Kim Jennie, known simply as Jennie, is a South Korean singer, dancer, actress, and member of BLACKPINK (블랙핑크). She dropped out of high school.

In 2010, she joined YG Entertainment (YG엔터테인먼트) as a trainee after passing its auditions and moving back to South Korea after living in New Zealand for several years. The company had planned a 7-member girl group, but after several years of intense competition, the new group was formed with only 4 members.

Prior to her debut, she appeared as a featured artist in singles by G-Dragon and Lee Hi, among others.

She made her debut in August 2016 as BLACKPINK's main rapper and lead vocalist with the mini album "Square One".

In November 2018, she made her debut as a solo artist with the single "Solo".

In November 2023, she was invested by King Charles III as an Honorary Member of the Order of the British Empire (MBE), alongside her bandmates, during a special ceremony at Buckingham Palace. The following month, YG announced that all 4 members renewed their contracts and the company would only handle their group activities. She also decided to create her own label, Odd Atelier (오드 아틀리에), to manage her individual activities.

She made her acting debut under her English name, Jennie Ruby Jane, in the 2023 HBO television series "The Idol".
