They love you so much.
20
Thank you so much for being here.
21
Thank you so much for having me here.
22
This is my first time doing anything like this on the talk show, so I'm very nervous.
23
And I'm so happy to meet you.
24
Oh, we are happy to have you.
25
Welcome to the happy place.
26
As you see, all we want to do is love on you.
27
They are already loving you, so take it all in, OK?
28
I was just telling everyone how amazing of a show that you have here.
29
And everyone working here, too, they make me feel so.
30
Welcome.
31
Nice.
32
I'm glad you're enjoying yourself.
33
OK, so let's talk about this.
34
Tell us, how long did you always want to be a pop star?
35
Huh.
36
I knew I wanted to be in the music industry.
37
I did not know what a pop star was at that time.
38
Yeah, because I would see them on stage, and everything looked so glamorous and fantastic.
39
I didn't really understand if I wanted to be that or doing shows on stage.
40
But I knew I wanted to get in there.
41
Nice.
42
Now, is it true you grew up in New Zealand?
43
Yes.
44
What was that like?
45
Yeah, so I went to school there from the age of 9 to 14.
46
Me, all I remember is when I first went, and I lived in a homestay too.
47
So my family weren't there.
48
And my mom told me I was crying for like the first two days.
49
And she was like, OK, she's too young.
50
It's not going to work.
51
The next day she calls me.
52
She's like, Mom, I don't miss you anymore.
53
I love it here.
54
Bye.
55
Just that quick?
56
Yeah, so quickly.
57
And I adjusted myself into my life out there.
58
And I loved every part of it, like the nature, the freedom.
59
And I was a happy child.
60
Well, that's good.
61
Yeah.
62
That's important.
63
Now talk to us about Blackpink.
64
Don't y'all want to hear about Blackpink?
65
So I heard you trained for six years to be a part of the group?
66
Six years.
67
What was that experience like?
68
Whoa.
69
Wow.
70
I don't even know where to begin.
71
But it was, you know, at that time it felt like such a long time.
72
I was like, when?
73
When is my time to, you know, get out to the world?
74
But now that I think back, all the trainings that I did, and it's basically like you're going to a school that is going to help you become a pop star.
75
So like from the moment you go to the studio academy, the place that we would train every day, like there's different types of vocal lessons, different types of dance lessons, language lessons.
76
And you're being taught how to, like...
77
Be a superstar.
78
Be a superstar.
79
Yes.
80
Yes.
81
So Blackpink is going on tour.
82
Mm-hmm.
83
What can they expect?
84
I can't say anything.
85
Uh-oh.
86
Don't ask me.
87
Uh-oh.
88
You know, there's still so much to do for us to make this happen.
89
And I'll have to wait to see it.
90
Yes.
91
Yes.
92
Come to the show.
93
Yeah.
94
Come to the show.
95
You'll see.
96
Right?
97
It's coming.
98
It's coming, guys.
99
It's coming.
100
I like that.
101
You seem so soft-spoken, but your stage presence is fierce.
102
Like, right, guys?
103
How do you channel that fierce energy?
104
Oh, my god.
105
The crazy part is I haven't figured it out yet.
106
I'm trying to figure out what triggers my switch.
107
And I do that on stage.
108
But I guess it's something that's in my body.
109
It's just in you.
110
I'm sure you relate.
111
Like, once I hear the music or once I zone in, just happens really naturally.
112
It's a gift that I appreciate and I love about myself.
113
I love that for you.
114
That is beautiful.
115
And you're also a rapper, too.
116
Did that come naturally, too?
117
You're so gifted.
118
Yeah, it's like you definitely don't see it when you see me like right now.
119
It happened actually in a quite funny way.
120
when we were in the trainee days, I was pretty much the only person that knew how to speak English pretty fluently.
121
And we were covering songs from all over the world.
122
They needed someone to speak it out fast and that makes it work.
123
So I was kind of...
124
I got into it for a funny reason because I was the only one who was able to speak the English, the language.
125
Then at the end, I started being like, being like, OK, I get this.
126
And let me try to work on how I can really be the rapper myself, not just by covering other people's verses.
127
And then from then on, it's actually the most fun when I'm performing and rapping.
128
Like, yeah.
129
You enjoy that a lot.
130
Yeah, I really enjoy it.
131
OK, let's talk about your fashion, because you already look to me right now.
132
Yeah.
133
No, I love how we're.
134
This is dedicated to you.
135
But I feel like we're so matching.
136
I love it.
137
I'm going to have to steal these stockings.
138
That's fierce.
