“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.
Now, Jennie takes pride in how far she has come. “The fact that I’ve moved on from that phase and being so committed to myself, I’m very proud,” she expressed.
