All eyes are currently on Jennie Kim, the lead Blackpink singer and one of Chanel's latest muses.

The world is obsessed with Jennie Kim. But who is this latest It girl and why is she called the &quot;Human Chanel&quot;? Kim&nbsp;grew up in South Korea and is the lead singer for K-pop girl group <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/what-is-k-pop-fashion-blackpink-bts">Blackpink</a>. The star has gained the attention of the fashion world, recently appearing in a teaser for <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/fashion/chanel-fall-winter-2021-virginie-viard" target="_blank">Chanel&#39;s Fall/Winter 2021</a> collection, and she&#39;s often seen in looks straight from the runway. Get to know more about the fashionable K-pop idol.

Kim is a huge <a href="https://www.lofficielusa.com/pop-culture/rihanna-fenty-decade-music-fashion" target="_blank">Rihanna</a> fan (who isn&#39;t?). During her childhood, Kim once auditioned for her current label, YG Entertainment, with her own version of Rihanna&#39;s &quot;Take a Bow,&quot; and won a K-pop internship.

In the reality show Blackpink House, Kim clearly rules the kitchen. Her skills as a pastry chef have especially been noticed by the public. Some of her dishes have gone viral, like&nbsp;the two-colored black and white (chocolate and strawberry flavor) macaroons. Fellow band members sometimes refer to her as Jennie Ramsey (a reference to British chef Gordon Ramsey).

She&#39;s Shy Backstage, But Fiery On-Stage

Although she is often portrayed very fiery and confident on stage, her behind-the-scenes personality is the opposite. The people close to her, from producer Park to Jennie&#39;s Pilates instructor, Jessie Yeo, have described her as shy before. &ldquo;I&#39;m super shy,&rdquo; Kim says&nbsp;in the Blackpink documentary&nbsp;Light Up the Sky. &quot;I was one of those people I couldn&#39;t even order on the phone. I hated that. It took me a while to get there.&quot;

She&#39;s in a K-Pop Power Couple

Korean entertainment website Dispatch revealed that the global K-pop star is dating&nbsp;G-Dragon (Kwon Ji Yong) of Big Bang. According to the media, the performers have been dating for about a year and have been spotted several times at home in G-Dragon&#39;s luxury villa in Hannam-dong.

In addition to the music industry, Kim has become a muse for both fashion and beauty labels such as Chanel. She often wears the label in Blackpink&#39;s music videos, and in her everyday life. Because Chanel is her favorite brand, Kim was nicknamed &quot;Human Chanel&quot; by her fans.&nbsp;
