Confirming this decision, both JTBC insiders and representatives from Jennie's agency expressed that she won't be gracing the screens of "My Name is Gabriel" anytime soon. Despite receiving an offer, Jennie has opted to steer clear of variety shows for the foreseeable future.

"My Name is Gabriel," helmed by the acclaimed PD Kim Tae Ho renowned for his work on the immensely popular MBC program "Infinite Challenge," promises a unique premise. The show revolves around its cast immersing themselves in the lives of individuals abroad. While JTBC had already unveiled a star-studded lineup including Ji Chang Wook, Park Bo Gum, Yeom Hye Ran, Park Myung Soo, and Hong Jin Kyung on March 11, Jennie's involvement remained uncertain.


Set to commence filming in early March, "My Name is Gabriel" is slated for a grand premiere in June, promising audiences an intriguing blend of entertainment and cultural exploration.

BLACKPINK, a South Korean girl group managed by YG Entertainment , debuted on August 8, 2016, with their single album "Square One". Comprising Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa, the group's lead singles, "Whistle" and "Boombayah", quickly soared to the top of the "Billboard" World Digital Songs chart, setting a record for the most-viewed debut music video by a Korean act. Since their debut, BLACKPINK has consistently dominated both domestic and international charts, securing spots on the "Billboard" Hot 100 and "Billboard" 200, as well as "Billboard"'s Emerging Artists chart. Their success has been further underscored by numerous awards, sold-out stadium tours worldwide, and recognition as one of Korea's most influential celebrities in 2019 by "Forbes" Korea Power Celebrity.
