00:00Hi, this is Jennie, and this is the WIRED Autocomplete Interview.
00:07This is the most I had to talk about myself.
00:11Wow.
00:17When did Jennie join BLACKPINK?
00:21I was always there.
00:23We put out our first single in 2016, August.
00:31So that's when BLACKPINK happened.
00:34When did Jennie move to New Zealand?
00:37I was nine, and I was there till 14.
00:41So five good years.
00:42See, I used to have a stronger accent, but it's completely gone.
00:46People don't ever guess that I'm from New Zealand anymore, which is sad.
00:50I think this is a New Zealand thing about me.
00:52I like Marmite jam.
00:54So me and Rosie were the only excited people when we were in a city,
01:00and they provide us with Vegemite or Marmite.
01:03When did Jennie release solo?
01:08Five years ago, I want to say.
01:10Six years ago, five years ago.
01:12I think five.
01:13My bet's on five.
01:14It feels like it was such a long time ago,
01:16because while preparing for Mantra,
01:19I looked back at the videos and photos of me from back in the solo days,
01:24and I was like, wow, I look so young and cute.
01:27It's definitely different working as a solo artist.
01:30I'm in the studio alone, first of all.
01:33When I was working on the group stuff,
01:35I talked a lot with the girls on if we all agree and relate to the song a lot,
01:40but now I have to make all of those decisions on my own.
01:43So I think that's the biggest difference that I have.
01:47Next, please.
01:50When did Jennie start singing?
01:55Professionally?
01:56Fourteen?
01:58But I was singing my whole life.
02:01I'm assuming I was singing as a kid, too, so.
02:04Jennie outfits stage.
02:08We like to change around our tour outfits a lot when we're on tour, especially,
02:14because we like to just match the vibe of the city that we're in.
02:18But I feel like my style is pretty open-minded.
02:22Why is Jennie Instagram JennieRubyJane?
02:28It's a name that I came up with when I was in school in New Zealand.
02:32I wanted a nice, long, pretty name like my friends,
02:36and then it just stuck with me.
02:38So it's like a name for me that I made for myself.
02:43How to dress like Jennie?
02:48I feel like everyone's killing it, though.
02:50Everyone already knows the answer to this.
02:53Next, please.
02:55I always wanted to do this.
02:58What is Jennie like?
03:01I am a very shy person.
03:03Even when I'm around my friends, I'm likely to be the quiet one.
03:08But I am very different from what you see on stage,
03:11so hopefully we get to know each other better.
03:14What is Jennie's favorite fruit?
03:17It changes all the time, actually.
03:20It used to be strawberries.
03:22Nowadays, I'm really into kiwis.
03:25What is Jennie's favorite song in BLACKPINK?
03:30This is always a tough one.
03:32I want to say Lovesick Girls right now.
03:35It changes all the time, but right now, it's Lovesick Girls.
03:38It has such cute, girly moments of BLACKPINK,
03:43and it's a rare type of vibe that we have on stage
03:46because we do a lot of stronger, charismatic things.
03:51What is Jennie's nickname?
03:55I have a lot of nicknames.
03:57I have Chendeukie. That's a Korean nickname.
03:59I have Nini. My friends call me Nini.
04:02It evolved from my original name, which is Jennie.
04:06What is Jennie doing now?
04:09I'm currently at the WIRED interview,
04:11but my single, Mantra, came out a few days ago, I think.
04:16So I'm very busy, being happy.
04:19I think making of this whole album
04:21was definitely a big step for me to grow as a solo artist.
04:26This specific song, Mantra, is, I think, a great opener.
04:31It's like a little bit of a tease moment of Jennie,
04:35I would say, into the album.
04:38Just Jennie.
04:40Who is Jennie's BLACKPINK best friend?
04:43I have lots of best friends. You guys are my best friends.
04:48How many piercings does Jennie have?
04:54So I used to have a lot of piercings as a teenager,
04:58but I got rid of it throughout the years,
05:00and I think I am left with four piercings on this year
05:06and two on this year.
05:08So, just on my ears.
05:10Does Jennie write songs?
05:15Indeed, I do.
05:17Yeah, hopefully you guys get to hear more of my songs
05:20when the album drops, so be excited.
05:26Jennie.
05:28Jennie dog.
05:31My dog is named Kuma.
05:33He's back home. He's with my mom right now.
05:36I miss him.
05:37He's the best-behaved dog ever.
05:39He loves me, though.
05:40I think I'm still, up to this day,
05:43his favorite human on earth,
05:46even though I don't get to see him as much as I did.
05:49But yeah, he's very happy to see me every time I see him.
05:55Final award, yay!
05:57Jennie.
05:59Jennie rap.
06:00Yes, I do rap.
06:04I love to rap.
06:06And you'll hear more in my album, too.
06:09Jennie.
06:12One of the girls.
06:14It is my most streamed song on Spotify.
06:20I'm so happy that it's doing great.
06:22Jennie.
06:24Capybara.
06:26I watched a Capybara video before I got here today.
06:29I know Capybara isn't the most well-known animals on earth,
06:34and I started to talk about them a lot
06:39because I get questions about what is my favorite animal,
06:42and I've always been attached to Capybara.
06:45Yeah, they probably just wanted to know what a Capybara is,
06:48but I think they are more trending nowadays.
06:52It makes me very proud.
06:54I shot a music video with one years ago for ice cream.
07:00That was one of the best day ever that I had.
07:04I need to go see one soon.
07:08Oh, Jennie.
07:10Jacquemus Runway.
07:12So I walked for the Jacquemus show in May in Capri,
07:17and it was my first time running on a runway.
07:20It was a very special occasion for me.
07:22I only have good memories from this day
07:25because I thought I'd be very nervous and anxious about it,
07:28but from the moment I arrived in Capri,
07:30I was just like, let me just have fun.
07:32That was also another proud moment of this year for me.
07:37Thankfully, I wasn't surprised by any of the questions.
07:39I think I had most of them in mind,
07:42so step it up, guys.
07:44Ask more interesting questions to Google about me.
07:47Thank you for having me, and I'll see you next time.
07:50Bye.
