Recently, the owner of the song Solo announced that she established a new brand and company in November 2023 called OA (ODD ATELIER). She shared about her new business venture on Instagram, thanking her fans for their continued support of her and BLACKPINK’s solo activities.

Although the website and information related to the brand are still confidential, the brand’s Instagram also posted a short status line about the brand’s vision and mission: “Founded in November 2023, OA stands for ODD ATELIER and the purpose is to create something new that attracts by uniqueness that is different from normal expectations.”
Through that, perhaps we can partly guess the meaning of Jennie’s brand name this time, why it is Odd Atelier (Odd Workshop). It can be seen that the female idol’s ambition is to create innovative products that do not follow any conventional principles. The fan community can look forward to the transformation of the female idol in a new role in the future.

Jennie entered the top 100, joining the BLACKPINK sisters in dominating the Spotify digital music chart
The song One of the girls featuring Jennie, The Weeknd & Lily-Rose Depp officially entered the Billboard top 100 this week after more than 6 months of release. This is the first time Jennie’s name has appeared on this chart as a solo artist.

Also today, the keyword # JENNIE RULES SPOTIFY (Jennie dominates Spotify) has reached the top trending on social network X/Twitter. The reason for this ranking climb is because the largest online music platform Spotify has just announced Jennie as the K-pop female solo artist with the highest number of monthly listeners in Spotify history with 28.7 million. Previously, Jennie also achieved an important milestone when reaching 1 billion streams on Spotify.

Not only Jennie, the 3 highest rankings in monthly listener statistics on Spotify of Kpop female singers also recorded Lisa (#2), Jisoo (#3), and Rosé (#4). This is an extremely remarkable achievement because only Jisoo has a widely promoted solo work this year, but all the old solo products as well as the other members’ collaborative works are still attracting heat. The evidence is that statistics, award ceremonies and music charts all have the presence of BLACKPINK members.
Fans are waiting for Jennie’s appearance in the new reality show in 2024
