In a recent announcement, BLACKPINK's Jennie clarified the confusion surrounding her fandom name.
On the 19th, Jennie released a voice message through her agency's official channel, addressing her fans as "Ruby" and expressing her desire to reconnect soon. This sparked speculation that "Ruby" might be her official fandom name. The misunderstanding was heightened by the fact that fellow artist Kwon Eun-bi has also adopted "Ruby" as her fandom name.
In response to the buzz, a representative from Jennie's agency, OA Entertainment, stated to Xports News that the term used in the message was merely a reference to fans and not an official fandom name announcement. They emphasized that it was not formalized, indicating that Jennie was simply using a part of her English name, "Jennie Ruby Jane," to refer to her fans.
Additionally, Jennie has officially registered the trademark for "Jennie Ruby Jane." Fans eagerly await her upcoming solo single, scheduled for release in October, following her partnership with the prominent record label Columbia Records.
