BLACKPINK member Jennie has revealed her principles regarding dating.

Recently, Jennie appeared on the 'Blind Date' segment of Cosmopolitan’s official YouTube channel, where she shared various insights with editor-in-chief Willa Bennett about love and interpersonal relationships.

When asked about how romantic relationships begin, Jennie expressed a preference for "relationships that develop from friendship into romance" over "love at first sight." She explained her reasoning by saying, "I believe starting as friends creates something special."

Jennie identified "ugly shoes" as the biggest red flag that can cause someone to lose interest on a first date. When the host then posed a scenario—“What if a man keeps changing his Facebook status but takes hours to reply to your messages?”—Jennie responded immediately.

She firmly stated, “No, that’s a red flag.” She added, “He changes his Facebook status but doesn’t reply? That’s all wrong. We deserve respect and love from men,” emphasizing her point.

When the host asked whether she would send another message if she didn’t receive a reply, Jennie laughed and said, “I don’t even send the first message. Sending two messages in a row is a huge deal for me.” However, she also noted, “If someone can’t reply due to personal circumstances, I respect that. I respect their time.”

When asked whether she had ever lived with an attractive roommate, Jennie simply replied, “Let’s stop here,” and laughed it off.

Meanwhile, to mark her 10th anniversary since debut, Jennie recently expressed gratitude toward her fans and fellow members. She said, “There have been so many moments over the years, and as time passes, I feel more deeply how powerful it has been to have people who always waited for me in the same place, believed in me, and supported me.”

She continued, “I’ve said thank you many times, but after going through 10 years, the meaning feels much greater than before. Thanks to all of you, I was able to achieve so many dreams, meet a wider world, and even stand on stages I had only ever imagined.” She thanked her fans sincerely.

In particular, Jennie said, “Living as 'Jennie' alongside BLINK has helped me get to know myself better and learn to love myself more. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for loving me, believing in me, and walking this path with me for 10 years.”

She did not forget to express gratitude toward her group members either. She said, “I want to say a heartfelt thank you to our members who have shared this entire journey with me. Thanks to always being each other’s strength, looking at the same dreams, and running together, we are where we are today.”

Finally, Jennie added, “Moving forward, I will continue to challenge myself, grow, and become a Jennie who can gift good music and wonderful memories. Thank you always, and I love you.”
