BLACKPINK's Jennie revealed the secret to maintaining her perfect figure despite her slender frame.
On the 25th, Jennie shared daily photos enjoying her leisure time after completing a three-day BLACKPINK concert at Tokyo Dome on her social media (SNS). Photos of her smiling while buried in a large doll, wearing a hat while out on the street, and a picture taken at a fitness center in a high-rise building caught attention.
In the photos, Jennie is taking a mirror selfie in a black bra top and leggings. Her slim ant waist and well-defined abs are highlighted, showcasing a smooth figure with no excess fat. This is the result of her thorough self-management, never skipping workouts.
Trainer Han Ji-eun also posted on SNS the same day, saying, "Jennie is #Ounwan (Today’s Workout Completed)" and noted, "PT before the BLACKPINK concert," sharing a glimpse of Jennie doing equipment workouts.
BLACKPINK will release their mini album 'DEADLINE' on the 27th of next month, marking their first release in over three years since their second full album 'BORN PINK'. Prior to this, BLACKPINK held a 'DEADLINE' world tour at Tokyo Dome from the 16th to the 18th, selling out all seats and attracting a total of 165,000 spectators over three days. BLACKPINK concerts consume a lot of energy due to their spectacular performances. Jennie maintains her fantastic figure through consistent workouts to deliver amazing performances.
Many people have set a goal for the new year to practice 'Ounwan' this year. Consistent daily efforts in anything lead to results. The same goes for exercise. We looked into the effects of 'Ounwan' workouts and the exercises that Jennie enjoys.
'Ounwan', Certification Shots for Health + Diet Effects
'Ounwan' is an abbreviation for "Today’s Workout Completed," which motivates and sustains health and body management by sharing workout completion on SNS or community platforms. Not only the MZ generation but also middle-aged communities encourage each other by certifying their 'Ounwan'. They often post numbers like daily step counts or running distances, and share mirror selfies after workouts.
The 'Ounwan' habit captures both health and body management. It provides a sense of achievement through consistent exercise and helps alleviate stress and increase happiness hormones through endorphin release. Additionally, it can be expected to enhance muscle strength, replenish energy, and boost immunity. However, excessive exercise can lead to addiction or musculoskeletal injuries, so caution is needed.
Body changes can also be visually confirmed. Using workout certification photos (eye body) for 'Ounwan' positively impacts weight management and diet sustainability, with research confirming that improvements in body mass index and tracking body changes serve as motivation. In a study from the University of Alicante in Spain, 271 participants in a weight loss program took full-body photos weekly, resulting in 71.3% of the 90% who completed the program achieving their target weight. This shows that visual change confirmation is as effective as numerical data like weight. Combining a protein diet with muscle growth and weight control enhances body management effects. Nutrients like vitamin B complex and milk thistle aid in muscle synthesis and fatigue relief.
Jennie's Body Management Exercises
Jennie's signature body management exercise is undoubtedly Pilates. Pilates, which Jennie has consistently practiced since before her debut, strengthens core muscles, corrects body shape, and enhances flexibility and muscle balance. The core muscles and sense of balance developed through this training provide significant support for Jennie, who needs to perform intense dance routines on stage. While weight training builds bulky muscles, recent K-pop idols seek slim yet delicate muscle development. Pilates helps develop long and lean muscles, achieving a slim waistline and abs like Jennie's.
She also enjoys yoga and flying yoga. Along with Pilates, yoga helps maintain good posture and balance, while flying yoga, which BLACKPINK members enjoy together, aids in blood circulation and lymphatic flow through movements performed while hanging from a hammock, effectively reducing swelling. Additionally, she engages in fasting cardio through morning walks or runs and maintains her 'Ounwan' at the gym during world tours. She combines intermittent fasting, a protein-centered diet, and a low-sodium diet for body and fitness management.
