Jennie Takes Over YouTube with “Seoul City” Music Video, Trending #1 Worldwide

Jennie Kim, the multifaceted rapper, singer, and fashion icon from BLACKPINK, has once again proven her global dominance with the music video for her solo track “Seoul City,” which is currently the #1 trending music video on YouTube worldwide. The visually captivating masterpiece, part of her debut solo album Ruby, has taken the internet by storm, racking up over 3 million views within hours of its release on April 26, 2025.

The “Seoul City” music video, released under Jennie’s independent label ODDATELIER, showcases the vibrant nightlife of Seoul while weaving a dreamy narrative of longing and connection to the city. Fans have praised the 29-year-old star, who served as both composer and lyricist, for her artistic direction. The video features Jennie atop a skyscraper with Seoul’s dazzling skyline as the backdrop, a teaser image that sent fans into a frenzy a day before the launch. “The MV is a visual masterpiece, and Jennie’s love for Seoul shines through every frame,” one fan posted on X, echoing the sentiment of millions.

The song, a sultry and romantic ode to Seoul, has resonated deeply with fans, who describe its “relaxed vibe” and “good energy” as a highlight of the Ruby album, released on March 7, 2025. “Seoul City was already my top pick from the album, and the MV just elevates it to another level,” one netizen commented, while another gave it a “10/10” for its seamless blend of music and visuals. Some fans, however, noted a slight blurriness between scenes but felt it complemented the video’s laid-back aesthetic.

The release has also reignited speculation about Jennie’s personal life, with some fans theorizing that “Seoul City” may be inspired by BTS’s V, fueled by past dating rumors from 2022. Social media clips pairing the song with V’s visuals have gone viral, though Jennie has remained silent on the matter, letting her art speak for itself.

Jennie’s star power is undeniable, with the “Seoul City” release boosting her YouTube following by over 100,000 in less than a day, bringing her closer to 15 million subscribers. The track marks another milestone in her solo career, following the success of other Ruby singles like “Mantra” and “Love Hangover,” which also received music videos. Fans are already speculating about the possibility of all 15 tracks from the album getting their own visuals, a bold move teased during Jennie’s The Ruby Experience showcase in Los Angeles.

As “Seoul City” continues to dominate YouTube charts and spark global conversations, Jennie’s influence as a solo artist and cultural ambassador for Seoul is stronger than ever. Fans can stream the music video on YouTube and join the worldwide celebration of this K-pop sensation’s latest triumph.
