On April 15 (local time), U.S. newsmagazine Time published its list of the “2026 100 Most Influential People in the World” on its website. Jennie was the only K-pop artist named to this year’s list.
The Time 100 recognizes people worldwide for influence, innovation and achievement across fields.
Jennie’s recent results have also drawn attention. Her first full-length solo album, “Ruby,” was included in Rolling Stone’s “The 100 Best Albums of 2025.” She also ranked No. 1 on Forbes Korea’s “KOREAN IDOLS OF THE YEAR 2025.”
Her chart performance has been notable as well. “Dracula (JENNIE Remix),” a collaboration with Tame Impala, reached a career-high No. 17 on Billboard’s Hot 100. The track also topped Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart, a first for a K-pop female solo artist.
The song was also nominated for Song of the Summer at the 2026 American Music Awards.
Time’s full 2026 Time 100 list is available on the magazine’s official website.
