Jennie’s side clarifies that her official fan club name is not ‘Rubies’
AKP STAFF
BLACKPINK Jennie’s agency has clarified misunderstandings involving the artist’s use of the term “Rubies” to greet her fans.
On September 19 KST, Jennie revealed a short voice message to her fans, saying, “Hi rubies, it’s Jennie. Stay tuned, and I’ll see you soon. Love you, bye!”.
While hinting at her anticipated solo comeback, the BLACKPINK member used the term “Rubies” to refer to her fans, leading to speculations that the term may become her official fan club name.
However, solo artist Kwon Eun Bi is currently using the same term “RUBI” as the official name for her fan club, raising similarity issues.
In response, OA Entertainment clarified, “The term was randomly used to refer to the fans on a one time basis, and this does not mean that it is Jennie’s official fan club name.”
Meanwhile, Jennie is set to return with a new single in October.

1. Seeing “Ruby” in Jennie’s Insta ID, I thought that it would really be her fandom name but seems like they didn’t research properly
2. The explanation kinda feels like they are begging us to believe themㅋㅋㅋ anyways, it’s fine as long as they change it
3. Did they not think about this raising a controversy? This is the thing that fans are the most sensitive about. The way big companies operate is like a one-person business.
4. Why’s everyone living so stressed out? They changed it, so case closed, right? In the end, no one was really harmed, and the ones who keep talking about it are just making trouble out of nothing.
5. They responded fast after seeing the response
6. If they just searched about “Ruby fandom”, they can easily find that the name belonged to another singer.. Damn.. what is this company even doing?
7. Alright, as long as you change it
8. Can you do your work properly instead?
9. Kwon Eunbi’s fans must be mad
10. She keeps on getting into trouble ever since she left YG. Seems like YG was actually doing a good work
