Blackpink's Jennie performs new song 'Mantra' on 'Jimmy Kimmel'

Oct. 16 (UPI) -- Blackpink member Jennie performed her latest solo single on Jimmy Kimmel Live.

Host Jimmy Kimmel introduced the K-pop star to roaring applause, telling the audience, "Making her U.S. television debut, her song is called 'Mantra.'"

The South Korean singer begins her performance by looking into a series of car side mirrors.

"Pretty girls don't do drama unless we wanna," Jennie sings as she struts across the stage, wearing a tank top, shorts, and over-the-knee boots.

Several back-up dancers perform around the K-pop sensation.

Jennie dropped "Mantra," along with the song's music video, Friday -- her first new solo release since her 2023 track "You & Me."
