The music video for JENNIE's #SOLO is beautiful, it's a visual explosion, and it has that 2nd-gen K-pop print, a story line.

But there's more to that. The clever screenplay for the music video is something you wouldn't want to overlook. Here's why.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
Note: The MV brilliantly uses colors to represent emotions.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK @ygofficialblink
1. The video opens with Jennie wearing a blue dress.

Also notice the colors of this frame, how the temperature is cooled down.

The takes reference to the popular notion that blue is the color of loneliness.
#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
2. We then see Jennie walking out of the gates.

This signifies that she's trying to walk out of a place or situation where she has been in for a long period of time. Or that she's walking out of a past relationship.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
3. In the next shot, we see Jennie breaking off a 'pink' bracelet.

This is her cutting off ties with her past relationship.

The pink in the music video signifies the memories and the time she'd spent with her former lover.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
4. In the next shot, we see Jennie waking up and taking her eye mask off.

This signifies how she was merely dreaming/being blinded by her idea of a perfect relationship and that she's finally waking up to the truth that it isn't.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @ygofficialblink
Notice how she's also surrounded by pink. (Look at the walls and the sheets)

As mentioned earlier, the pink symbolizes the memories of her past relationship. This means that those memories still linger, and are still invading her thoughts.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
5. We see JENNIE tearing off pages of a blue-colored book entitled 'LOVE STORIES' while sitting on a chair above the water surface.

This scene, she realizes that their relationship was 'not a touching love story' (hence the color of the book).

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
And JENNIE sitting above the water surface takes reference to the popular line, 'Keep your head above water'. The water embodies the struggles she's had to go through with the past relationship, which also explains why her hair is damp.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
But despite her efforts of trying to break free from the horrors of the relationship (as you can see with the strong gaze she's holding), the loneliness and sorrow still lingers in her, hence the blue eye shadow and the blue dress.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
And notice how she's in the middle of the pool.

This signifies her vulnerability. This means that one small move and she will be back drowning in the painful memories of their relationship.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
6. JENNIE carefully treads along the edge of the waters. Notice that she's now wearing yellow.

This scene signifies how she tries to move forward. How she tries to rush her happiness despite her vulnerability (being close to water).

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
7. This next scene signifies that the lingering memories of the past relationship are making it hard for her to move on. Hence the chaotically scattered pink roses and the floral-printed dress.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
The clock at the back symbolizes how she's lost track of time, how she feels as if she's been stuck with the lingering memories for so long.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
8. JENNIE dancing in an empty dance hall.
Notice how the scene is almost monochromatic, it's seemingly dull.

- This signifies her determination to move forward despite the dullness and the loneliness that she feels.
#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
9. We see JENNIE enter a laundromat in a pink dress.

This scene is a compelling one as this is where we see the persona's boldness and anger start to rise.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
She takes off her pink dress, then proceeds to try and literally wash away the memories of the past relationship.

But she'll later on learn that forgetting those memories is not the right way of dealing with heartbreak.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
This scene also reveals the black underneath the pink dress. This is her anger and resentment showing upon trying to rush the process.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
But notice how although the pink is now replaced with black, the color blue still surrounds her. (The walls and the machines) this means that despite the anger, the loneliness still lingers.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
Also notice in the rap part, there's 'snow' falling on her and the picture mounted on the wall at the back is that of a winter scene.

This depicts how her heart has gone cold with the hatred and resentment that she feels.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
Note the outfit change. From that pink dress, she now wears a much bolder outfit. This signifies her hatred, resentment, and anger.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
10. And because she's dealing with that heartbreak the wrong way, the moment she sees him again, all the memories come flooding back. Hence the pink dress and the pink lights in the background.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
And the dark blue eye shadow symbolizes how the sight of him also brings back the 'blue in her eyes'.

Also notice how everyone else disappears, as if the only thing that she sees is her past lover now cozying up with someone new.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
11. The build up of negative emotion envelopes her. Her throwing off the bike to the side and hopping on to the car could signify the amplification of those negative emotions.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
12. These next scenes depict how she is being overwhelmed by those negative emotions.

The red dress, the explosion of different colors in the dark sky, but there's this one scene that shows this best...

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
13. We see her dancing under a tunnel.
This takes reference from another famous line, 'There's light at the end of the tunnel'
Notice how the end of the tunnel is already seen behind her.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
This scene shows how she's nearing the end of that tunnel, but she's too overwhelmed with her mixed emotions (thus the colorful tunnel and the multi-colored dress).

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
14. In this next shot, we see JENNIE looking at herself in the mirror.

This scene shows how she' finally doing a self reflection, hence the mirror.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
15. In these frames, we see JENNIE takes a break from dancing and takes deep breathes while looking up above.

These shows how she's finally taking her time to deal with those emotions.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
16. This is a beautiful and compelling scene.

She finally realizes that she has to deal with those negative emotions by herself. 'I should be true to myself'

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
JENNIE leaving the car signifies how she's letting go or getting out of that overwhelming amount of resentment.

Referring to the bike scene earlier in the music video, and how the car amplifies that resentment.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
Notice how the scene is shot after dark in an empty alley. We also see a mural with different colors.

This shows that dealing with the build up of those negative emotions can be a dark and difficult process.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
What makes this scene more beautiful is that, as she finally deals with the negative emotions shrouding her, we see the white underneath slowly unravel.

(Referring to the dress she's wearing underneath the jacket)

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
This white color embodies the 'peace' that she so craves.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
17. In the next scene, We see JENNIE on the car, looking above the bright skies, wearing angel wings.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
This signifies how this time, she's at peace with her emotions and how she's just 'along for the ride' or just taking her time while being in the process of healing. And this time, we get to see her genuine smile.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
She has this desire to fly high but she can't do that right away and she understands that. Thus...

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
We hear the line, 'Now I'm going slow-mo'
And we see JENNIE in a dance hall but this time, she's with back-up dancers.

#JENNIE #BLACKPINK @BLACKPINK
This means that she is finally taking her time and is slowing things down. She now understands that healing cannot be rushed and that she shouldn't fret.

Because she is not alone in the journey to healing. ♡
