‘Human Chanel’ Turns into ‘Human Porsche’…Birth of New BLACKPINK JENNIE CAR
[중앙일보=강병철 기자] Singer JENNIE (JENNIE KIM), also known as the ‘Human Chanel’ has now transformed into a ‘Human Porsche’. On the 12th, German sports car brand Porsche unveiled their ‘Taycan 4S Cross Turismo for Jennie Ruby Jane’ at the ‘Sonderwunsch Haus’ in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, which they designed together with JENNIE.
It’s a Sonderwunsch vehicle, which means ‘individual wish’ and ‘special hope’ in German, and portrayed JENNIE’s dream as an individual. Holger Gerrmann, CEO of Porsche Korea, said, “We built Porsche Korea’s first Sonderwunsch vehicle with JENNIE, who represents all young women around the world. I was impressed by her passion and ideas she had for her own Porsche”.
What’s noticible is a cloud logo popping up through a projector located on the side of the car. Clouds were decorated on the head rest, and the interior has been designed the same way. The space designed for JENNIE’s dog ‘KUMA’ also stood out too.
JENNIE said “Collaborating with Porsche in designing my very own car itself was an amazing experience. Clouds have been a great companion for me while spending a lot of time overseas for tours, and I’m very proud to visualize this element into my car”.
JENNIE debuted as a a member of the girl group BLACKPINK from YG Entertainment in 2016 and also released a single as a solo singer in 2018. She has more than 70 million followers on Instagram, a social media platform, and is one of the most global influencers around the world. She became the official ambassador (model) of Chanel headquarters, a luxury brand, and earned the nickname of being a ‘Human Chanel’, by working as their model.
JENNIE’s Prosche will be displayed until the 26th at ‘Sonderwunsch Haus’ in Seoul. Fans can also meet her at the ‘BORN PINK’ concert at KSPO dome in Seoul Songpa-gu Bangi-dong held for two days on the 15th and 16th.
