K-pop artist Jennie of BLACKPINK has been named by TIME to its 100 most influential people in the world list.

Jennie is one of the 16 people in the Artists category along with Noah Wyle, Dakota Johnson, Jafar Panahi, Luke Combs, Keke Palmer, Claire Danes, Benicio Del Toro, Jonathan Groff, Ranbir Kapoor,  Tayari Jones, Noah Kahan, Anderson .Paak, Rhea Seehorn, Coco Jones and Freida McFadden.

“Congrats JENNIE on being named to @TIME’s annual TIME100 List of the 100 most influential people in the world,” Odd Atelier, Jennie’s agency, posted on X. 

Grammy-nominated singer Gracie Abrams penned the description for Jennie, writing, “To cut to the chase: Jennie is a star.” 

“I could go on and on about her accomplishments or her influence in pop culture. 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,” she added. 

She said, “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.“

"The 2026 TIME 100 list of the world's most influential people recognizes the leaders, innovators, and changemakers who are redefining the future. We are honored to convene this extraordinary global community at this year's TIME100 Summit and Gala, alongside our incredible partners, to spotlight their impact,” said TIME Chief Executive Officer Jessica Sibley.
