Jennie Receives Global Force Award at 2025 Billboard Women in Music

The 2025 Billboard Women in Music Awards will honor prominent female artists, including BLACKPINK's Jennie and the K-pop group aespa. Jennie will receive the Global Force Award for her significant impact as a solo artist, particularly following the anticipated release of her debut album, Ruby, on March 7. The event, scheduled for March 29 at Hollywood Park's YouTube Theater in Inglewood, California, will also recognize aespa with the Group of the Year award. This year's ceremony highlights a diverse range of artists and aims to celebrate the contributions of women in reshaping the music industry. Billboard's leadership has emphasized the importance of honoring both rising stars and established icons for their innovative roles in music. Notably, this marks the first time a Korean soloist has received such recognition at the Billboard Women in Music Awards.
