Jennie Enjoys Casual Night Out in New York City Following TIME100 Honor

BLACKPINK's Jennie was photographed making her exit from The Corner Store restaurant following a casual dinner with friends on Friday night (April 24) in New York City.

The 30-year-old performer kept her look understated for the evening, pairing a navy sweater with black pinstriped trousers, black footwear, and sunglasses as she left the Manhattan establishment.

The outing came just one day after Jennie was among the celebrated honorees at the 2026 TIME100 Gala. The singer made this year's TIME100 list, with Gracie Abrams penning her tribute in the magazine.

"To cut to the chase: Jennie is a star. I could go on and on about her accomplishments or her influence in pop culture," Abrams wrote. "But sitting down to write, the thing that comes to mind is that the magic at her core—the power that draws you into 'Jennie the Artist' when you're watching her onscreen or as one of 100,000 people in a stadium—is identical to the power she carries when you find her in the corner of a party or run into her in a backstage hallway."

The musician's influence extends beyond the stage. Abrams continued: "What makes Jennie a true star is that even in her quiet moments, she possesses the same kind of undeniable presence that cuts through all the noise, and she carries that with kindness and warmth. She is the type of person who will grab both your hands and squeeze them. She has a softness that only emphasizes her strength. I just love her."

Earlier in 2026, Jennie collaborated with Frankies Bikinis on an exclusive collection, showcasing the partnership through a campaign series.