139
This is such a good look.
140
What's your favorite look that you've worn?
141
Or do you have one?
142
Is it a lot of them?
143
There are so many of them.
144
But recently, I released a video called Zen.
145
Yes, this is such a special song to me from this album, and I had so many messages and visuals that I've created from the moment when I got into the studio with the song.
146
So we wanted to do crazy looks in the video, and we managed to pull, is that six outfits?
147
Yeah, six outfits in one video.
148
And I love every single one of them.
149
So good.
150
Yeah.
151
So good.
152
Oh, my goodness.
153
You're making huge moves.
154
Congratulations on your debut album, Ruby.
155
Thank you.
156
You're not doing this.
157
What can you wait for people to hear?
158
I want to say all 15 songs.
159
But some songs are personal.
160
Some songs are just amazing to listen to when you're driving, when you're out in the party.
161
And I wanted to create something that was a little bit of everything for my fans to enjoy in every moment so they can't get me out of their head.
162
Yes.
163
They can already.
164
Yeah, so I want to say all 15 songs.
165
I want everyone to hear all of them and just enjoy them.
166
And you have some collabs with Dolce.
167
Are you excited about that?
168
What was it like working with her?
169
Oh my gosh, she is amazing.
170
She's, she's.
171
She is amazing.
172
I can't wait.
173
Let me, yeah.
174
Oh, she's the sweetest, nicest, the most talented, and so much fun working with her.
175
Like, we would add on different details from what we both want.
176
And we wanted to share and make sure we feel good about it with each other and from making the song into what might come together.
177
Yeah, it was just an experience, amazing.
178
I'm mumbling because it's so good.
179
But yeah, I'm so excited.
180
It was so much fun.
181
Like, I love you, Dochi.
182
You guys performed at Coachella with Blackpink, right?
183
This year.
184
But this year, you're going to take the stage to yourself soon.
185
What are you looking for?
186
How does that feel?
187
Wow, still feels very, very unreal.
188
I can't get my head around it.
189
I was so lucky to have had my experience as Blackpink at Coachella.
190
And it's one of my favorite moments in my life.
191
You know?
192
Yes, that's a big stage.
193
And I can't believe I get to now have my own stage as a solo artist.
194
And I'm just excited for people to see more of me.
195
I'm just going to have a great time.
196
Yes.
197
Have fun.
198
That's a huge accomplishment.
199
Congratulations on that.
200
That is major.
201
OK, let's have a little fun.
202
Let's talk snacks.
203
OK?
204
I want to show you a few of my Chicago favorites.
205
And then I want you to show me some of your Korean snacks.
206
Yes, I brought a few.
207
What do we have here?
208
These are just like the classic, classic Korean snacks that everyone enjoys.
209
These two are like seafood based, kind of.
210
I don't know if you guys have anything like this out here, but this is obviously a shrimp one.
211
And this is a shape of ocean creatures.
212
Which one do I taste?
213
But I want to actually go with this one.
214
So this is cool.
215
That's your favorite?
216
That's my favorite.
217
This is called a banana kick.
218
Banana kick?
219
Banana kick.
220
So it's going to taste like a banana?
221
Yes.
222
But in a way that you wouldn't expect a banana would taste.
223
That sounds good.
224
Do you ever mix them?
225
No?
226
When I'm feeling crazy, yes.
227
Oh.
228
I go from the seafood to bananas.
229
OK.
230
But today.
231
I may love this.
232
Hold on.
233
That is different.
234
Right?
235
You know, the texture of it is very, I don't know.
236
I'm really bad at explaining.
237
Can I have one more, Jen?
238
Yes.
239
Okay, I'll try one more.
240
Yes, okay.
241
I'm taking this as a good sign.
242
It is a good sign.
243
I'm gonna try another one, Jenny.
244
Oh my God.
245
What else you got for me?
246
No, I want you to do this one.
247
OK.
248
This is called ,, which means whale meal.
249
Whale meal?
250
Wait.
251
Wait.
252
Jenny?
253
You mean a whale food?
254
Yeah.
255
A whale food?
256
Yeah.
257
A whale food.
258
Yeah, it doesn't make a difference.
259
I'm going to just eat it.
260
Let me see.
261
Yeah, try it.
262
Is this your second favorite one?
263
Not really.
264
I'm going to be honest.
265
I don't know, Jenny.
266
I like this one.
267
This one tastes good.
268
It's like it's familiar from what we know.
269
It's just shaped in an interesting way.
270
Y'all may want to try them.
271
Well, you don't have to send me some of these.
272
I'm going to take this, baby.
