South Korean singer and rapper Jennie Kim, best known to K Pop fans as the vocalist of Blackpink, is devoted to her mother, but she will not speak of her father.

K Pop diva Jennie Kim is followed by over 77 million fans on social media, but she strives to keep her family and her personal life out of the limelight.

Little is known about Jennie Kim's parents, especially her father, of whom she never speaks, but she has a sweet and loving relationship with her youthful mom.

Jennie Kim was born an only child in Seoul, Korea, on January 16, 1996. At 15, she became an artist-in-training with YG Entertainment and collaborated with several label artists.

In 2016, she became part of the K Pop girl group Blackpink with Kim Jisoo, Roseanne Park, and Lalisa Manobal. The group was an instant chart-topping success.

With several Guinness world records, the group is also the most watched, with the Blackpink YouTube channel garnering an incredible 30 billion views worldwide. It is the most streamed female group on Spotify, with 8.8 billion streams.

In 2018, the Dua Lipa fan debuted her first album, "Solo," which was an instant #1 hit, with over 300 million views of its music video. With so many eyes on her, Jennie Kim has still managed to keep her personal life private.

Jennie Kim Lived with Her Mother in South Korea but Resided Alone in New Zealand from 10 to 15

When she was a child, Jennie accompanied her mother on vacation to Australia and New Zealand, and she and Mrs. Kim liked it so much, they decided she would be educated there. In 202, Jennie revealed:

"From 10 to 15, I lived in New Zealand by myself. I never got to spend much time in the house with my mom until recently."

Jennie Kim and Her Sweet Relationship With Her Mom

Very little is known about Mrs. Kim, although some sources indicate she is a shareholder and director of the South Korean entertainment and mass media company CJ E&M.

In all her years as one of the most watched people in the world, Jennie has never spoken of her father or her relationship with him.

Jennie shields her mother's privacy, even though she does speak of her in interviews, and shares photos of their moments together on Instagram, including a vacation in Paris. Jennie also ensures none of the photos clearly show Mrs. Kim's face.

In May 2022, Jennie spoke about her relationship with Mrs. Kim to Rolling Stone and revealed that her mother was her biggest support. She said:

"My mom and I have a very close relationship, almost like sisters. I decided a few years ago that I wanted to spend more time with my mom. We started living together for the past year."

Jennie also joked that her mother had asked when she was moving out and confessed that she was ready to be alone after years of living in a dorm with Blackpink and now with her mother.

Jennie Kim Never Talks About Her Father

Jennie's sweet snaps with her mother show her hugging the youthful-looking Mrs. Kim, and she has paid tribute to her mother's strength and support in helping her achieve her dreams, but there is one person she never speaks of.

In all her years as one of the most watched people in the world, Jennie has never spoken of her father or her relationship with him. When she spoke of living with her mother, there was no indication of a paternal figure in the house.

Fans of Jennie Kim have wondered about her father, but the singer has never even mentioned his existence, let alone his name or any information about him.

It may be that her parents aren't together and Jennie hasn't been close to her father since early childhood, or the mysterious Mr. Kim may choose to be anonymous.
