김제니/ Kim Jennie 

Jennie's name hides a truly special story.

Her mother is a die-hard fan of the famous Korean actor Lee Jung-jae. Who is Lee Jung-jae? He's none other than the lead male actor in the globally popular Netflix series “Squid Game.”

Her mother was so enchanted by a character named 재희(Jae-hee) played by Lee Jung-jae in a drama that if Jennie had been born a boy, she planned to name her son 재희(Jae-hee). However, when her beautiful daughter was born, she chose a similar-sounding girl's name, 제니(Jennie).

Recently, the name Jennie has become quite popular for baby girls. Its pronunciation is cheerful, bright, and carries a pleasant feeling. It also looks beautiful in Hangeul. Just hearing the name 제니(Jennie) gives a lovely and endearing feeling.

Many people think that Jennie is an English name, but interestingly, in her case, it's actually inspired by the Korean name 재희(Jae-hee)!

김지수/ Kim Ji-soo 

She is wise and superior to others.

Kim Jisoo is a common and gender-neutral name widely used in Korea, which means it can be used by both men and women. If you search 지수(Ji-soo) on Korea's leading search portals, you'll find a range of people, from women to men.
