BLACKPINK Jennie earns 24 billion KRW in settlements just two years after founding her entertainment company

BLACKPINK's Jennie reportedly received over 20 billion KRW in settlement payments over the past two years through the entertainment company she founded. These settlements consisted of income from her concerts, advertisements, appearance fees, and other individual activities. By securing a more favorable settlement structure compared to the typical ones under other entertainment agencies, the amount of profit returning directly to her appeared to have increased significantly.

According to the Financial Supervisory Service on the 9th, OA Entertainment paid Jennie 9.5 billion KRW last year as a settlement. Combined with the 14.3 billion KRW paid in 2024, her total settlement earnings over two years reached 23.8 billion KRW.

In November 2023, Jennie established her own one-person agency, OA Entertainment, to manager her individual activities. OA stands for ODD ATELIER, refering to a space for creating new things that garner attention. Jennie owns 100% of the company's shares, while her mother, Park Nana, serves as CEO.

Thanks to Jennie's active career, OA Entertainment reportedly became profitable immediately after its establishment and has maintained a stable financial structure. In 2024, effectively its first full year of operation, the company recorded 18.9 billion KRW in revenue and 580 million KRW in operating profit. In 2025, the revenue increased by 26% year-on-year to 23.8 billion KRW, while the operating profit decreased by 33% to 390 million KRW.

It was also revealed that, in addition to receiving large settlements from the company, Jennie also personally supported the company's operating funds. OA Entertainment's shareholder loans stood at 2.86 billion KRW at the end of last year, more than eight times higher than the previous year. Although the company posted net profits, its operationg cash flow was negative, which means the loans were intended to cover operating expenses and timing gaps in settlement payments.

Jennie is not the only artist to establish an entertainment company and receive settlements in the tens of billions of KRW. A representative example is PSY, who founded P NATION. According to P NATION's audit report, the company paid PSY approximately 17 billion KRW in settlement last year. This large sum is believed coming from major revenue generated through events like his 'Summer Swag' concert series. Additionally, former TVXQ member Kim Jaejoong also established iNKODE Entertainment in 2023 to manage his personal activities and has since expanded to train new artists as well.

An entertainment industry official explained, "In the past, agencies mainly took on the investment and risk while sharing profits with artists. Recently, more artists with established recognition and fandoms are creating their own corporations and promoting independently. For top artists, operating through an independent company is advantageous in terms of profit distribution structure."

BLACKPINK's Jisoo, Jenie, Rosé, and Lisa each attended the 2026 Met Gala held on May 4 (local time) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

This marked the first time all four members of BLACKPINK attended the Met Gala together, with Jisoo attending for the first time. Each member appeared individually, capturing the spotlight while showcasing unique presence. Their fashion and concepts did not overlap at all, with each highlighting their own distinct charm.

Jennie chose a tube-top dress covered in aqua-colored sequins. Her sleek updo hairtsyle accentuated her shoulder line, drawing even more attention to the dress and sillhouette.

Rosé worse a simple black dress with a deep slit and a large bird-like accent piece. With her signature long blonde hair flow down, she added a touch of glamour with a bold necklace.

Lisa opted for an all-white sheer dress. She captured attention with faux arms holding up a massive veil, creating an experimental and dramatic atmosphere.

Jisoo stunned in a fairy-like pink dress that showed off her smooth shoulders and back line. The shimmering multicolored pink dress, added with flowing floral decorations, maximized the romantic mood.

The Met Gala, which began in 1948, is the world's largest fashion charity event. It is famous for having top stars showcasing fashion that fits each year's theme and dress code. The event is held annually on the first Monday of May. This year's theme was 'Costume Art,' with the dress code 'Fashion is Art.'

Singer WOODZ revealed that he has been friends with BLACKPINK Jennie for 11 years.

On the 29th, a video titled 'Why bother date with JENNIE' was posted on WOODZ's Youtube channel.

WOODZ introduced Jennie by saying, "We've actually been friends for a very long time. This is the first time we're greeting everyone in one frame."

