BLACKPINK's Jennie revealed stories of her childhood and talked about studying abroad at the age of 10.

Jennie appeared as a special guest on the new episode of the tvN talk show 'You Quiz on the Block' that aired on May 7. During the episode, Jennie expressed affection for her mother and shared how her mother had sent her to study abroad at a young age.

Yoo Jae Suk brought up the topic of Jennie's mother by commenting, "You became emotional and said 'Mom I love you' while singing 'Starlight' during your performance at Coachella." Jennie responded, "I really promised myself I wouldn't cry. But it was the last song, and my mom was watching, so I screamed 'Waah.' That's the only performance I can't watch because I'm crying so hard."

As the follow-up question, Yoo Jae Suk asked why Jennie decided to write the lyrics, "I just wanna make my mama prouder." Jennie responded, "My job is very glamorous, and I have to be in the public eye. There was a hard time I went through when I felt overwhelmed and couldn't bear the pressure. During that time, I asked myself, 'What is my dream? What do I want to do?' I came to the conclusion that I want to live happily with my mom and make her proud. There isn't something I need to chase. So I slid that in there."

Yoo Jae Suk revealed that Jennie's mother had also cried at that moment and explained, "I heard your mother cried watching. Did you get to talk to her after?" Jennie shared, "I saw through the videos. She patted my back, telling me I did well. I think she felt worried for me. I thought my mom would be excited, but she just said 'You did well, you worked hard' and took a photo. Then she disappeared when I came back after fixing my makeup."

When asked about her mother, Jennie shared that she is an ordinary person and they have an ordinary mother-daughter relationship. Jennie explained, "My mom told me not to talk about her today. She's gotten a lot of attention because I said, 'Mom, I love you on stage.' We are a very ordinary mother and daughter. She told me 'Jennie, talk about yourself today."

But Jennie revealed that her mother was the one who decided to send Jennie to study abroad. Yoo Jae Suk then mentioned how Jennie was sent to New Zealand to study abroad. He asked, "You went to study alone in New Zealand at 10. Your mother just sent you?" Jennie explained, "After I became an adult, we talked about this a lot. I think my mother wanted me to experience a broader world."

When Yoo Jae Suk asked, "Did you have relatives there?"  and added, "Usually, you are sent overseas later in your teens." She continued explaining, "I did a homestay. You have to learn a new language when you're young. My mother stayed with me for the first two months. I don't remember, but she said she stayed with me for two months. She told me when she called me, I told her I can't talk on the phone because I have to play."

Jennie jokingly added, "I think I knew, even though I was young, that if I stayed in Korea, I would have to study a lot." She then shared, "At first, I was sad to separate from my mom, but later it wasn't bad. Being overseas suited me well."

When Yoo Jae Suk asked what suited her well, Jennie shared, "In (New Zealand) school, we were given two hours to play outside after studying one hour. I studied cooking, the arts, and there were a lot of studies in nature. I liked playing in the grass ever since I was young. So I felt, this was the most perfectly suited place for me."
