jennie’s beauty is an effortless contradiction of softness and edge. delicate features, rounded cheeks and full lips, are offset by dark, feline eyes that can turn an otherwise sweet expression into something considerably sharper.

petite and feminine, she carries the unmistakable polish of someone raised between fashion and high society. her style favours understated luxury- archival pieces, timeless silhouettes, delicate jewellery and the occasional statement piece worn as though it were nothing remarkable.

there is something distinctly expensive about jennie, though it has considerably less to do with what she wears than people assume. hers is the sort of beauty that appears effortlessly, yet proves increasingly difficult to look away from.

little black dresses and vintage jewellery — sunglasses pushed into her hair — heels clicking against marbled floors — a half empty champagne coupe beside an untouched dinner plate — lipstick stains on coffee cups — stacks of vinyl beside fashion books and magazines — handwritten notes scattered across an otherwise immaculate desk — oversized headphones and late nights in recording studios — black town cars waiting outside — fresh flowers delivered every monday — the glow of seoul through floor-to-ceiling windows — airport lounges, hotel balconies and sleeping through flights with an eye mask on — looking considerably more put together than she feels

jennie ruby jane kim has never known what it is like to enter a room without someone already knowing her name.

the only daughter of julian kim, chairman and ceo of ruby records, and camille han, a retired korean supermodel raised in france, jennie was born into a world where wealth and celebrity were ordinary. ruby records had belonged to her father’s family long before she was born, passing from her grandfather into julian’s hands and eventually becoming one of the most influential names in the music industry. her middle name, ruby, was both an homage to that legacy and a quiet acknowledgment of what would one day become hers.

growing up between seoul and paris, jennie’s childhood was anything but conventional. private schools, international flights and dinners surrounded by household names were simply part of her life. some of her earliest memories are of wandering through ruby’s headquarters, sitting quietly inside recording studios or falling asleep backstage while waiting for an event to finish.

music fascinated her, although never quite in the way people expected.

where others dreamed of standing beneath the lights, jennie was interested in everything happening behind them. she wanted to know why one photograph was chosen over another, how clothes could completely transform an artist’s image and why certain album concepts became culturally recognisable while others disappeared within weeks.

entering the family company inevitably came with accusations of nepotism, something jennie has never bothered denying. her surname opened doors that would have remained completely closed for most people, and pretending otherwise seemed ridiculous.

what she refused to accept was the assumption that privilege made her incapable.

rather than immediately taking an impressive executive position, jennie joined ruby’s creative division and gradually established a reputation of her own. she became known for her meticulous eye, strong opinions and unwillingness to settle for something simply because considerable time or money has already been spent on it. she could be demanding, occasionally infuriatingly so, but she understood how to build a visual identity around an artist without losing the person underneath it.

eventually, she earned the position of creative director.

nevertheless, the future of ruby remains inseparable from her own. the company passed from her grandfather to her father, and as the only member of the next generation, jennie remains its presumed successor.

⟢ first impression

polished, self-assured and perhaps a little intimidating. jennie carries herself like someone who has never questioned whether she belongs in the room. she is composed without being overly serious, though her confidence is occasionally mistaken for arrogance by people who don’t know her.

⟢ beneath the surface

considerably warmer than appearances suggest. playful, witty and affectionate with people she genuinely likes, jennie enjoys teasing almost as much as she enjoys being teased back. sincerity tends to embarrass her far more easily than flirting ever could.

⟢ socially

naturally charismatic and exceptionally comfortable around people. years spent navigating both high society and entertainment have made her good at reading a room- and even better at recognising when someone’s interest in her isn’t entirely genuine. she can talk to almost anyone, but very few people are immediately allowed close.

⟢ strengths

observant, ambitious, creative and loyal. jennie remembers small details and has an eye for things other people overlook. once someone becomes important to her, she is generous with her time, attention and resources, often helping without waiting to be asked.

⟢ flaws

stubborn, impatient, prideful and admittedly somewhat spoiled. jennie is accustomed to getting her way and can become particularly difficult when she believes she is right. she hates admitting defeat, holds herself and others to demanding standards and occasionally struggles to distinguish compromise from conceding.

