Jennie, gearing up for the release of her first solo album “Ruby,” hosted a special listening party in Seoul on February 27. Held at Hyundai Card Music Library, the event allowed fans to experience all 15 tracks from the album ahead of its official release.
The party was split into two sessions, each with surprise guests: Zico and Yeo Jin-goo, who acted as MCs. Together with Jennie, they discussed the making of the album, its concept, and shared insights with the fans.
Explaining the meaning behind naming her first solo album “Ruby,” Jennie shared, “I wanted to become an artist who could open and close the curtains of my own show. In that process, I thought about the red curtains of a theater, and after some reflection, I decided on the concept of Ruby. I wanted to infuse my identity into this first solo album.”
Jennie continued, “The goal of this album is to show that I can do it on my own. If my fans continue to support me, I won’t be afraid. I hope they listen to the album and think, ‘This is Jennie’s taste.'”
During the event, Jennie answered fan-submitted questions, including why she decided to do “The Ruby Experience” shows. She explained that she wanted to share the album’s tracks with fans quickly and experience the emotions together in person. The shows will feature all the tracks from “Ruby” and will take place in Los Angeles, New York, and Seoul.
As the event drew to a close, Jennie expressed her gratitude, saying, “Although there is still a week left, I’m so happy and thankful that the time has come to share this album with you. I hope you all feel happy, and I will continue to bring you good music.”
The “Ruby” album will officially be released on March 7, and the “Ruby Experience” shows will begin in Los Angeles on March 6-7, followed by performances in New York on March 10 and Seoul on March 15.