He recalled their first meeting, "It's been well over 10 years since we've known each other. Back in high school, Jennie was already very famous as a trainee. I happened to see her at a school festival and said hello. Later, we became trainees at the same company and would run into each other. I think it's been 11 years since we became close."

He added, "We even went to the same elementary school. Everyone was curious about how we became friends." Jennie agreed, saying, "We have a deep connection."

The two also had a fashion battle, styling each other with outfits they picked. Jennie ended up winning.

Jennie said, "I'm really happy we got to meet like this. Thanks to you, I got to go out on such a beautiful day and do some shopping. It put me in a great mood. I feel like I'm leaving with good energy." WOODZ replied, "I asked you on such a short notice. Thank you for agreeing to come," and Jennie jokingly responded, "Next time I call you, you'd better come running immediately," creating a warm and friendly atmosphere.

BLACKPINK's Jennie caught attention after revealing a photo of herself with actress Go Younjung.

Recently, Jennie posted several photos on her social media taken while attending the Chanel 2026–27 Fall/Winter women’s collection show held in Paris, France.

In the released photos, Jennie's fashion stood out. She paired a black bralette with a sheer, see-through top decorated with beads, creating a bold yet sophisticated look.

She added a skirt made of the same material to highlight Chanel’s signature glamorous details and completed the charismatic vibe with an updo hairstyle and bold makeup. Meanwhile, her green nail polish served as a stylish accent.

Jennie also shared photos with several celebrities she met at the Chanel show, including a photo of her posing closely with their faces together with Go Younjung, drawing attention. Go Younjung also attended the show and showed her presence there.

The two looked at the camera while resting their chins on their hands, creating a natural atmosphere. The two, both born in 1996, caught attention with their distinct facial features and radiant visuals.

The reason Jennie announced a lawsuit for the first time

SOURCE: 제니가 처음으로 고소 공지 하게 된 이유

Since a lot of people seem curious, I'll just organize everything at once… It’s a summary post, so I'll use some line breaks.

First of all, today’s legal notice is her first official individual lawsuit in 10 years. During her time at YG Entertainemnt, there were only 2 legal notices covering all YG artists (2018 and 2021). Occasionally, they would release articles denying the rumors or announcing they would take legal actions if the rumors were extremely serious.

Since Jennie's personal company OA was established in November 2023, there hasn't even been a dedicated email for reporting legal issues. Until now, fans have been sending reports to the only official contact email the company provided.

The bottom line here is a dedicated email for legal complaints was created for the first time todayㅠ

Right now, fake news claiming that Jennie is an active supporter of Israel is spreading uncontrollably overseas.

1. A post claiming that Jennie donated to Israel received about 42,000 likes (and is still increasing)

2. Targeting foreigners who don't understand Korean, they fabricated a video of Jennie eating and buying bread (a vlog from 5 years agoㅋㅋ) by mistranslating it to look like an interview supporting Israel.

3. Creating AI-generated images claiming Jennie posted support for Israel on her Instagram Stories recently. This also has tens of thousands of likes and RTs.

4. Even in South Korea, tweets spreading these claims have around 30,000 likes...ㅎ

(Disclaimer: Jennie has been an Adidas Global Ambassador since 2018, about 9 years now)

There are countless posts claiming that Bella Hadid, who supports Palestine, was removed as an Adidas ambassador and replaced by BLACKPINK's Jennie, suggesting that celebrities who support Palestine are being ostracized and even kicked out from the industry.

What I listed here is only a very small portion out of tens of thousands of tweets out there... The impact overseas is so huge that OA probably couldn't just sit back and watch fabricated claims related to international politics.

Resellers persistently stalking + forcing Jennie to sign things, followed by videos spreading online calling Jennie arrogant because of it.

Another big issue right now is that Jennie is currently in Paris to attend the Chanel show. There have always been so many resellers following her around in Paris, even when she's just walking.

Last year, there was an incident where people cursing at her, saying things like, 'Do you hate us? Bitch,' when Jennie looked uncomfortable.

And today it happened again.

Look at that stack of photocards the resellers are shoving at her, asking her to sign on themㅋㅋㅋ The pile is huge and every single one is just like money for them. They keep asking her for more autographs, saying that they were her fans... Even after receiving one, they continue handing out more for her to sign.