⟢ temper

rarely explosive. the angrier jennie becomes, the quieter she tends to get. she would much rather deliver one perfectly chosen sentence than cause a scene, and she’s exceptionally good at remembering exactly where someone’s weaknesses lie when sufficiently provoked.

⟢ trust

slowly given and viscously protected. jennie has spent too long around people interested in her surname, family or connections to take everyone at face value. once someone earns her trust, however, she tends to give it completely- and betrayal is one of the few things she has difficulty forgiving.

⟢ affection

more comfortable showing than telling. thoughtful gifts, physical touch, remembering someone’s coffee order and sending them things that reminded her of them come naturally. verbally admitting how much someone means to her? considerably more difficult.

⟢ romance

an unapologetic flirt with an unfortunate appreciation for handsome men. attraction comes easily; genuine interest does not. confidence, humor and competence are her greatest weaknesses, particularly someone capable of challenging her without attempting to control her. she wants someone who can keep up rather than simply admire her.

⟢ competitive streak

much stronger than she likes to admit. being underestimated is perhaps the fastest way to motivate her. she doesn’t necessarily need everyone to know she won, but she absolutely needs herself to know she did.

⟢ independence

important almost to a fault. despite growing up surrounded by people capable of solving virtually every inconvenience for her, jennie dislikes having decisions made on her behalf. privilege may have shaped her life, but she remains determined that her choices, and whatever consequences follow them, belong to her.

⟢ likes

vinly records and physical albums — chanel — vintage jewellery — peonies and lilies — iced americanos regardless of the weather — french pastries — handwritten cards — fashion photography books — hotel breakfasts — espresso martini — late-night drives — thunderstorms — the smell of fresh sheets — pretty packaging — buying gifts without an occasion — having someone else drive so she can control the music — men who smell ridiculously good

⟢ dislikes

lukewarm coffee — unnecessary meetings — badly designed album covers — people who confuse expensive with tasteful — unsolicited career advice — delayed flights — fingerprints on glass — forced small talk — hearing “your father” during professional conversation — being told to smile — excessive cologne — men who call themselves alpha males — pretty men who know they are pretty (unfortunately, historically ineffective as a deterrent)

⟢ hobbies

collecting vinyl and limited edition releases — photography — attending small concerts when she can do so unnoticed — galleries and exhibitions — pilates — creating painfully specific playlists — browsing vintage stores in paris — occasional piano playing — themed dinner nights with girls — travelling without an itinerary — flirting with someone she has absolutely no intention of giving her number to

⟢ habits

pushes her sunglasses onto her head and immediately loses them — taps her nails when impatient — switches between korean, english and french when speaking with family without noticing — keeps one earbud in while working — doodles over meeting agendas — sends songs instead of explaining her mood — automatically straightens crooked objects — looks at men’s hands when they are talking — plays with her jewellery when someone has genuinely caught her attention — leaves lipstick marks on cheeks when saying goodbye after she’s had enough champagne

⟢ rituals

buys one record in every city she visits — calls her mother whenever she lands in paris — keeps the first physical copy of every album she has creatively directed — takes herself out for dinner after completing difficult projects — disappears somewhere warm at the end of every year

⟢ vices

online shopping after midnight — expensive wine — saying she’s staying out for one drink and coming home at 3 — buying another handbang suspiciously similar to one she already owns — caffeine — gossip she absolutely didn’t ask to hear but will nevertheless listen to in its entirety — replying to text she promised her friends she would ignore — beautiful men with questionable emotional availability — letting a handsome face earn approximately one chance more than it deserved

⟢ age: 58

⟢ occupation: chairman & ceo of ruby records

julian has never needed to remind jennie that she is his only child, nor that ruby will eventually become hers. he raised her around the company without forcing her toward it, allowing recording studios and executive floors to become familiar long before they became relevant to her future.

their relationship has always existed somewhere between father and mentor. he indulged her more than he would ever admit, but never professionally; inside ruby, praise had to be earned rather than inherited. when jennie chose the creative division, julian gave her the opportunity- and little else. no protection from criticism, no expectation that employees treat her gently because of her surname.

he remains one of the few people whose professional opinion can genuinely make her second-guess herself. equally, there are few compliments she values more than the rare, simple good offered after he sees something she created.

jennie adores him, though neither is particularly theatrical about affection. beneath their occasional disagreements exists an enormous amount of mutual respect. she wants to make him proud, but perhaps more importantly, she wants him to eventually hand ruby to her because he believes she is ready- not simply because she is his daughter.

