⏮ Before Debut
Jennie moved to New Zealand at around age 9 for schooling and developed strong English skills. She returned to South Korea in her early teens and began training at YG Entertainment around 2010, making her one of the longest-training BLACKPINK members (approximately 6 years). During her trainee period she was known internally at YG for both rap and vocal ability, an unusual combination. She appeared in G-Dragon's 'That XX' music video in 2012 as a minor appearance, years before her official debut.
