In a glimpse of the commentary for My Name is Gabriel, PD Kim Tae-ho shared a memorable moment featuring Jennie. The show My Name is Gabriel follows former celebrities as they experience everyday life like regular people in different parts of the world. Contestants are given a new name and spend 72 hours living and interacting with locals.
Reflecting on a scene where she was enjoying gelato and relaxing on My Name Is Gabriel, PD Kim said that it was the most memorable part of the episode. Fans were surprised when the star said,
"Wow! How long has it been since I enjoyed this kind of freedom?"
Jennie Kim, one of South Korea's top singing talents, made her debut with BLACKPINK in August 2016. In a conversation on Dua Lipa's At Your Service podcast in 2023, she even reflected on her experience with rapping and the difficulties she encountered during her training period.

She highlighted the challenge of maintaining one's identity and individuality within the demanding training system, noting that many trainees who couldn't find this balance ended up losing their way. So when PD Kim Tae-ho brought up how caged she was, fans responded with empathy.
"This looks healing to both jennie and us who love her cant wait" said one fan.
"aww my baby u deserve to have ur alone time," said another fan.
"I know I stan the right girl. regardless of how rich she is, look how some free time with an ice cream in hand made her so happy. My sweet and grounded baby." commented another fan.
Fans expressed their love for the global icon, with some commenting about their joy that she got to do this episode.
"Jennie i love you," said one fan.
"In the past episodes, gabriels were asked what their dreams or what they want to do in the show, maybe this is what Jennie wanted. She want to feel the freedom like ordinary people. Maybe she also dreamed of living in a province. Experience a simple life." observed another user.
"This why I'm glad they did their best to convince her be on the show and giving her the entire episode alone," said another fan.
What is Jennie up to?
Jennie has officially signed with Columbia Records as a solo artist in collaboration with her entertainment company, ODDATELIER, according to an announcement made on September 8. She is also set to release a new solo single in October.
This news comes after the December announcement that all BLACKPINK members had parted ways with YG Entertainment for their solo careers, though they extended their contract with the label for group activities. Earlier in the year, the singer released two collaborative singles: SPOT! with ZICO and Slow Motion with Matt Champion.
She will also appear on My Name is Gabriel as Maria, the owner of an Italian farmhouse bed and breakfast. Her episodes, airing on September 27 and October 4, 2024, will offer fans a glimpse of the BLACKPINK star living a normal life abroad.
