“It’s a fight between me, myself, and I — I’m not easy to convince,” Jennie admitted, adding that her solo work required her to confront her inner self. She reflected on a time when she struggled to love herself, feeling lost and unsure of her purpose. “I didn’t know who I was. I didn’t know what I was living for,” she said.
