Episode notes

Jennie was once so paralyzed by shyness that she could not say her own name at her YG audition, yet she became the CEO of her own label and one of the most followed Koreans on Instagram. Sent alone to study in New Zealand at nine, she rejected a safe path toward Florida law school to chase music instead.
