BLACKPINK member Jennie emerged as one of the most talked-about artists at the 40th Golden Disc Awards, earning widespread attention after repeatedly returning to the stage to accept multiple honors in a single night.

According to Xportsnews, the awards ceremony took place on January 10 at Taipei Dome, marking the event’s 40th anniversary and making history as the first Korean music awards show held at the venue. Hosted by singer Sung Si-kyung and actor Moon Ga-young, the night celebrated both current achievements and long-term influence in K-pop.

Jennie first appeared onstage after winning the Digital Song Bonsang for her solo track “Like Jennie.” During her acceptance speech, she expressed nervous excitement and thanked fans, her agency, and the team behind her album Ruby. She noted that it had been some time since she last attended the Golden Disc Awards and said she was grateful to reconnect with fans.

Shortly after leaving the stage, Jennie was called back to accept another Digital Song Bonsang on behalf of BLACKPINK for the group’s hit “Run,” which performed strongly on domestic and international charts in 2025. Representing the group alone, she acknowledged fellow members Jisoo, Rosé, and Lisa, and thanked producer Teddy for his continued support.

Jennie later returned a third time to receive the Global Impact Award, bringing her total wins for the night to three. BLACKPINK was also named to the Golden Disc Powerhouse 40 list, which recognizes artists who have significantly influenced Korean pop music over the past four decades.

Although she attended the ceremony without her bandmates, Jennie said she felt proud to represent the group and emphasized her desire to continue growing as an artist with a positive influence. Images of her repeatedly accepting awards quickly circulated online, fueling fan discussions and cementing the night as one of the most memorable moments of the awards show, as reported by Xportsnews.
