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
STB Unveils Playful Singapore at ComplexCon Hong Kong The Singapore Tourism Board (STB) has launched a new initiative at ComplexCon Hong Kong, collaborating with Singaporean artist tobyato and e-commerce platform ShopBack to spotlight the city-state’s vibrant, unexpected side. The campaign, titled "We don’t wait for fun," targets young travelers aged 25 to 39, encouraging them to rediscover Singapore through a lens of creativity, street culture, and modern reinterpretations of its heritage. The effort positions Singapore as a dynamic playground where tradition and innovation intersect, offering experiences that blend history with contemporary energy. At the event, STB will showcase a three-meter-tall "Sneaker Stone Dragon" art installation, inspired by Singapore’s iconic Dragon’s Teeth Gate—a historic landmark that once guided sailors to the island. The artwork reimagines the city’s heritage as a symbol of creativity and movement, merging ancient symbolism with modern aesthetics. The installation is part of a broader effort to highlight Singapore’s unique ability to balance the old and the new, while celebrating its role as a hub for artistic experimentation. Artist tobyato, known for his bold murals and digital graphics, has reinterpreted traditional stone lions that guard sacred spaces, infusing them with street art and sneaker-inspired elements like laces and stitching. His work draws from Singaporean icons and heritage, creating a contemporary gateway to the city. The collaboration with tobyato reflects STB’s goal to present Singapore as a place where cultural legacy meets street culture, offering visitors a fresh perspective on its identity.#singapore_tourism_board #tobyato #complexcon_hong_kong #shopback #dragon_s_teeth_gate
