On March 9th KST, the YouTube channel "Yojung Jae Hyung" shared an intriguing new video titled “A Story About Jennie That’s Never Been Told Before.” The video captures a special moment when BLACKPINK’s Jennie paid a visit to renowned musician Jung Jae Hyung's home and surprised him with a luxurious gift symbolizing her solo career kickoff.

During the cozy get-together, Jennie presented Jung Jae Hyung with a stunning glass, stating modestly, “It’s nothing much, but I brought you a gift.” Their conversation unveiled a glimpse into Jennie’s recent struggles with health and her busy schedule. When Jung Jae Hyung inquired about her well-being, she responded, “I’m sorry. I was actually going to reach out,” to which he assured her, “There’s nothing to apologize for.”

Jennie explained the whirlwind of preparations surrounding the release of her first solo album, “Ruby.” She said, “I just arrived today. Since it’s my first time releasing a solo album under my own label, everything has been hectic.” Jung Jae Hyung expressed surprise, asking, “You arrived today after being so unwell?” Jennie continued, “Yes. And since my schedule kept getting packed, everything got tangled up and pushed back. But I’ve been pushing forward.”

As the evening progressed, Jung Jae Hyung brought out a bottle of whiskey, and Jennie enthusiastically proposed, “I’d love for you to enjoy it with the glass I brought today.” She expressed the thoughtfulness behind her choice of gift, saying, “I didn’t want to come empty-handed, so I thought about what to bring. Since I wanted you to remember me, I chose Ruby.”

Upon receiving the exquisite glass, Jung Jae Hyung was genuinely impressed, exclaiming, “I’ve been looking for a red glass like this because I thought it was so beautiful. It’s truly stunning.” Jennie added with a smile, “I thought it would pair perfectly with whiskey.”

The designer glass set, valued at approximately 1 million KRW (around $690 USD), is a testament to Jennie’s taste and the special connection she shares with Jung Jae Hyung. Interestingly enough, Jung Jae Hyung already owned glassware from the same luxury brand, highlighting their shared appreciation for exquisite craftsmanship.
