As soon as photos and videos from the concert surfaced online, fans lost their minds. Seeing top-tier celebrities attending in droves to support Jennie only solidified her status as Korea’s ultimate “It Girl”.
One fan excitedly tweeted, “She’s inviting the whole of Korea at this point.” Another wrote, “She’s literally Korea’s favorite.” The energy on social media was electric, with posts highlighting how Jennie has effortlessly bridged generations of idols, actors, and industry insiders.
Others pointed out the stark contrast between celebrity concert culture in South Korea and the U.S.. Unlike Western events, where stars often sit in VIP sections guarded by heavy security, many K-pop idols and actors were seen enjoying Jennie’s concert among regular fans. A user noted, “Fan culture is so different here vs. America because when celebs in the U.S. attend concerts, they need 15 levels of security. Here, they just sit freely among fans.”
Perhaps the most hilarious reaction came from a fan who jokingly observed, “I think her concert had more idols than MAMA”, referencing the Mnet Asian Music Awards, known for hosting dozens of K-pop stars each year.
Jennie’s Solo Album Ruby Shatters Records Worldwide
Before The Ruby Experience became the must-attend event for K-pop’s elite, Jennie’s first full-length solo album, Ruby, was already making waves. Released on March 7, 2025, the album immediately topped major music charts worldwide, further proving her dominance as a solo artist.
Her listening party in Seoul, hosted by Zico, gave select fans an exclusive preview of the album. Even though Jennie wasn’t present at global listening parties, her music alone was enough to fill venues with thousands of fans across different cities.
Following the album’s release, all 15 tracks charted on Apple Music’s Daily Worldwide Music Chart, making Jennie the only K-pop soloist to achieve this milestone. Additionally, nine tracks landed on Apple Music’s Top 100 Daily Music Chart, solidifying her album’s global impact.

Unlike typical solo tours, Jennie’s The Ruby Experience carried a deeper purpose. Her Los Angeles concert, which kicked off the tour, wasn’t just a celebration of her new album—it also raised funds for wildfire relief efforts, showing her commitment to giving back.
The three-city tour then continued to New York on March 10, 2025, before wrapping up in Seoul on March 15. Despite being a limited-run event, The Ruby Experience created an impact bigger than most full-fledged world tours.
Jennie’s ability to draw such high-profile attendees, shatter music records, and maintain an unparalleled level of influence proves why she remains one of the most powerful figures in K-pop today.
