DUBAI: Jennie, the K-pop superstar best known as a member of global sensation Blackpink, delivered a landmark moment at the recent Melon Music Awards in Seoul — both musically and sartorially.
The singer arrived in Guro-gu wearing a dramatic couture creation by Lebanese designer Georges Hobeika, instantly commanding attention on the red carpet. The event, which celebrates South Korea’s top musical talent, drew major stars including G-Dragon, Zico and EXO.
Jennie emerged as the night’s biggest winner, taking home the Record of the Year (Daesang) award — a historic first for a solo artist at the awards. The win caps off a major year for the performer, following the March release of her debut solo album, “Ruby.”
For the occasion, the “Mantra” singer chose a ballgown from Hobeika’s Fall 2025 Couture collection.
The look featured a structured white corset bodice with a lace-up back, embellished with crystal accents along the straps, flowing into an oversized black tulle skirt worn low on the waist. The voluminous silhouette gave the gown a sculptural, almost theatrical presence.
