Global artist Jennie is set to hold her first-ever photo exhibition, offering an intimate look at her most candid moments at the age of 25. All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated in full.
Titled [JENNIE PHOTO EXHIBITION ‘J2NNI5’], the exhibition will run from January 16 to January 29 for approximately two weeks at Youthquake in Jongno-gu, Seoul. Alongside the exhibition, a limited-edition photobook will also be released worldwide, with only 3,000 copies available.
Jennie’s first photo exhibition captures fragments of her most authentic self, discovered in unintentional, unfiltered moments. The exhibition showcases previously unreleased photographs of Jennie at 25, taken by renowned Korean photographers Hong Jang Hyun, Shin Sun Hye, and Mok Jung Wook.
Notably, the exhibition opens on Jennie’s birthday, adding special significance to the project. From the photobook’s publication to the exhibition’s overall planning and execution, Jennie was directly involved in every stage, allowing her personal sensibilities and artistic vision to be fully reflected throughout the project. Encompassing the exhibition, photobook, and merchandise, the project is expected to naturally share Jennie’s journey, emotions, and growth over time with fans.
Rather than following the format of a conventional photo exhibition, 'J2NNI5' is designed as a continuous flow through creatively curated spaces. Visitors will move through each floor, encountering Jennie’s most honest moments at 25, free from rigid concepts or intentional narratives. The exhibition concludes with a behind-the-scenes interview video in which Jennie personally shares stories from the production process of both the exhibition and the photobook, further enhancing the immersive experience.
The limited photobook, restricted to one copy per person, documents one full year of Jennie’s life at 25 across more than 50 diverse concepts. Spanning a total of 692 pages, it includes works shown in the exhibition as well as additional unreleased photographs, making it a highly collectible item. First-edition purchasers will also receive a limited certificate of authenticity and a bookmark. To commemorate the exhibition, 15 types of official merchandise will be released, including puzzles, scented candles, a 2026 calendar and planner, hoodies, and other lifestyle items. Purchasers of the photobook will receive a random bookmark as a special gift.
In addition to the Seoul exhibition, a pop-up event in collaboration with Daikanyama Tsutaya Books will be held simultaneously in Tokyo, featuring a selection of exhibition content and merchandise. The collaboration coincides with BLACKPINK’s Tokyo concert schedule, drawing strong interest from local fans and further demonstrating Jennie’s global influence.
