ZEN is a frame of mind. Finding your inner peace, happiness and being able block out the negativity around you! It's about strength and not allowing others to define who you are or supposed to be! It's not just about being relaxed! This is where a lot of people misunderstand the real meaning of the word.
Exactly. And Jennie had SO much unwarranted hate for no reason throughout her career and this is her really visually showcasing how she is now in the zen frame of mind. That’s why her house looks so zen, and she does cold plunges all the time. She’s at peace with it all, but she’s also warning others of the fire and fierceness inside of her.
@@SheldonRoachford, excellent explanation. For the name of our fine reactors channel I guess I expected more apt observations, and so I was a bit surprised and a bit disappointed.
Also, she is always involved in all the creative designs for her stuff. She is SUPER involved because she’s very “her way” in her aesthetics. She also is incredibly creative and pragmatic too. We have the same personality type which is why she has been my fav since debut.
Zen is an intro song to her album "Ruby" coming out March 7th. There are two versions, "Zen" and "Jane". Jennie seems to have been on a Buddhist journey these past few years, she does cold plunges, has been delving into Mantras and she has been know to frequent a Buddhist temple in South Korea. For the video, there are a lot of symbols that go back to the philosphy of "Zen". The music video encapsulates her journey in parallel with themes central to Zen Buddhism, such as self-awareness, inner strength, and harmony with nature. Jennie is portrayed in various transformative states, each symbolizing different facets of existence and enlightenment. 1) The Owl: In Zen the owl represents hightened awareness & wisdom. She's using it to represent her spiritual growth and self-awareness. (The specific owl she uses is native to South Korea highlighting her heritage and the golden wing breast plate in the first scene comes from an ancient Korean dynasty that was heavily Buddhist) 2) The Lotus: Spiritual awakening, purity growth. her emergence from the lotus signifies rebirth and ascencion which relates to the Zen ideology of transcendence. The lotus also emerges from muddy waters to bloom --> goes back to lyrics "in the dark i grew". 3) The Four Elements: Fire (Transformation and Energy): Jennie is surrounded by flames signifies destruction and rebirth, aligning with Zen’s focus on transformation. Water (Adaptability and Emotion): The scenes where Jennie stands in water speak to emotional depth, cleansing, and adaptability, which are essential to Zen teachings. Air (Freedom and Intuition): Open skies and moments of her floating represent freedom and intuition, central themes in Zen meditation. Earth (Grounding and Growth): The rapper's serene presence among nature represents the grounding aspect of Zen, emphasizing stability and connection to the present. 4) The Different Eye Colors and the Evil Eye: The scene where she has one brown eye and one slightly blue refers to the balance between the physical and the spiritual. She also wears an evil eye necklace which goes back to the lyrics about protecting her aura and getting rid of negativity. 5) Rejecting materialism: The lyrics "Money cannot buy sixth sense" & focusing on inner peace as most important through the chorus as she tells us no one can touch her mind, matter or aura. The lyrics of "Zen" convey a message of self-confidence and resilience. Jennie emphasizes the importance of trusting herself and remaining steadfast in her goals, regardless of external attempts to undermine one's spirit. "Nobody gon’ move my soul, gon’ move my aura, my matter" highlight an unshakable self-assurance, resonating with Zen ideals of inner tranquility and self-mastery. The song also explores the concept of duality, acknowledging the coexistence of opposing forces within oneself and the journey toward integrating these aspects to achieve personal growth and enlightenment.
My fellow hosers, I’m a bit perturbed at your implied obfuscation of her very valid relationship with her inner peace. Her Zen. At least you enjoy the song. Thanks for your reactions.
This isn’t a comment. I know by writing it that it looks like a comment, reads like a comment, exists as a comment. But I declare this isn’t a comment. It’s not going to appear on Weverse, nor any other social media, thus it isn’t a real comment. I hope you enjoy this comment, but just remember, it isn’t a comment.

Thanks guys love your reaction. Zen by Jennie Kim: This stunning artwork belongs as an art installation in museums and galleries worldwide. It’s an enlightenment rap, signalling a new era in rapping. Through suffering and isolation one gains insight, wisdom, self power and peace; hence the title Zen and the self-empowering lyrics. Jennie mindfully references Blackpink in the black and pink lotus. Her words of growing overnight mirror the lotus as it blooms each morning. In her Blackpink costume, she hangs in suspended animation (awaiting her new Blackpink era), while simultaneously completing her solo work here.
