1
The beauty of it is it looks so normal.
2
It looks so plain.
3
The power that it holds.
4
I guess only time will tell.
5
Jenny, welcome to the show.
6
- Thank you for having me, Sean.
7
I am very happy and excited and scared to be here.
8
- How are you around spicy food before we get started?
9
Are you someone who enjoys a little heat?
10
In my daily life, I have no, nothing, no spice in my life.
11
I don't like spicy food or anything to do with spice.
12
If anything, I like things plain, but here I am.
13
Facing my fear.
14
And there's no turning back.
15
That's exactly right.
16
Are you ready to get started?
17
I am.
18
Oh, we're going right in!
19
Here we go!
20
Okay.
21
Bye.
22
Mmm!
23
I'm going to go Mmm!
24
This was good.
25
Thank you.
26
Nine to go.
27
So I understand that your album, "Ruby," is inspired in part by the 16th century William Shakespeare play, "As You Like It." I'm curious,
28
what kind of connection did you make between your own journey and Shakespeare's exploration of the stages of life?
29
When I first read the play and saw how they broke down into seven different stages,
30
what I was coming from was also the seven years of being in a group of Blackpink
31
and how every little event has changed me over time.
32
got me here.
33
So I started just breaking myself down.
34
And I guess it just inspired me to look at myself in a different way and really dive into
35
what got me here and who I am.
36
If that makes sense.
37
I am following you all the way.
38
Okay.
39
And you'll take me on a journey, I'll take you on a journey.
40
If you're ready to move on here to wing number two.
41
Oh yes, I'm ready.
42
I'm actually excited for wing two.
43
Just winging it.
44
Okay.
45
Thank you.
46
You know what though?
47
I'm gonna try my best.
48
And keep my calm.
49
I'm not gonna overreact over...spice, you know?
50
I like that you're making this claim on wing two.
51
We'll see how it goes.
52
Okay.
53
Alright?
54
It's now here.
55
I feel like I'm at Hot Ones now.
56
Yep.
57
The party started.
58
It has started.
59
Okay.
60
It's good though.
61
So, I think it's really interesting and honest.
62
When you talk about making this record, you make it very clear that it was not at all an easy process.
63
When you think about the creative decisions that went into putting together this album, is there something that you're particularly proud to have fought for on the album's behalf?
64
Yes, so many things.
65
So I had to fight for a few of the songs and honestly the whole core message to begin with
66
We didn't have to forcefully make the music easy for people to like this album.
67
Let me try and do what I like and what I convinced myself to do to get to people.
68
And a lot of the songs on this album, I really had to fight for it.
69
especially a song like "Zen",
70
a song like "Starlight", which I understand that it might not be the first thing that could pop up in people's mind,
71
but I knew that it would touch the people that I want to touch.
72
Thank you.
73
I saw a few episodes where people start getting from the third wing.
74
It gets you, kinda in the back, but I can survive.
75
I see it.
76
You know what?
77
I'm so proud of myself right now.
78
I'm so proud.
79
Thank you.
80
I'm here in the third wing and I'm surviving.
81
Having the best time.
82
More than surviving.
83
Can you describe something that you've learned from a vocal coach that you think has really helped you as a singer?
84
physical like jaw position or something psychological like a mental hurdle you had to overcome.
85
Is there a lesson that you hold close?
86
I remember...
87
This was in LA with my vocal coach and on our very first day, on our very first session,
88
he had me just stood there and look out the window and just scream as loud as I can.
89
It wasn't to scream in the most beautiful voice or to be the loudest.
90
It was to get to that state of releasing everything that's kind of holding you up.
91
I don't know if this could help anyone, but it did for me.
92
So, there's so many tricks and, you know, things that you could do to prep your vocals and, and to get you to the next level.
93
But this could be your very first, one of your first steps is Do you need to be able to just let go pop open that window.
94
Yeah.
95
And No fear, like look at me now.
96
I see that.
97
Yeah.
98
Come on, this one doesn't even look spicy.
99
I'm disappointed.
100
- Oh, shit.
101
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm - I see.
102
- Mm -hmm.
103
It's not the color that matters.
104
Looks can be deceiving, you know?
105
It does have another level to it.
106
It's kicking.
107
Yeah, I know.
108
It's kicking me.
109
- - On my tongue.
110
Oh my god.
111
Not disappointed, right?
112
That's right.
113
Oh, what's happening?
114
It's just, you know when you were like, "I'm at Hot Ones?" You know, this is the party.
115
Unfortunately, the party just gets louder, it gets more intense.
116
The people who come in...
117
Yeah.
118
It's coming at me.
