Fashion magazine Cosmopolitan released a pictorial and interview with Jennie on the 3rd.

Marking the 10th anniversary of her debut, she also spoke candidly about the process of taking care of herself. Jennie confessed, "I'm in the process of becoming friends with my body," adding, "There were definitely parts of myself that I felt insecure about. Since I'm quite petite, early in my career I felt pressured to make myself look bigger." She continued, "But now I'm learning to love my body as it is and discovering which styles suit my body type best. I feel more confident in myself than before."

Last year, she released her first solo studio album, 'Ruby,' and achieved career-best results, reaching No. 7 on the U.S. Billboard's main albums chart, the Billboard 200, and No. 83 on the main singles chart, the Hot 100. She continued her solo activities by releasing the new song 'Less Than a Lover' last month.
