Returning as a solo artist, Jennie is steadfastly walking her own path in light of exposure controversies.
On the 10th, Jennie posted several photos on her Instagram account with messages like "N Pop Like Jennie is out now" and "R U B Y." To celebrate the release of her first solo studio album 'RUBY' on the 7th, she generously threw gifts for her fans.
In the photos, Jennie showcases her radiant beauty and shines as a solo artist. The combination of a bright red ruby necklace and a velvet outfit is pure sexiness. She exudes both sporty and sexy charisma that delights viewers.
However, she boldly posted an outfit that sparked mixed reactions among fans. The daring outfit, which ties at the chest and exposes her hip bones, steals the spotlight. While fans had divided responses, Jennie herself appears satisfied.
Previously, some of the stage outfits from Jennie's 'The Ruby Experience' concert in Los Angeles raised issues. Jennie wore a white sheer jumpsuit that was cut down to the navel; bending over revealed her cleavage, leaving viewers in awe.
The bottom wear is also excessively short, resembling underwear. Speculation about no bra and no pad led online communities to heat up. While international fans were excited, some fans who missed Jennie's image during her BLACKPINK days expressed disappointment.
Since it is her first solo album released worldwide on the 7th, Jennie put significant effort into this comeback. She included 15 songs of various genres in the 'RUBY' album, which features the title track 'like JENNIE,' and likely wanted to showcase a product of her growth as she took on the album production herself.
However, the performance on music charts is disappointing at 2%. Although 'Ruby' topped the real-time chart of Bugs, a domestic music site, and the iTunes 'Top Album' chart in 21 countries/regions including the Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore, its performance on Melon, the largest domestic music site, is outside the top 10.
So far, Jennie has attracted more attention due to the exposure controversy rather than album performance.