119
So recently, you ran through almost the entirety of Ruby during your performance at Coachella.
120
Mm -hmm.
121
What do you learn about your own music by performing it live?
122
Like, do fans react to certain songs or lyrics in ways that surprise you?
123
I've never released an album with 15 songs inside.
124
And it's still kicking my tongue.
125
I know.
126
And you know what?
127
I'm not going to lie to you, Jenny.
128
That is just where we're at.
129
All right?
130
That's just the show.
131
All right.
132
Got it.
133
But my favorite part is when they just start screaming the lyrics of the songs that never made it as a single.
134
And you call that a B -side track, right?
135
Yeah, yeah.
136
It's a whole different term in Korean.
137
A B -side track.
138
And they're just screaming it.
139
The lyrics from.. the top to the end and that's when you really feel like, oh they really do listen to your album,
140
they really do listen to your music.
141
It's shooting at me.
142
No, from all sides.
143
The walls are closing in.
144
Oh, yeah.
145
Thankfully you have the tea.
146
Does tea help?
147
I see people drinking milk.
148
Should I be drinking milk?
149
Maybe milk is the move in times like these.
150
Yeah.
151
- - - Oh, mustard.
152
Mustard is friendly.
153
- Okay.
154
So I asked Lisa this question.
155
I'm curious if maybe you have any advice.
156
Is there a Korean beauty tip that I should incorporate into my skincare routine?
157
I think it's all about the consistency Consistency.
158
It's the dedication that they put.
159
I don't think it has anything to do with anything.
160
There's no secret magic, I don't believe.
161
It's the fact that they care so much and they are dedicated to keep their skin healthy is the key for me.
162
And I say this to all my friends and everyone, but...
163
Drink lots of water.
164
Drink lots of water and then I got to wear that mask every day.
165
Yeah.
166
Daily.
167
Okay, this one is yellow.
168
you I'm going to go to the next one.
169
you Hmm.
170
Thank you.
171
you I'm just so good!
172
Oh my god!
173
I don't know what I was afraid of.
174
You had this dog inside you the whole time.
175
I'm so surprised.
176
I have been talking about coming on this show for the past two weeks.
177
Like, guys.
178
Nervous about it.
179
I was telling all my friends, I'm going on at once and I don't like spicy food.
180
I don't know what to do.
181
but All you had to do is face it.
182
Exactly.
183
You know, you psych yourself up.
184
You know, we build these walls ourselves.
185
We do.
186
But you just had to come into the studio, throw down on some waves.
187
You face it.
188
I'm almost kind of disappointed, Sean.
189
Ooh.
190
I had high hopes.
191
Well, let's see.
192
I'm wearing waterproof mascara.
193
I'm kidding.
194
Um.
195
So this one is called Apricot.
196
Okay.
197
I don't love the name.
198
Emphasis on the heart.
199
I can see it right there on the label.
200
Mm -hmm.
201
We get a good bite.
202
There is definitely some spice in my mouth,
203
but I can deal with it. So, yeah.
204
Can you give me two things you love and one thing you don't about being a hamster mom?
205
Two things I love?
206
And one thing you don't.
207
- Yeah.
208
First of all, They are adorable and so funny to look at and fluffy is number one.
209
Second part is you get to feed them, which is also really fun. and cute.
210
And one thing I don't like about it is they are constantly, constantly running on that wheel and does not stop.
211
Even if you want some peace of mind.
212
They're like, "No, I've got to do my cardio today." - Oh.
213
- This is...
214
Oh, we hear the thought...
215
- The bomb.
216
- The bomb.
217
Beyond insanity.
218
Take a photo in case this might be the last little weave that I take.
219
- Okay.
220
This one looks scary, too.
221
I know.
222
Oh no. This is no joke.
223
You're scrambling, trying to find something, anything over there.
224
That's smart.
225
Got a new napkin.
226
- Thank you.
227
This is...
228
I know.
229
Go ahead.
230
Get up.
231
Take a lap.
232
Do whatever you have to do.
233
Walk it out.
234
Just open that window and scream, you know, in times like these.
235
- That's alright. So...
236
I'm a big fan of the cooking tutorials that you do.
237
- Ah!
238
- I did!
239
- What's the key to folding a perfect Mandu?
240
Ah!
241
I think...
242
I need...
243
Take your time take your time.
244
I I've been pained!
245
Yeah, it's alright.
246
Let it out, let it out.
247
It's that moment, you know?
248
Is this the spiciest thing you've ever eaten in your life?
249
I thought he was like, "I got to sneak !" Guys!
250
Yeah, I know.
251
I got here anymore!
252
God help!
253
Help me!
254
There's no help!
255
There's no help.
