douglas Howson suggests cold water immersion reduces muscle inflammation and soreness, accelerates lactic acid removal, and boosts circulation by contracting and expanding blood vessels.
Beauty From Youth: Her Mother’s Role in Jennie’s Skin & Hair Routine
During her appearance on “You Quiz on the Block” (tvN), Jennie shared that her wellness journey began in childhood with her mother’s insistence on drying her hair completely and applying essence before playing. “I’m so grateful now,” she said while reflecting on the early discipline that formed her beauty habits.
Training Like a Pop Star
Preparing for intense performances like her 50-minute Coachella set, Jennie revealed she struggled with stamina but overcame it through relentless practice. “It felt like fighting myself,” she recalled, running and singing through setlists and seeking therapy when needed to push past her limits.
Discipline Meets Diet: From Intermittent Fasting to Superfoods
While she has a healthy appetite, Jennie turns to intermittent fasting during active periods—eating nutrient-dense meals over 8 hours and drinking only water or caffeine-free tea during the 16-hour fast. Her mornings often begin with Greek yogurt mixed with honey and granola, avocado salads, and a weekly detox juice to flush out toxins. She also limits salt intake to prevent bloating.
Building Strength with Pilates and Flying Yoga
Jennie’s workout of choice? Pilates. Fans were impressed when she posted a photo on Instagram mastering an advanced pose on a Cadillac Pilates machine. Though also an adept equestrian, Jennie favors Pilates and flying yoga for her regular fitness regimen.
Behind the glamor of BLACKPINK’s success lies a story of profound self-discipline, balance, and intentional health choices—Jennie’s lifestyle proves that beauty and strength are cultivated daily.
