Kapanlagi.com - Jennie BLACKPINK officially marks a new history in the world of K-pop with the release of her solo album titled Ruby. Not only did she release a debut album, but she also released seven music videos for various songs from the album. This marks a promotional approach that has never been done by K-pop artists before.
On Saturday (26/04/2025), Jennie launched the latest music video for the song Seoul City, a B-side track from the Ruby album. The video premiered through Jennie's official YouTube channel and social media.
Jennie's move breaks the long-standing habits of the K-pop music industry, where K-pop artists typically only release two to three music videos due to high production and promotion costs. Now, Jennie expands that standard with a bolder strategy. Here is a more detailed review.
