BLACKPINK Jennie Opens Up About the Raw Reality of Being a Singer: 'I didn't want to rap...'

During a recent appearance on the BBC podcast "Dua Lipa: At Your Service" on July 14, with British pop star Dua Lipa, Jennie bared her soul in an unexpected revelation.

She disclosed that she was initially hired to rap due to her English proficiency when she was a trainee but then suffered burnout at that time.

While she was deeply immersed in rapping at the time, the pressures and demands of the industry took a toll on her after her debut.

"After my debut, I did about six songs where I only rap, and I became increasingly confused. The more I explored, the more I realized that I loved singing with my voice."

Jennie further reveals that during her trainee days, she was instructed to focus on being a rapper, leaving her limited opportunities to explore other musical avenues.

There were moments when she did not want to rap, as she felt it wasn't the path, she had envisioned for herself. This internal struggle led to burnout and questioning her true identity as an artist.

“Actually, when I was a trainee, I was told I had to be a rapper, but I didn't have a chance to delve into it. So there were times when I didn't want to rap. I didn't think it was the path I had imagined. That's why burnout came."
