BLACKPINK's Jennie is set to resume her main career activities with a new song.

On the 21st, Jennie released several teasers hinting at her upcoming single.

Jennie said, "I'm releasing my new song this Friday," and added, "I'll give you my name as a gift."

Previously, on the 18th, Jennie posted photos without any explanation.

In the released photo, Jennie is seen leaning affectionately against a man's shoulder while striking a tender pose. The man's face was obscured by a heart. The couple-like mood between the two drew attention.

This led to speculation about whether the photo was a spoiler for Jennie's new album or carried another meaning.

Meanwhile, Jennie had previously premiered her new song at major festivals including the U.S. 'The Governors Ball Music Festival 2026', Denmark's 'Roskilde Festival', Poland's 'Open'er Festival', and Spain's '2026 MAD COOL FESTIVAL'. The track generated significant buzz, prompting a surge of requests from global fans for its official release, which has now been confirmed.

With her new song "Less than a Lover," featuring a sensual vocal tone and unique aura, Jennie dominated various SNS trending charts, reaffirming her global influence as a solo artist. Furthermore, before the official digital release, festival footage spread organically across short-form platforms like TikTok and Reels, garnering high attention. This has raised expectations that the track could become one of this summer's signature summer anthems.

Until now, Jennie had built her reputation on dazzling performances and visuals. With this new song, she will showcase a different side by layering deeper vocals over a languid texture created by Lo-fi guitar sounds and vintage electric keyboards.

Jennie is preparing to perform at major global festivals including the U.S. 'Lollapalooza Chicago' and Japan's 'SUMMER SONIC 2026', drawing intense focus on her upcoming activities.
