BLACKPINK’s Jennie is all set to return to variety shows with her upcoming guest appearance in My Name is Gabriel. With stars like Park Bo Gum, Ji Chang Wook, Dex, and more, the show premiered in June. The rumors of her appearance initially emerged in March but her agency then denied saying that the K-pop idol is focusing on her new solo music.

On September 3, JTBC confirmed that Jennie is set to make a special appearance in the channel’s variety program My Name is Gabriel. The channel has already unveiled her character poster, showcasing the BLACKPINK member’s refreshing charm as farmhouse owner Maria. According to the production team, the K-pop idol is set to pose as the Italy farmhouse’s 96-year-old owner for 72 hours, engaging in different activities such as picking up guests, preparing banquets, cooking, and taking classes to sharpen her kitchen skills.

Her appearance will broadcast on episodes 13 and 14, which are set to release on September 27 and October 4 respectively. The poster is raising anticipation for her cameo in My Name is Gabriel. In particular, fans are excited to witness her living as someone else on the other side of the globe.
