BLACKPINK’s Jennie marked her 30th birthday on January 16 by ushering in a new chapter of her life with a celebration that reflected her signature individuality.

On January 15 and 16, Jennie shared a series of photos and videos from her birthday party on her personal social media accounts, accompanied by the simple yet striking caption, “thirtyyyyyy.”

In the released content, Jennie is seen enjoying the festivities in a party space decorated with “HAPPY BIRTHDAY” balloons, holding a birthday cake adorned with the Cinnamoroll character. The moments captured ranged from her lighting candles and making a wish in front of a cake topped with the number “30,” to playful shots of her wearing sunglasses and flashing a cheerful expression, highlighting the many facets of her unique charm.

Dressed in a black tube-top dress, Jennie radiated warmth and loveliness with her bright smile, while also exuding a cool, mature aura as she gazed at the candlelight. Without excessive staging, she naturally embraced turning 30 in her own way, perfectly embodying this new stage of life.


Fans responded enthusiastically, leaving messages such as, “She even makes aging look so Jennie,” and “I’m already excited to see Jennie’s activities in her 30s,” sending heartfelt birthday wishes.

As she enters her 30s, Jennie is set to be more active than ever this year. She has recently drawn significant attention with news of her joining MBC’s upcoming variety show, 'The Secret Friends Club.'

Known for her strong variety sense and approachable persona on past entertainment programs, anticipation is building over what fresh and unexpected sides Jennie will reveal on Manito Club, with industry insiders closely watching her return to variety television.

Meanwhile, BLACKPINK has officially confirmed a full-group comeback on February 27. The new album is titled 'DEADLINE,' sharing its name with the world tour that began last July at Goyang Sports Complex, making history as the first K-pop girl group to headline the venue and currently continuing across the globe.

From her variety show comeback through 'The Secret Friends Club' to BLACKPINK’s highly anticipated full-group return, global fans are paying close attention to Jennie’s next moves as she embarks on this new beginning at 30, expanding her activities across multiple fields.
