Jennie

Jennie is honestly one of those artists where you can just feel the star power radiating off her before she even opens her mouth. Growing up in Gangnam — arguably Seoul's most high-octane neighborhood — then bouncing to New Zealand as a kid, then clawing her way through YG Entertainment's notoriously brutal trainee system, she earned every bit of that "human Chanel" nickname the internet gave her. As the first member of BLACKPINK to drop a solo, her 2018 single "Solo" went absolutely nuclear, and watching her balance rapper, vocalist, and runway model simultaneously is genuinely impressive. The fact that she received a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 2023 — a Korean idol getting a British honor — still feels surreal in the best possible way. She's only in her late twenties and already feels iconic. I'm curious where she takes it from here.
