BLACKPINK Jennie Tells Crew Her Limit on HotOnes as Tears, Laughter, and Spice Take Over
BLACKPINK Jennie tells crew “I warned you” as she bursts into tears during the infamous HotOnes challenge a moment that quickly went viral and captured the rawest, most human side of the K-pop star. Known for her cool confidence and stage power, Jennie walked into the show dressed in white, all smiles and ready for the heat. But just a few wings in, the singer was leaping off her seat, fanning her face, and begging for help. She joked she might now be allergic to spice and declared Jisoo should’ve taken the seat instead.
While Jennie started the segment saying she didn’t even like spicy food, she confidently bit into the wings with a sly smile. The confidence didn’t last. Her nose started running, her voice shook, and at one point she stared into the distance as the heat overwhelmed her. Yet even through the chaos, she powered on crying, laughing, and giving some of her most personal takes to date.
From Shakespeare to Starlight The Stories Behind Jennie’s Solo Era
Behind the spice, the tears, and the gasps, BLACKPINK Jennie tells crew and host Sean Evans how her latest solo album RUBY drew inspiration from Shakespeare. The album’s narrative was broken into seven parts, reflecting the seven years she’s spent in BLACKPINK. According to Jennie, each part symbolizes a stage in her emotional journey — from her passion for music, to moments when she felt distant from it, and how she rediscovered her voice through raw honesty.
She admitted she fought hard for the album’s artistic message, refusing to compromise her vision for mass appeal. Songs like Zen and Starlight weren’t instant earworms, but Jennie believed they would find the hearts they were meant to reach. “We didn’t want to make it simple for people to like. We wanted it to be real,” she said. The music, she explained, wasn’t created for the charts it was created for healing, for meaning, and for truth.
Even more touching was her reaction to fans screaming B-side tracks at concerts. “It’s not even the main singles,” she said, “it’s the songs that never made it to the final cut. That’s how you know they really listen. They feel it.”
