She shared that not knowing how to care for herself properly ended up causing a lot of problems.

Idol says she avoids heels to perform better

Jennie also shared during the podcast that one of the things she does to prioritise her health better is to avoid heels while performing. She pointed out that they bring her a lot of pain and are not suitable for her if she wishes to perform well for everyone.“Something like, I just don’t do well in heels; some people are amazing in heels. I, being like one of the shortest girls in the group, cannot work with heels; my feet aren’t built for heels. Even though I try, and sometimes when I’m feeling perfectly fine with my body [but] when I’m like travelling so much, and my body is all bloated, and my feet are so bloated, if I try to dance in heels, my stamina just goes down because I know it’s uncomfortable for me,” the idol shared with Lipa.Jennie then continued, stating that “Stuff like that, I’ve wanted to come clean – not come clean but share with my fans that I’m still at a point where I’m learning about myself, if anything, so let me be the person to share me from now on.”
