On November 26, multiple media outlets reported that the global superstar would appear as a special guest panelist on the hit dating reality series Transit Love 4 (also known as EXchange), which is one of Korea’s most-watched and most-discussed relationship shows.
The appearance marks Jennie’s first variety show guest spot in months, following her well-received episode on tvN’s You Quiz On The Block earlier this year. According to reports, Jennie, who is currently performing on BLACKPINK’s global tour, plans to film her segment during the group’s month-long break in December.
The news immediately began trending online, attracting attention not just from fans of Jennie or BLACKPINK, but from countless viewers who don’t even follow the series.
Netizens flooded social media with reactions ranging from playful shock to genuine curiosity. “Will she talk about sensitive topics? It’s only fun if you talk about dating and relationships; otherwise, it’s no fun,” commented a fan. “The panel was so boring, but after hearing Jennie would be appearing, I’m excited,” exclaimed another.
“I thought she was appearing on the show as a participant for a second there!” wrote a fan. “She truly suits the panel for the show,” remarked another.
“OMG I thought she was a participant on the show LOL,” a fan was confused. “This is so unexpected, I love it,” and “I can’t wait!” exclaimed others.
Many fans admitted they initially misunderstood the announcement, momentarily believing Jennie would join as one of the cast members living in the house.
Transit Love is known for its emotional intensity, unfiltered discussions, and gripping format. The reality show brings together ex-couples who previously broke up for various reasons and places them under one roof to confront old wounds, re-examine past relationships, and possibly find new love.
