Jennie's debut solo concert 'The Ruby Experience' at Inspire Arena stirred up mixed reactions from fans and critics alike.
Taking place on March 15, the event celebrated the launch of her first full-length solo album 'Ruby'. Jennie's Korean solo debut was marked with a live performance of all 15 tracks from the album, starting with captivating performances of 'Intro: JANE with FKJ' and 'start a war'. The concert showcased hits like 'Handlebars', 'Mantra', 'Love Hangover', 'ZEN', 'Damn Right', and more, with the exclusive premiere of the music video for 'Seoul City' adding to the excitement. Wrapping up the show with 'F.T.S', 'Filter', and an encore of 'Starlight' and 'twin', Jennie also took a heartfelt moment to connect with her fans.
While the high-energy performance left many in awe, some attendees expressed disappointment over the duration of the concert, which fell short of the advertised 120-minute runtime at just 75 minutes. Additionally, the limited fan interaction lasting only 5 to 10 minutes received mixed reviews.
The ticket pricing also sparked debate, ranging from 107 USD for A seats to 165 USD for Ruby seats. Critics argued that the ticket costs did not align with the concert's length.
Despite the criticisms, numerous fans defended Jennie's show, praising the extravagant performances and insisting that the experience was worth every penny. As Jennie embarks on her solo journey with this headline-making concert, the debate over her strong yet controversial debut performance continues.
