“ZEN” is the second single from Jennie’s upcoming Ruby album. The visualizer, directed by Cho Gi-Seok, contains breathtaking visuals featuring muted tones to vibrant hues and a dynamic wardrobe with both contemporary fashion and traditional attire that reflects a fusion of past and present. The rich visual experience complements the song’s powerful lyrics, “Nobody gon’ move my soul, move my aura, my matter.”

The video follows the couple through a series of romantic dates, each inevitably leading to Jennie’s tragic end. Both the visuals and the lyrics explore the difficulty of walking away from a connection that keeps pulling you back, highlighting the painful cycle of love and the risk of heartbreak: “We say it’s over / But I keep f–ing with you / And every time I do, I wake up with this love hangover.”
