BLACKPINK member Jennie made a rare return to a domestic year-end awards stage, creating a buzz the moment she appeared. Coming after a long break, her trophy acceptance carried raw, heartfelt emotion.
At the 2025 Melon Music Awards (MMA 2025) held on the 20th at Seoul's Gocheok Sky Dome, Jennie was called as the final winner of the 'Top 10'. With actor Shin Eun-soo presenting, Jennie stepped up in a pure-white dress, capturing attention with a calm yet elegant aura.
Jennie began, "Thank you so much for loving my music this year." She continued, "It's been a long time since I came to a Korean awards show, and thanks to my fans, I was able to receive this award. I'm so happy. I'll keep making good music as Jennie," expressing her gratitude to fans.
This win further cements Jennie's solo momentum. In March, she released her first full-length solo album 'Ruby', and with the title track 'like JENNIE', she swept music charts at home and abroad, drawing an explosive response from global listeners.
