A Polish Debut for Unreleased Tracks
JENNIE brought her solo headlining set to the Open’er Festival in Gdynia, Poland, on July 4, 2025. Over the course of her hour-long performance, the BLACKPINK member unveiled three previously unheard tracks: “Lock It Down,” “Heaven,” and “Less Than A Lover.” The move signals a clear signal that new music is imminent.
From Governors Ball to the Gdynia Stage
The setlist leaned heavily on her 2025 debut solo album, Ruby. Fans heard the full version of “Lock It Down,” a dance-pop track JENNIE had only previewed at Governors Ball last month.
Addressing the audience in Gdynia, JENNIE described “Less Than A Lover” as a “dreamy ballad” inspired by the summer season. She also performed “Heaven,” which she characterized as an emotionally-charged song centered on the theme of heartbreak. Notably, the performance avoided the BLACKPINK catalog entirely, focusing on her solo discography and collaborations.
A Record-Breaking Run on the Charts
JENNIE has been on one of the most sustained chart runs of any K-pop solo artist in Billboard history. Her collaboration with Tame Impala, “Dracula,” hit No. 1 on the Billboard Pop Airplay chart dated July 11, 2026, a first for both artists.
The track “Dracula” also peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, holding its position for 37 consecutive weeks as of mid-June 2026. Her debut album, Ruby, climbed to No. 7 on the Billboard 200 and produced five entries on the Hot 100, making her the first female K-pop solo artist to place three songs on the chart simultaneously. With six total appearances, JENNIE has the most Hot 100 entries of any female K-pop solo act. Ruby has surpassed 3 billion Spotify streams.
Closing Out the Open’er Festival
The Open’er Festival ended its four-day run in Gdynia with a diverse international lineup. JENNIE’s headlining set closed the final day, which also featured performances by Addison Rae, PinkPantheress, and Jade. The event was anchored by headline sets from Calvin Harris, Florence and the Machine, The Cure, and Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds.
