Jennie of K-pop girl group BLACKPINK is celebrating the first anniversary of her debut solo album, "Ruby," with a pop-up store in Seoul.

According to her agency ODD ATELIER, Jennie opened the pop-up "A Year in Ruby" on Thursday at The Hyundai Seoul in Yeouido, one of the capital’s busiest retail complexes. The pop-up will run through Wednesday.

The exhibition revisits the year since "Ruby" was released in March 2025, offering fans a chance to experience the album’s visual world in person.

It features a range of official merchandise originally released alongside "Ruby," including items that had not previously been available in Korea. They include T-shirts, socks, beanies, crewnecks, hoodies and other apparel, as well as accessories such as key chains, cups and physical albums.

Accoridng to visitors, anniversary content has also been displayed across the department store. A celebratory video marking the album’s one-year milestone is screened on the venue’s large digital display, while additional themed installations appear throughout the building.

Several costumes worn by the singer during album promotions are also on display. Among them is a stage outfit inspired by the golden crown of the ancient Silla Kingdom (57 B.C.-A.D. 935), which gained attention following the release of "ZEN." Another highlight is the dramatic veil she wore during the 2025 Melon Music Awards, embroidered with Hangeul lyrics.

The pop-up came one day before Jennie released a special album titled "Ruby (The Complete Collection)." The new edition includes a remix of the track "Like JENNIE," which previously drew strong fan reactions when it was performed during year-end award shows.

It also highlights Jennie’s solo vocals through "JENNIE Only Audio" versions of the tracks "Handlebars," "ExtraL," "Love Hangover" and "Damn Right."
