South Korean singer and Blackpink member Jennie released her first solo album, Ruby, on Friday.
The K-pop star, 29, also released a music video for “Like Jennie,” the second track on the album. Advertisement
The video shows Jennie floating inside a spacecraft, wearing a crimson red space suit. She reaches for a red pill that floats toward her. When she takes it, her eyes change colors and she begins spinning.
The clip then shows Jennie in a large group, dancing as the music begins. In the end, the singer appears to turn into a capybara.
