BLACKPINK's Jennie has been in the news again recently, regarding a misunderstanding regarding the mention of the name of the fandom or fan club. On Thursday September 19, 2024, Jennie released a short voice message through her agency's official website, OddAtelier.
In the message, the idol calls her fans 'Rubies.' "Hi, Rubies! It's Jennie. Stay tuned for more updates, and see you later. I love you guys, Bye," Jennie said in her voice message, as quoted from Soompi . The way Jennie calls her fans 'Rubies' has certainly made many speculate that the idol might name her fandom 'Rubies.'
However, the name 'Rubies' is also similar to the official fandom name of solo singer Kwon Eun Bi called 'RUBI.' This certainly raises questions from a number of parties regarding fandom names that are similar to each other. The similarity of fandom names is certainly a very sensitive thing among fans.
To the point of triggering disputes. Not a few groups have changed the name of the fandom that has been announced, after fans of other artists said that the name has become their official fandom name. Responding to this issue, the agency that oversees Jennie, OddAtelier immediately gave their clarification.
They moved quickly to minimize misunderstandings among fans. In the official statement uploaded, they said that 'Rubies' is not the official fandom name for Jennie's fans. "Jennie only uses the nickname 'Rubies' to share news with her fans. The name is also not her official fandom name," OA Entertainment emphasized .
Meanwhile, BLACKPINK's Jennie has previously registered a trademark for her real name 'Jennie Ruby Jane' in English. On the other hand, Jennie is also reportedly preparing for her solo comeback, which is planned to be released in October 2024.
News of Jennie's solo comeback was announced along with the signing of a contract with major American record label, Columbia Records. This will be Jennie's first solo comeback under the agency she founded herself, after she left YG Entertainment.
