Hi, I'm Jennie, and you're watching Billboard.

Hi, I'm Tamar Herman here for Billboard and I'm here with Jennie. Hi, Jennie.

 

Jennie:

Hi, guys. Wait, where am I looking at? Here, hi.

 

Herman:

So how are you doing today?

 

Jennie:

I'm good, thank you.

 

Herman: 

So, you just released your song ‘Solo,’ and it's doing so well and so amazingly. So, tell me a little bit about how it feels to be the first BLACKPINK member to release your own solo song.

 

Jennie:

Well, there was definitely some pressure when I was starting, because I was representing myself and also BLACKPINK for the very first time. But I tried to enjoy the process, and it was just fun. Everything was fun. And my members have been very helpful for me. They've been encouraging from day one.

 

 

*for the first time

처음으로

Herman:

Oh, that's so nice.

 

Jennie:

Yeah.

 

Herman:

So, you know, the song itself is called ‘Solo.’ So what did you want people to take away from it?

 

Jennie:

Well, apart from the relationship status type of meaning, the song has a meaning of being true to yourself and being confident. So I hope the listeners can embrace the message and enjoy the song as much as I did.

 

Herman:

The song did extremely well. Went to number one on the World Digital Song Sales Chart for Billboard Charts in the U.S. So, how did that make you feel?

 

Jennie:

Well, when I first heard the news, I couldn't believe it. I was like, no way. I was very surprised that so many people around the world has actually listened to my song. And they were being very supportive, and they loved the song. I was so grateful, and I'm still very thankful.

Herman:

So, you know, there is all the visual elements to it, there's the performance element, and there's the song itself. So what was your favorite memory throughout this whole process?

 

Jennie:

Well, it was my very first time shooting a music video overseas, which was in London, my very first time. And we got to shoot in this really beautiful, a princess-like mansion, which I would like to live in one day. And the whole process was just like a movie. I felt like I was a movie character, and I was acting everything. The whole shooting in London was a great experience. It was very tight-scheduled, and I didn't really get to enjoy it too much. But after watching it through my music video, I'm like, I remember that.

 

Herman:

Hear that London, Jennie wants to visit. So, you know the song, it's called Solo. So, like when you're by yourself, what sort of things do you get up to?

 

Jennie:

It's actually very embarrassing. I don't do much when I'm on my own. I hang out with my dogs.

 

 

*on one's own

혼자서, 스스로

혼자 무엇을 할 때, 남의 도움 없이 스스로 무엇을 할 때 쓸 수 있는 표현입니다. one's 자리에는 my, his, her, their 등 주체의 소유격 형태를 넣어주시면 됩니다.

A: Do you need some help with it?

그거 좀 도와줄까?

괜찮아. 혼자서 할 수 있어.

 

I'm all on my own today.

오늘은 아무도 없이 혼자야.

Herman:

That's doing something.

Yeah. I like to just stay at home with my family. I eat something nice. Strawberries in season in Korea. So these days that's my go-to every day. And just relax, just rest from everything.

 

 

*go-to

자주 찾는 것

사물, 물건, 사람, 장소 등 자주 찾는 것에 쓸 수 있는 표현입니다. 예를 들어, 단골인 식당이 있다면 ‘That restaurant is my go-to.’ 라고 표현할 수 있습니다. 제니씨는 딸기를 자주 먹는다고 하여 go-to라고 표현했네요.

A: What are you listening to?

너 지금 뭐 들어?

B: A new song from BLACKPINK. It's my go-to these days.

블랙핑크 신곡이야. 요즘 자주 들어.

Do you want to say anything to the U.S. Billboard audience or anything?

 

Jennie:
