  "account": "Seoul - BLACKPINK member Jennie has shared how she finds inspiration in all aspects of life, including film, fashion, art, music, and her travels. Speaking to Interview magazine, the 30-year-old singer revealed that ideas for her solo music often come to her naturally, staying in her mind until they align with her desired expression. For her highly anticipated 2025 album, Ruby, Shakespeare's \"As You Like It\" played a significant role in shaping the album's atmosphere and themes. Jennie emphasized her preference for letting these influences organically integrate into her work, rather than predetermined references. As she continues to explore new musical styles and emotions, she feels increasingly confident in trusting her instincts and expressing a more vulnerable side through tracks like \"FALLEN ANGEL\" and \"Less Than a Lover.\" Beyond her music career, Jennie expressed her openness to pursuing diverse projects that resonate with her, signaling her commitment to continually evolve and explore uncharted territories in her professional journey.",
