Jennie of BLACKPINK secured two major wins at the 23rd Korean Music Awards, reaffirming her status as a leading solo force in K-pop.
On February 26, Jennie took home Best K-pop Album for her first full-length solo album Ruby. The project, which she personally participated in producing, showcases her artistic identity and explores multiple genres, highlighting her expanded musical spectrum as a solo artist.
Her title track "like JENNIE" also won Best K-pop Song, earning recognition for both musicality and mainstream appeal.
A Defining Moment for 'Ruby'
Ruby had already drawn critical attention prior to the ceremony, with Jennie receiving nominations in five categories, including Musician of the Year and Album of the Year. The double win solidifies the album's impact within the industry.
Often referred to as the "Korean Grammys," the Korean Music Awards honor artistic achievement and creative diversity in South Korea's music scene. Jennie's two-trophy night marks another milestone in her evolving solo career.
