Jennie Debuts ‘Dracula’ Live at First Solo China Show Jennie Kim made history on Sunday night (March 22) by delivering her first solo performance in China, marking a pivotal moment for her career. The K-pop icon took the stage at the Complex Live music festival at Hong Kong’s AsiaWorld-Expo, uniting fans from both her Blackpink era and her solo fanbase, the “Rubies,” under one roof. The sold-out crowd, eager to experience every facet of Jennie’s artistry, witnessed a tight 10-song, 30-minute set that drew heavily from her 2025 debut solo album, Ruby. The performance was a blend of her signature choreography-driven R&B style, infused with hip-hop and club influences. Jennie’s bold, edgy persona shone through, as she frequently incorporated swearing into her lyrics and embraced a more unapologetic stage presence compared to many of her female K-pop counterparts. Her set included a dramatic rendition of “Dracula,” where she emerged in a striking black coat that blurred the lines between cape and couture, fully immersing herself in a gothic fantasy aesthetic. The energy peaked during “Damn Right,” where her catwalk-like movements transformed the stage into a runway, and she closed with the anthemic “Like Jennie,” donning her Gentle Monster shades for a powerful finish. The event was part of the third annual ComplexCon Hong Kong, a fashion and pop-culture exhibition that drew thousands to the AsiaWorld-Expo. Jennie’s performance was a highlight of the festival, which also featured other major acts like rapper Yeat, Jay Park, and ALLDAYPROJECT. Bonnie Chan Woo, CEO of Complex China, praised Jennie’s ability to captivate audiences, noting her dedication to creativity and the unique elements she brought to the performance. “Her presence in Hong Kong, even a year after her solo album release, meant so much,” Chan Woo said.#complexcon_hong_kong #complex_live #jennie_kim #kasing_lung #ruby
Jennie Performs Tame Impala's "Dracula" at Hong Kong Festival Jennie made her first live performance of Tame Impala's "Dracula" during a solo set at Hong Kong’s Complex Live music festival on Sunday night. The Blackpink singer took the stage at AsiaWorld-Expo for a 10-song performance that highlighted tracks from her debut solo album, Ruby. The set included her remixed version of "Dracula," a collaboration with the Australian band Tame Impala, which was originally released on their 2025 album Deadbeat. Jennie and Tame Impala first partnered on the track in February, with the new version featuring Jennie's vocal contributions. The performance allowed her to showcase her unique interpretation of the song, which she had previously shared on social media. The event marked a significant moment for Jennie, who has been promoting Ruby since its March 2025 release through her own label, Odd Atelier, and Columbia Records. The 15-track album featured collaborations with artists such as Childish Gambino, Doechii, and Dua Lipa. The performance also coincided with Blackpink’s recent activities. The group reunited for their mini album Deadline, released in February 2025, and embarked on the Deadline World Tour, which concluded in Hong Kong in July. The tour included their comeback single "Jump" and a tribute to earlier girl-group pioneers, such as the Spice Girls, during a performance of "Wannabe" at Wembley Stadium in August. Tame Impala’s Deadbeat, released in October 2025, is the group’s fifth full-length album. Frontman Kevin Parker described the project as a "future primitive rave act," a departure from their earlier work. Jennie’s remix of "Dracula" aligns with her artistic evolution, blending pop sensibilities with experimental elements.#hong_kong #tame_impala #jennie #complex_live #deadbeat
