BLACKPINK’s Jennie raised anticipation for her new song ″Less than a Lover″ by releasing a video featuring Taiwanese model Kai on her official TikTok account. OA Entertainment (Odd Atelier) first announced the release of Jennie’s new solo single ″Less than a Lover″ and shared a teaser poster on their official SNS on the 21st. In the teaser, the identity of a man whose face was covered with a heart sticker was revealed to be Taiwanese model Kai, confirming their collaboration in the music video. On the 22nd, Jennie posted a video on her official TikTok account with the new song as the background music. In the video, Jennie held the camera like a selfie against a backdrop of a green field and sang along to the new song, while Kai appeared behind her wearing a black jacket and wide denim pants. Jennie then turned around, took Kai’s hand, and they ran together through the field, raising their arms high while holding hands, creating a free-spirited atmosphere. Scheduled for release at 1 PM on the 24th, ″Less than a Lover″ is a summer song blending lo-fi guitar sounds with vintage electric keyboards, showcasing Jennie’s new musical style. Jennie personally participated in the overall production, including songwriting and directing the music video. The song was pre-released at global music festivals such as the Governors Ball Music Festival 2026 in the U.S. and the Mad Cool Festival in Spain, and next month she is scheduled to perform at Lollapalooza Chicago in the U.S. and Summer Sonic 2026 in Japan.
