She revealed that she was not able to fully enjoy her time as a trainee because of the pressure she felt to do well. "At that time, I was always so pressured to do a good job during my end-of-the-month evaluations, so I didn't stop to enjoy it. But thanks to those times, we are doing so well now, and that is how we became the BLACKPINK we are today."
During the press conference, Jennie also acknowledged that the group had to overcome all sorts of hurdles to achieve the level of success they have today. Jennie explained how the members keep each other motivated even when things get tough.
"As we race towards our goals," Jennie starts. "We were able to keep each other motivated so that none of us would feel discouraged. Although we all have different styles and feel things differently, I think we learned to manage them, adjust, and communicate with each other well."