273
Thank you.
274
Oh, yay.
275
OK, I'll keep eating this one.
276
OK, now, Jenny, I got one of my Chicago treats for you.
277
This is caramel and cheese popcorn.
278
Wait.
279
Oh.
280
Caramel and cheese popcorn.
281
Mm-hmm.
282
Can I go in?
283
You can go in.
284
I got your snack.
285
You can have mine.
286
OK.
287
But you want to put them together.
288
Together, I'm guessing.
289
See, because they hug the taste buds.
290
OK.
291
Eat them.
292
Yes.
293
Oh, my god.
294
You don't want to share this with your friends.
295
OK.
296
You don't want me to send it to the whole Blackpink.
297
Trust me.
298
Glad to sit on them taste buds.
299
It's coming.
300
It's coming together.
301
It's coming together.
302
Mm-hmm.
303
You see where I'm going with this?
304
I see.
305
Oh, my goodness.
306
We could trade snacks any day, OK?
307
Yes.
308
Mm-hmm.
309
Oh my God.
310
See, I told you.
311
Oh my God.
312
I told you.
313
OK, I get it.
314
It's so good.
315
It's really good.
316
Why don't they have this like everywhere?
317
I know.
318
In the theaters and cinemas.
319
You got to go to Chicago for that.
320
Do they have that in Chicago cinemas?
321
No, but you could sneak it in.
322
Can I?
323
OK.
324
You could sneak it in.
325
And maybe I could send, you know, Blackpink some.
326
I need to let everyone on this in Blackpink.
327
OK.
328
Let them know.
329
Until then, you can keep on snacking.
330
But I want to be able to impress you guys.
331
Can you teach me some Korean language at home?
332
I want to learn some things.
333
What you got for me?
334
While I snack.
335
You know what?
336
I think while like.
337
It's good, right?
338
It's really good.
339
I think while we're on the subject of snack and eating, I think you should say .
340
Mashito.
341
Mashito.
342
Mashito.
343
It's like, it tastes good.
344
Ah!
345
Oh, goodness, it tastes good.
346
You're saying it in the perfect pronouncing.
347
Am I saying it?
348
Yes, yes, you're saying it perfectly.
349
Thank you.
350
Yeah.
351
Jenny's new debut album, Ruby, is out now.
352
Everywhere you string music.
353
Now, Jenny, you actually have some fans in the holding room.
354
Do you mind if we go wave at them and say hello?
355
Yes, let's go.
356
Let's go.
357
Happy, happy happy!!
358
Bye.

Why practice speaking with this video?
Practicing speaking with this engaging interview video can significantly enhance your English communication skills. The relaxed and authentic setting allows you to hear how native speakers interact, express emotions, and convey thoughts. By using the shadowspeak technique, which involves mimicking the speech patterns of the interviewee, you can improve your fluency and pronunciation in a natural context. This context is especially beneficial since it includes elements of enthusiasm and genuine interaction, making your practice feel more immersive and relevant.
Grammar & Expressions in Context
The transcript provides several key structures and expressions that can be useful for English learners. Here are a few examples:
- I love you. – A simple yet powerful expression that conveys affection. It can be useful to learn how to express emotions effectively.
- Thank you so much for being here. – This phrase shows gratitude. Understanding how to express thanks is essential in everyday conversations.
- I knew I wanted to be in the music industry. – This indicates a strong desire and intention, framed in the past tense. Students can practice using different tenses to discuss their goals and aspirations.
- Take it all in. – A common idiomatic expression that means to fully absorb an experience. Learning such idioms can add depth to your speaking abilities.
Incorporating these phrases into your speaking practice using a shadowing app can enhance your conversational skills.
Common Pronunciation Traps
As you engage with the video, be attentive to particular words and phrases that may be tricky to pronounce. Here are a few pronunciation points to focus on:
- “Oh, my God” – Pay attention to the intonation and emphasis in this phrase for expressing surprise or excitement. The rhythm is essential in making your speech sound natural.
- “Welcome to the happy place” – The vowel sounds in “welcome” and “happy” can be challenging; practicing these can improve your clarity.
- “P-p-pop star” – Notice the rapid consonant sounds; practicing this can help improve your overall speech fluency. Make sure to articulate clearly without rushing.
Utilizing the shadowing technique with this video will allow you to practice these pronunciation traps effectively. By repeating and mimicking the speaker's tones and styles, you can significantly improve your English pronunciation. Embrace these opportunities to learn, and over time, you’ll notice a remarkable improvement in your speaking abilities.
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.
