Singer Jennie‘s ‘The Ruby Experience’ show was held on the 15th.
The show is controversial for being a cost-effective, money-addicted performance. Ticket prices ranged from the highest at 220,000 won to the lowest at 140,000 won, but the running time was 70 minutes. The performance venue was Incheon Inspire Arena, which takes 1 to 2 hours one way from Seoul, which is longer than Jennie’s show. Also, the show started 10 minutes later than expected because many invited celebrities took their seats. Fans are divided on the show‘s composition, saying things like ‘I paid for it myself, so why are these third parties making a fuss?’ ‘I’m not satisfied with the ticket price.’
The ‘The Ruby Experience’ show, which commemorated the release of her first solo full-length album ‘Ruby’, was a performance of all the songs included in ‘Ruby’ and Jennie‘s first solo concert in Korea. Jennie performed a total of 15 live performances of all the songs on the album.
Jennie opened the show with the first track of ‘Ruby’, ‘Intro: JANE with FKJ’ and ‘start a war’, and then performed ‘Handlebars’, ‘Mantra’, ‘Love Hangover’, ‘ZEN’, and ‘Damn Right’.
In particular, after the ‘Seoul City’ stage, the ‘Seoul City’ music video was released for the first time, drawing attention. With this, Jennie has released music videos for 7 out of the 15 songs included in ‘Ruby’.
After the title track ‘like JENNIE’, ‘with the IE (way up)’, and ‘ExtraL’ stages, Jennie greeted her fans and asked them to turn on the lights in the audience. Jennie made eye contact with each audience member and said, “It felt like a dream, but now that I’m greeting them face to face like this, it finally feels real. I learned a lot while preparing this album. “This album contains my honest self, so everything feels unfamiliar and like the first time,” she said.
Jennie, who fully felt the cheers of the audience, was moved to tears and said, “I promised I wouldn‘t cry, but it was hard to accept the endless love I received from so many people after releasing the album, but seeing it with my own eyes makes me so grateful and happy,” expressing her gratitude to her fans.
Jennie gave her final greetings after performing ‘F.TS’ and ‘Filter’, and when the audience chanted her name, Jennie returned to the stage and said, “I want to sincerely thank my fans, and I will always make good music and be a good person, so please continue to watch over me.” Jennie ended the show with ‘Starlight’ and ‘tWin’ as her encore stages.
