Jenny Jencella Miracle to be alive, pride in being Korean



The group Blackpink Jenny recalled 'Miracle of Gencela'.

Jenny appeared as a guest on tvN 'You Quiz on the Block (hereinafter referred to as U Quiz)' which aired on the 7th.

Jenny recently became the first K-pop singer to perform on a mega stage at the 'Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival (hereinafter referred to as Coachella), the largest music festival in the United States, proving her powerful power as a solo artist.




Jenny says "I want to be in Korea so badly. I took a good rest at home and repeatedly ate delicious food. I ordered 6 rolls of gimbap by type and ate it with ramen. Tuna kimbap is the best."

Jenny says "'Coachella' is one of the biggest music festivals in the world. Over the course of two weeks, numerous artists gather. I felt for the first time in my life that I felt 'I feel refreshed'. 'Put down all your phones. Enjoy it. That's how I felt," he recalled.

Jenny rarely monitors, but confessed that she only monitored the full video twice because she was as sincere as 'Coachella'. However, the only part I skipped was singing the last song 'Starlight' and shouting 'Mom, I love you' and crying.

Jenny promised not to cry, but my mom was watching and (tears) came out. I was crying so much that I couldn't watch that video"There were times when I wondered what to do, even though my work was colorful and there were many things on the outside, but it was too hard and I couldn't stand the pressure. 'What's my dream. The lyrics remind me that when I think, 'What am I doing this because I want to do?' I'm just trying to live happily with my mother and Oson and become a proud daughter, but I don't have to follow anything. I checked (my mother crying below the stage) on the video. After the stage, my mother patted me on the back saying she had a hard time. I thought my mom would be excited, but I must have looked so sorry."

Jenny has been on the stage twice as a Blackpink, but this is the first time she has found 'Coachella' as a solo artist. He sang as many as 15 songs in a row for 50 minutes, turning 'Coachella' upside down. Jenny says "I'm not good at rehearsals. I felt that my physical strength was a wall, so I wanted to overcome it, so whenever I had time, I played the setlist and sang while running. If it didn't work, I got treatment. It was a fight against yourself"The burden was too much. The rollercoaster of emotions was so severe that it was amazing to be alive. I was scared of myself because the up-down was so bad."

It was the pride of being a Korean who was able to overcome the heavy burden. In fact, Jennie said about the outfits she wore in the music video 'Jen"Jen" is one of the music videos that she wanted to capture a lot of Korean culture. The reason is that I'm proud to be a Korean."
