Jennie is adding another major milestone to her global résumé.
The BLACKPINK star has been named to TIME’s “100 Most Influential People of 2026,” the publication revealed on April 15th (local time).
The annual TIME 100 list recognizes individuals who have made a significant impact through their influence, innovation and achievements—and this year, Jennie stands as the only K-pop artist included.
Her latest honor follows a strong run of accolades. Jennie’s first full-length solo album Ruby was previously named to Rolling Stone’s “100 Best Albums of 2025,” while she also topped Forbes Korea’s “Korean Idols of the Year” list.
With her influence continuing to grow across music, fashion and pop culture, Jennie’s latest recognition further cements her status as a global force.
The full TIME 100 list is available on the magazine’s official website, with the issue set to hit stands on April 27th.
