On October 12, BLACKPINK member Jennie took to her Instagram and posted two stories, one in English and the other in Korean. In the English post, she mentioned, “Instagram is currently not functional on my device. Please bear with me, as I have so much to share.”
She expressed her gratitude, saying, “Thank you all for the overwhelming love for ‘Mantra’,” before pleading, “Please resolve my ig issues” and tagging Instagram’s official account, accompanied by several crying emojis.
Jennie’s unexpected trouble accessing her account sparked concerns about a possible hack, particularly given the prevalence of Instagram hacks involving celebrities.
Moreover, this situation brought back memories of previous dating rumors between Jennie and BTS’s V that surfaced following a suspected hack.
On a brighter note, Jennie made waves recently with her latest single, “Mantra,” which was launched globally on October 11 at 9 AM KST. By the next day, it soared to the top of prominent music charts, including Korea’s Bugs and iTunes ‘Top Song’ rankings across 47 nations, including the U.S., Brazil, Singapore, the Philippines, and Mexico.
The track “Mantra” is characterized by its powerful energy and inspires listeners to shine with their unique identities while promoting themes of self-love and community support, all while highlighting Jennie’s signature style and charisma.
With “Mantra,” Jennie made history as the first female K-pop solo artist to clinch the top spot on the U.S. iTunes “Top Song” chart this year. The accompanying music video also achieved the number one position on YouTube’s trending lists in both Korea and the U.S., going on to dominate the global trending charts, signifying the great anticipation surrounding her solo return.
In other news, a recent report from British analytics company Hopper HQ disclosed its “2024 Instagram Rich List,” which reveals the earnings of global celebrities per Instagram post. Jennie ranks 36th on this list, with her estimated earnings reaching up to $511,000 USD (approximately 686 million KRW) per post.