⟢ age: 56

⟢ occupation: retired international supermodel

if julian introduced jennie to music, camille taught her how to see.

raised in france and having spent much of her adult life within international fashion, camille filled her daughter’s childhood with art, clothes, photography and an appreciation for beautiful things that went considerably deeper than their price tags. she taught jennie that presentation could be its own language- that fabric, colour, movement and imagery could tell someone who you were before you ever opened your mouth.

their relationship has always been particularly close. camille is her mother before she is anything else: the person jennie calls from airports, seeks out during difficult periods and can still occasionally be reduced to feeling sixteen around with nothing more than a pointed look.

she is also responsible for some of jennie’s highest standards. camille notices everything. a poorly tailored dress, questionable manners, the exhaustion jennie insists she isn’t feeling, or the fact that her daughter is avoiding a subject- very little escapes her.

jennie inherited much of her visual sensibility from camille, though neither considers her a copy of her mother. where camille made a career from being the image, jennie ultimately chose to become the person creating it. of all the things her daughter could have taken from her world, camille is quietly proud that it was her eye rather than her footsteps.

⟢ age: 27+

⟢ relationship: former fiancé / first serious love

⟢ status: separated, unresolved

⟢ dynamic: right person, wrong circumstances — lingering love — resentment — bruised pride — almost forever

once the man jennie fully intended to marry. their relationship ended not from a lack of love, but from everything that came with loving her. her fame became overwhelming, the difference in their wealth increasingly uncomfortable, and earning less than her slowly turned into an insecurity he couldn’t overcome. jennie never cared about the disparity; he did enough for both of them.

eventually, he ended their engagement, convinced he could never feel like her equal while standing beside her.

there was no cheating, no spectacular betrayal, and no moment that made loving him suddenly easy to stop- only an engagement ring returned and a future neither of them got to have.

⟢ age: 26+

⟢ relationship: best friend / chosen sister

⟢ status: inseparable

⟢ dynamic: ride or die — platonic soulmates — brutal honesty — shared secrets — questionable decisions — unconditional loyalty

jennie’s person in every possible sense. whether they met as children or found each other later in life is open for plotting, but somewhere along the way, friendship turned into something closer to sisterhood.

she is the first person jennie calls with good news, bad decisions, questionable screenshots, and gossip that absolutely cannot wait until morning. there are no carefully maintained appearances between them- she has seen jennie heartbroken, furious, embarrassingly drunk, and considerably less glamorous than the rest of the world would ever believe.

their friendship consists of unconditional loyalty, brutal honesty, ridiculous inside jokes, spontaneous trips, shared closets, and the occasional argument neither can stay angry through. jennie would trust her with virtually anything, including the parts of herself she keeps carefully hidden from everyone else.

⟢ age: 27+

⟢ relationship: personal bodyguard / professional nuisance

⟢ status: strictly professional… supposedly

⟢ dynamic: relentless teasing — banter — forced proximity — forbidden attraction — lingering glances — will they, won’t they

hired to accompany jennie whenever an event requires more security than she would ordinarily tolerate. he is serious, disciplined and relentlessly professional- or at least he was before she made breaking that composure her personal form of entertainment.

jennie delights in annoying him: unnecessary questions whispered while he’s working, deliberately wandering off, teasing remarks delivered solely to earn a reaction. in public, he remains perfectly stoic. behind closed doors, professionalism gives way to banter, exasperated arguments and a chemistry neither has managed to address.

they’ve spent far too long hovering somewhere between employer and employee, friends and something considerably less appropriate.

neither seems willing to cross the line first, but jennie certainly enjoys seeing how close she can get before he finally does.
