So, like you said I’ve gotten into the whole idea of rapping because of the language that I was working with and that’s how I started. Back when I was a trainee, I thought this is what I’m, what I was supposed to do.

I got so into it and by the time we debuted, in my head, I’m thinking, I’m a rapper. Like, in my head, I’m gonna go out there and rap my ass off.

So there was a phase where I would hate to rap. I was like this isn’t me, this isn’t the Jennie that I envisioned in my head, I don’t think I’m a rapper. So there was definitely a burnout season.”

She continues, explaining that she took a while off to actually take into consideration her profession and work out what she needed. Ultimately, she noticed that she does get pleasure from rapping as one other a part of herself.

After taking some time off of work and listening to music in general, and then I actually looked back to the videos that I performed and when I was doing lives, to like actually see myself like enjoying rapping on stage and that’s the moment where I accepted the fact that, that is a part of me.”