Jennie, who couldn't hold it anymore, for the first time said directly, 'Can I have some time to myself today?' and 'This is very stressful for me'... (As a fan, this is my first time seeing Jennie speak this firmly)

In the end, she signed everything... But they kept chasing her on motorcycles, asking for more autographs (because they want to resell them). If she doesn't do it, they insult and mock her. Even Jennie's manager, who was with her, said, 'If she signs it, aren't you just going to sell it anyway?'ㅠ But she still ended up singing.

Yet she still gets hate for it. People are saying, 'How can she be so rude to her fans?'ㅋㅋ

+When she signed the photocards, some people even accused her of avoiding touching a Black person. There were tweets saying 'Jennie = Racist' with tens of thousands of likes and RTs...

Anyway, these things happened, and I'm really glad Jennie is finally doing a proper lawsuit after 10 years. Congratulations, Jennie. Fighting.

The lawsuit email is: protect@oddatelier.net

COMMENTS: 

-The harassment Jennie and BLACKPINK experience is seriously extreme. I hope they properly sue them...

-I wonder if she can also sue the foreigners... They've been harassing her forever.

-That is insane... Protect Jennie at all costs.

-Please stop harassing Jennie.

-Whoa... These people are not in their right minds. This is giving me goosebumps.

-Whoa... These people are crazy. I hope she would sue every single one, even those foreigners.

-Whoa... That's basically a crime. Lawsuit is not enough, she should report them as criminals.

-I feel so bad for Jennie... The fact that she still ended up signing everything is really heartbreaking.

-I'm getting so f*cking stressed just by reading this postㅠ

-It must be frustrating for her. Since they're foreigners, suing them might be difficult.

"Jennie-ya, thank you" 100 million KRW donation that moved Sean ... She even added her own money to the profits

SOURCE: "제니야 고마워" 션도 감동시킨 1억 기부…수익금에 사비까지 보탰다 [DA:이슈]

On the 24th, Sean posted on his Instagram, "BLACKPINK's Jennie combined the profits from her photo exhibition 'J2NNI5' held in January along with additional money from her pocket to the Briquette Bank through the 'Raising Korea's Temperature by 1 Degree' campaign that I run to help elderly people in need of briquettes."

Sean explained, "With 100 million KRW, we can buy 112,000 briquettes, which can help 560 families to stay warm for one month during the cold winter. For some people, briquettes are not a choice but a necessity to survive the winter." He added, "Jennie-ya, thank you for making Korea a little warmer!"

Sean drew attention as he revealed the certificate of sponsorship. The certificate showed that the 100 million KRW was donated under Jennie's real name, Kim Jennie.

Previously, Jennie held her first photo exhibition from the 16th to the 29th of last month to celebrate her 30th birthday. For this exhibition, she personally participated in all aspects of the project, from publishing the photo book to planning the display. She had also promised to donate all profits from ticket sales. By making this donation, she kept her promise and added her own money, making the story even more heartwarming.

Meanwhile, BLACKPINK will release their third album, Deadline, on the 27th at 2 PM (KST).

BLACKPINK Jennie purchases 20 billion KRW building in Yongsan

SOURCE: [단독] 블랙핑크 제니, '200억' 용산 건물 샀다

It has been lately confirmed that BLACKPINK Jennie purchased a building near Hannam New Town for 20 billion KRW.

On the 11th, according to investment banking (IB) and real estate sources, Jennie bought a building located in Dongbinggo-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul for 20 billion KRW last May and completed the ownership transfer in December of the same year. Since there are no loans recorded on the property, it is assumed that she paid the full amount in cash.

The building, completed in 1970, is located in the northern part of Dongbinggo-dong, an area densely populated with foreign embassies. This specific building was previously used as the Embassy of Iraq in South Korea. It is reported that the property has now been vacated. The land area is 595㎡, with a total floor area of 551.08㎡, consisting of one basement level and two above-ground floors. The price per pyeong is approximately 111 million won.