256
You're just stuck on this YouTube show. For better or worse.
257
At times like these, definitely worse.
258
I'm no. Bye.
259
Shaking.
260
Yeah.
261
But you've made it so far.
262
But you've made it this far.
263
I have never.
264
eaten anything like that.
265
- Never.
266
- Yeah.
267
And probably never again.
268
I would never.
269
Hope My god!
270
Guys!
271
Guys!
272
Bantu.
273
Yeah.
274
I think the key is to just like squeeze it really well.
275
I'm so sorry I can't even speak.
276
I knew this would happen.
277
This is why I warned you people.
278
I am now unable to.
279
Here you go.
280
Here's some ice cream.
281
This is kind of nice in times like these.
282
- Okay.
283
I can't breathe.
284
And then just be careful around the eyes.
285
Just be careful around the eyes.
286
Don't touch the eyes.
287
Huh? Where am I?
288
You sent me home!
289
I want to go home!
290
I'm having trouble understanding English right now.
291
No, I get that, yeah. Does it?
292
Has anyone felt that I've ever-- You know what though?
293
I wouldn't be able to tell.
294
Jenny, I would not be able to tell.
295
Are you sure?
296
You know, I know what you're going through.
297
And the whole set, it's just all closing in on you.
298
It is.
299
Right?
300
It really is.
301
And the spice, it's attacking your brain, it's attacking the way that you think, it's attacking the way that you talk, and then here you are on this show, tethered to it, a hostage on Hot Ones.
302
I'm shivering.
303
I know, I know.
304
You and me both, with every wing, it's like a new thing is unlocked.
305
Wow.
306
Right?
307
But we also feel so alive.
308
We do.
309
You know?
310
Right?
311
- Or, Dead.
312
It's the stages of life.
313
- Yeah, exactly.
314
- Jenny, you know?
315
- Okay.
316
- Okay.
317
- I am okay now.
318
And now here's the problem with this show.
319
is that There's a storm, right?
320
And then the storm ends.
321
The rain ends.
322
and the clouds break.
323
and the sun comes through again.
324
But then the next wing.
325
If you're ready to move on.
326
I - I - I am gonna be brave.
327
You know, I'm here.
328
You're making me brave.
329
I'm catching it secondhand from you.
330
This one is called Sucker Punch.
331
Oh, I have a bad feeling.
332
Oh.
333
My body is shaking.
334
This might heat me back up, so...
335
I'm so scared.
336
I like that.
337
Always looking on the upright side.
338
- Okay.
339
- I'm sorry.
340
I love that.
341
I don't even know what I'm staring at at the moment.
342
By the way.
343
Oh no!
344
I know, I know.
345
Not fun.
346
It's here!
347
By any means.
348
It's here again.
349
He's here.
350
I get it, I know, I know.
351
Help! Has anyone died here?
352
No, no. Everyone makes a thrill.
353
- Fainted?
354
No, you'd be the first, but like let's stay on our feet.
355
Let's stay on our feet.
356
You got this.
357
Do you have a favorite capybara fun fact?
358
You know, I recently learned that they can stay under water for five minutes and then they'll sometimes sleep with their noses.
359
sticking out of the surface, like near the waters.
360
- They do that.
361
They do that.
362
Heavy waves are really...
363
It's so spicy!
364
It's so spicy!
365
I recently had one come to me for my music video.
366
They actually feel like a really big hedgehog.
367
But not as spiky Give me your perspective of that thing.
368
Okay, here's what I think.
369
Let's not dab.
370
Sometimes we'll open up the top, we'll dab it.
371
Let's chill on that, okay?
372
You've gone through enough.
373
But it's like...
374
But there's just one more, and like, think about it.
375
You'll go home tonight, you'll think about like, "Oh, I just had one more." I know.
376
I just had one more.
377
I hate that feeling, you know?
378
Right.
379
Exactly.
380
And we don't want that feeling.
381
Okay?
382
So maybe we just do like a little bite on Wing 10, you know.
383
What I'm now more surprised is When I was watching this show
384
I love to also Listen to the interviews that you were doing with your guest.
385
I'm giving you nothing here.
386
You've given me a lot.
387
I'm giving you tears and screams.
388
Those are great.
389
Are you sure?
390
Yeah, I mean, we've built an empire on that.
391
you Thank you.
392
you I came to conquer so I will.
393
I did not come here to give up.
394
The beauty of it is it looks so normal.
395
It looks so plain.
396
The power that it holds.
397
Yeah, you know what?
398
It's a metaphor even for the show, you know?
399
It's just this very simple black curtain set. But then...
400
The taste, the flavor of it all.
