Jennie released her new song "ZEN" on January 24, marking the start of her first solo album, Ruby. While the music video quickly impressed with a fresh, bold image, it soon sparked controversy for similarities to XG's "Howling." Netizens pointed out overlaps in color tones, scene settings, visual effects, and accessories, raising questions of potential copying.
The controversy deepened when it was revealed that both MVs were directed by Choi Gi Seok, leading to speculation that the similarities were intentional. While this clarified accusations of plagiarism, many criticized the director for reusing ideas, arguing that it lacked creativity.
Despite the debate, "ZEN" remains a hit, further solidifying Jennie's presence in the music industry. The ongoing discussion reflects the fine line between artistic inspiration and imitation in the creative world.
