Since separating to pursue individual activities, Jennie (BLACKPINK) has tried her hand at many new roles in many fields, from model, actress, MC, and she also actively participates in reality TV shows. Whether as a host or a guest, Jennie impresses with her eloquence, wit, intelligent thinking, and ability to adapt quickly to the situation. Through these reality TV shows, the audience can learn more about Jennie’s true self hidden behind her usual cool exterior.

After Apartment 404  ended, Jennie is ready to return to a new variety show with an upcoming guest role on My Name is Gabriel .

Produced by PD Kim Tae Ho, who is best known for MBC’s hit show Infinite Challenge , My Name is Gabriel is an observational reality variety show where contestants will live the life of a random person out of 8 billion people on Earth, under a new name, for 72 hours, at a random location around the world.

The show features a star-studded cast including Park Bo Gum, Ji Chang Wook, Dex, Yum Hye Ran, Park Myung Soo, Hong Jin Kyung, and dancer Gabe. The show premiered in June and airs every Friday at 10:30 p.m. KST on JTBC.

Rumors about Jennie joining the show  My Name is Gabriel have been circulating since March this year, but at that time, the management company ODDATELIER announced that the BLACKPINK rapper  declined the casting invitation to focus on music production.

Fans of the female singer believe that she feels pressured when participating in reality TV shows as a permanent cast member. Because Apartment 404 had a not-so-favorable start, despite having a quality cast, including “national MC” Yoo Jae Suk.

For a game show to be successful, the most important factors are attractiveness and humor. But the show  Apartment 404 is considered to be just “fun enough”. Although it attracts international audiences, the show is not hot in Korea, when it is assessed that it does not have many new elements compared to other game shows.

For this reason, it is understandable that Jennie is hesitant to participate in another reality TV show, when the effects are not hot enough and do not bring good results for her image.

However, the show’s production team and PD did not give up. They personally went to OA company many times to talk to the female idol. In an interview with Sports Chosun on September 3, My Name is Gabriel ‘s director Jeon Ah-young shared the details of the casting process for Jennie, successfully convincing the BLACKPINK member:

“There is a story behind Jennie’s casting. The production team initially offered Jennie a role in the show Gabriel . However, Jennie was starting to prepare for her new album at the time and had just finished filming a tvN show. It was a time when she had many concerns. The production team went to Jennie’s agency many times to invite her to participate, and Jennie also considered it carefully. However, due to a lot of pressure, she initially refused.

However, we really wanted Jennie to join, so we continued to persuade her even after she was rejected. Casting Jennie was something that the production team put a lot of effort into. PD Kim Tae-ho even personally went to meet Jennie to discuss the program. In the end, through the persistence and sincerity of the production team, she agreed to join the final lineup of Gabriel .”

Finally, after being convinced by the production team, Jennie (BLACKPINK) confirmed that she will participate in JTBC’s variety show My Name is Gabriel . According to the announcement on September 3, she will play a guest role instead of joining the fixed host cast.

In the character poster, Jennie plays Maria, the owner of a small farmhouse in a village near Rome, Italy. According to the production team, the inn is 96 years old.

Playing the role of Maria, Jennie (BLACKPINK) will have 72 hours to complete the tasks of a guesthouse owner such as welcoming guests, cooking, preparing parties and instructing cooking classes, etc. The photos show Maria smiling brightly while cooking, chatting with friends, etc. This is a very different country life from the life of world superstar Jennie (BLACKPINK).

When will the show My Name is Gabriel with Jennie air?

Jennie will appear in episodes 13 and 14, scheduled to air on September 27 (episode 13) and October 4 (episode 14) respectively. Viewers are looking forward to Jennie’s performance as she lives the life of a 28-year-old young woman, completely different from her everyday “star” image. What will Jennie be like when she lives a life where no one knows who she is? Let’s watch.
