“I’m so proud of myself for designing that life from an early age,” she adds. She didn’t follow any specific idols but does cite one icon she wants to emulate moving forward. “Rihanna will always be my biggest dream in terms of how much influence she has over pop culture and also music culture and art itself,” she reveals. “She’s so inspiring for me. To find that for myself would be a dream.” (Jennie pauses to drop a reminder that she’s available for more acting roles: “I’m bilingual, and to act in my second language does teach you a lot of things. If anyone is looking for this, I’m here.”)
