Slow Motion was not the only highlight of Jennie’s year. Earlier in 2024, she also made her solo debut with Mantra, a track that has received praise for its bold, unapologetic lyrics and energetic beat. The song, which is part of Jennie’s upcoming album, has ranked high on music charts, cementing her position as a solo artist outside of BLACKPINK.
In 2025, fans can expect Jennie to return to group activities with BLACKPINK, but for now, her solo ventures are keeping her in the spotlight.
