JENNIE has just dropped her brand-new track, “ZEN,” and let’s just say, the internet is not okay. The 29-year-old K-pop queen decided to serve us a whole bop with the subtlety of a fireworks show at midnight. She gave fans a countdown mere hours before dropping the track—because why not keep us all teetering on the edge of chaos?
And then the lyrics hit:
“Nobody gon’ move my soul, gon’ move my aura, my matter / Nobody gon’ move my life, gon’ touch my goal, my matter / Nobody gon’, all this power make them scatter / No, nobody gon’ touch my soul, gon’ match my flow, like damn.”
Yes, Jennie said, “Like damn,” and honestly, same. This anthem feels like the musical equivalent of sipping matcha in a soundproof room while haters yell outside.
The song blessed us all on Friday night (January 24), just days after Jennie casually dropped the bombshell announcement of her debut solo album. Talk about a one-two punch! She didn’t just stop there, though—she’s also giving us a front-row seat to The Jennie Show.
Earlier the same day, the BLACKPINK star announced three live performances for The Ruby Experience—a name that sounds as luxe as a velvet-lined jewelry box. She promised these shows would be “intense and intimate as I like it,” which is Jennie-speak for, “Prepare your wigs, because they’re about to fly.” The dates are set for Los Angeles (March 6), New York City (March 10), and Seoul (March 15). If you’re not near one of these cities, well… start manifesting teleportation.
For now, we’ve got ZEN, its vibey music video, and an unshakable urge to feel “intense and intimate” energy in our lives. So go watch, listen, and prepare to chant “like damn” in solidarity with the aura queen herself.
What’s next? A Jennie perfume line? A guided meditation app? World domination? Who knows. Stay tuned—and stay ZEN.
