Jennie Confesses to Burnout “My body couldn‘t handle it, I was sick all the time and my immune system was weakened” (Yojung Jaehyung)

BLACKPINK’s Jennie confessed to being burnt out.

Jennie, who returned with her first solo full-length album ‘Ruby’ on the 7th, appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel ‘Yojung Jaehyung’, which was released on the 9th.

Jennie had a hard time due to poor condition ahead of the filming of ‘Yojung Jaehyung’. She revealed that she had schedules in London, Paris, and the US back to back over the course of three weeks and confessed, “I think my body burned out. Since then, I‘ve been taking vitamins and supplements well”.

Because she’s been so active overseas, she stayed in Korea for about three months last year. Jung Jaehyung responded, “I think my flight time is longer than that of the flight attendants. He worried about Jennie‘s health, saying, “Isn’t the plane my home?”

Jennie said, “The time difference has disappeared. When I‘m done with work, it’s time to sleep, and when I have a schedule the next day, I wake up.” She added, “My body couldn‘t handle it because I had to change countries to digest it. I learned this time.” She said, “I don’t know if it‘s fortunate, but I’m doing it because I‘ve done it more before with BLACKPINK. There were many times when we were incredibly busy when we were promoting BLACKPINK.” She confessed, “If an ordinary person only did a week’s worth, they would think, ‘This is enough,’ but I‘ve done it. It’s my first album, so I want to do it and I‘m digesting it, but I’m not healthy.”

Jennie coolly retorted to people who said, “I want to live like Jennie,” saying, “No way? Really, no way?” She said, “I also say that I only want to do this life. There‘s a lot to endure. Fortunately, I’m digesting it well, but it doesn‘t seem easy,” she said.

Jennie, who started her trainee life at 15 and debuted as a member of Blackpink at 21, confessed, “I came into society at a time when I didn’t know myself, so I worked without knowing what was good, bad, and good, so it was hard.” Then, she revealed that she had time to reflect on and take care of herself during the COVID-19 period, and she also started cold plunges (cold water baths) during the rehabilitation process. Jennie said that she was constantly sick and had a weak immune system, and said, “I feel renewed after overcoming the pain through cold plunges. My head becomes clearer and I sleep well. It feels like I‘m back to my original state after waking up my nerves.”
