BLACKPINK‘s Jennie was the latest guest on Dua Lipa‘s Dua Lip: At Your Service podcast, where the two talked about her life and career.
During the interview, Jennie discusses her time as a trainee, first talking about all the techniques and dance styles she learned and how they helped her find what she was good at.
“I’ve never really said this anywhere, but I’ve wanted to. It’s something to do with me rapping. So, like you said I’ve gotten into the whole idea of rapping because of the language that I was working with and that’s how I started. Back when I was a trainee, I thought this is what I’m, what I was supposed to do.
I got so into it and by the time we debuted, in my head, I’m thinking, I’m a rapper. Like, in my head, I’m gonna go out there and rap my ass off.
But the strange part was, like how you said before about finding your identity as a trainee too, we did like six songs where I would just rap like seriously rap. And along the way I kind of got confused.”
Jennie then says that because of this internal conflict, she actually grew to hate rapping during part of her career.