The Dongbinggo-dong area chosen by Jennie is seeing active development alongside the nearby Hannam New Town redevelopment project and the creation of Yongsan Park. Redevelopment of Hannam District 5 is already moving forward the south. Also, the former U.S. military transportation site is being developed into a luxury residential complex. Along with the UN Command site under development and the Camp Kim site planned for development, is is considered as one of the three major returned U.S. military sites.

Meanwhile, Jennie, who is actively promoting both as a group member and a solo artist, is being labeled 'young and rich; for her bold real estate investments. Last year, she reportedly rented an entire new building in Hannam-dong as the headquarters for her one-person agency, 'ODD ATELIER (OA),' with monthly rent reported to be over 60 million KRW. In 2023, she also purchased a luxury villa in UN Village for 5 billion KRW entirely in cash.

-I saw a video of her on Instagram before this. Her hairstyle and makeup didn't suit her, but you know... I guess you just can't be perfect every time.

-The outfit looks very plain. It doesn't look like Chanel at all.

-Emo Jennie...

-I don't know much about fashion, but is the pajama-style look a luxury trend this year??

-The makeup looks so freaking weird... Jennie looks beautiful, though.

-She looks so f*cking pretty. It suits her really well, though?? I think she's going with the messy girl look here.

-I personally think she looks so f*cking prettyㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Did Chanel get a new designer this time? The whole collection looks off this time...

-Oh... This kind of style is coming back again.

-Why is she wearing a pajama?

-Huh... This can't be the best her team could do. Why did they style such a beautiful person like that...?

-The outfit's nice, but I think she would've looked way prettier if she had her usual hairstyle.

-Is pajama style trending now? Rosé wore something that looked like that too.

-I'm not a fan of this look... Give us the pretty Jennie back.

-If Jennie had just changed her hairstyle, it wouldn't have looked so much like lingerie. Or maybe that was intentional?

-They all looked strange, except for Lisa. Why did their stylists give them those outfits? Their hairstyles and makeup weren't great either.

-Jennie actually looked pretty in the video. The smokey makeup really suited her.

-Everyone except Lisa looked strange. They either look like a waiter or look like in their underwear.

Hidden lyrics in Jennie’s album that only certain people can hear

'Twin,' the last side-track in Jennie's 'Ruby' album

'Twin' is a song about the memories of a precious friendship from the past, and regrets and longing for the situation that now has become distant. Jennie revealed in an interview that it was written for one person. 

As soon as this song was released, fans speculated that it might be about Melody Day's Chahee, who was Jennie's best friend since middle school.

(The two were best friends who were always together during schedules and breaks. However, there have been no sightings or photos of them together in recent years)

Chahee liked a comment from a fan saying this song is for her.

Around 03:03, there's a repeated 'Twin, Twin, Twin'. However, if you listen closely to this part, it sounds more like 'Swin, Swim, Twin'.'

Why suddenly 'Swim'?

Chahee's real name = Park Sooyoung = Swim...

Jennie loves to surprise people around her.

Could she have planted this Easter egg in the song so that only her friend would notice...?

I don't know what happened between the two, but I hope that one day, as Jennie wishes, everything will be fixed and they will reconcile again!

theqoo

-This sounds too much like a baseless speculation.

-I don't think it's just speculation.

-Just pretend like you don't know, you guys. It's very nosy of y'all to speculate about someone's relationship like this.

-This is so absurd... It just comes off funny to meㅋㅋㅋ

-There must be a reason why Jennie hasn't revealed it herself. Why do people talk about it so confidently like it's a fact?

-Honestly, it really does sound like 'Swim.' Maybe this is true.

-I love this song. It reminds me of my old friends.

-How were they so close since middle school?

-Even though I' not a fan of Jennie, I find this story is really touching!!!!

-Just listen to the songㅋㅋㅋ She definitely says 'Swim.'

-I really like this songㅠㅠㅠ I didn't know it had this kind of backstory.

-It sounds like they just drifted apart, not had a fight.

-Since Chahee liked that comment, it doesn't seem like they drifted apart for bad reasons....ㅠ

-I love that this song is so personal to Jennie.

-I don't know much about their friendship, but I'm cheering for them ㅠㅠ