401
Those two, when I had it, This room felt like something else.
402
I sort of got like the colors of walls.
403
You entered a dream state, yeah.
404
Yeah.
405
Just say like a tiny little bit.
406
Yeah, a little tiny bit.
407
I'm going to go to the next one.
408
With that fight, Jenny, you have conquered the Hot Ones Gauntlet.
409
I'm tired! And join...
410
Rosé and Lisa is accomplished Hot Ones alum.
411
Do you have a message?
412
I think I'm allergic to spice!
413
I'm telling you my spine is like shaking on me!
414
Ugh!
415
Do you have a message for Jisoo?
416
Oh yes.
417
Like do you think you could convince her to come on the show?
418
100 % because she is the one who taught me spicy.
419
And she's the other you.
420
Like she made me eat spicy food with her.
421
Ever since we were Chinese.
422
So, I think Shizone should come on this show.
423
You're gonna love it.
424
Whatever Rosie and Lisa did, this is the real reaction.
425
They - I - 'cause I watched your episode and they were so chill about it, so I was like, "If they're doing it, maybe I could do it too." But I can't.
426
You can?
427
I can.
428
You can and you did.
429
Look at you, Jenny, taking on the wings of death, living to tell the tale, and now there's nothing left to do but roll out the red carpet for you.
430
I'm like shaking.
431
This camera, this camera, this camera.
432
Let the people know what you have going on in your life.
433
Bro, my five.
434
Mm -mm.
435
Bye.
436
There something has opened up in my nose and I got it.
437
- Okay.
438
This is not pretty at all.
439
But.. it's okay.
440
You make it look good.
441
Well, maybe I can help.
442
The new album's called "Ruby." Oh!
443
I was supposed to...
444
please, help me out.
445
The new album's called "Ruby" and it's out now.
446
Make sure you pick it up.
447
Because Jenny did not suffer in vain over here.
448
Wow!
449
I'm so happy, but I'm so sorry I was not able to answer most of your questions.
450
But I'm telling you...
451
I think from this one, From then on, it's just...
452
It's a party.
453
It's a party.
454
It's kicking me.

Why practice speaking with this video?
This YouTube video featuring Jennie from BLACKPINK provides an engaging and real-life context to practice English speaking. By watching her navigate the challenges of eating spicy food while discussing her music and inspirations, learners are exposed to natural conversation flow, emotional expression, and the ability to articulate thoughts under pressure. The mix of humor, fear, and excitement in her dialogue offers an invaluable opportunity to learn English with YouTube in a relatable setting. Engaging with this content helps to develop fluency and confidence in speaking, as it mirrors authentic communication scenarios.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
Throughout the conversation, there are several key structures and expressions that English learners can analyze:
- “I am very happy and excited and scared to be here.” - This construction showcases how to express a mix of emotions. It can be useful for learners to frame their feelings accurately in social situations.
- “I like things plain.” - This simple statement is an excellent example of expressing preferences, which is an important conversational skill.
- “Are you ready to get started?” - This question reflects a common way to initiate activities or discussions, thereby teaching learners about transitions in conversations.
- “I guess it just inspired me to look at myself in a different way.” - Here, the use of “I guess” introduces uncertainty or reflection, a useful phrase in personal narratives or storytelling.
- “If that makes sense.” - This phrase encourages active listener engagement and can help learners in confirming their ideas are understood by others.
Common Pronunciation Traps
While shadowing Jennie's speech, English learners should pay attention to the following pronunciation challenges:
- “Excited” vs “Scared” - The nuanced emotion here can lead to unclear pronunciation, particularly with the initial syllables. Practicing the distinction between these words can enhance clarity.
- “Facing my fear” - The blending of sounds can be tricky; learners should practice the fluidity of this phrase to improve their spoken rhythm.
- “Winging it” - This idiom may be pronounced too quickly. Focusing on the enunciation of each part can help avoid confusion.
Utilizing the concept of shadowspeak and shadow speech to practice these phrases can enhance learning and retention. Engaging with such content allows learners to master conversational skills in a dynamic and effective manner.

What is the Shadowing Technique?
Shadowing is a science-backed language learning technique originally developed for professional interpreter training and popularized by polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. The method is simple but powerful: you listen to native English audio and immediately repeat it out loud — like a shadow following the speaker with just a 1–2 second delay. Unlike passive listening or grammar drills, shadowing forces your brain and mouth muscles to simultaneously process and reproduce real speech patterns. Research shows it significantly improves pronunciation accuracy, intonation, rhythm, connected speech, listening comprehension, and speaking fluency — making it one of the most effective methods for IELTS Speaking preparation and real-world English communication.
