While JENNIE drew a particularly large crowd for her penultimate performance; packed with hits including “Dracula,” “like JENNIE,” “ExtraL” and “One of the Girls,” it was the weekend’s only proper solo pop star set, complete with flashy pyrotechnics, slick choreography and multilevel production design. If anything, it felt like an audition for a future arena tour of her own.

Her performance featured tracks from her 2025 album Ruby alongside several unreleased songs, giving fans an exciting glimpse of what’s next.

Between her fun but demanding choreography, commanding stage presence and live vocals, JENNIE proved why she remains one of K-pop’s most compelling performers. Her past releases established her star power — and her new music suggests she is only continuing to raise the bar.
