Jennie’s Raw Performance of “Twin”
Wearing a satin black blouse and denim jeans, Jennie was the focal point of the evening, but it was the performance of Twin that made an impact. With the sincere lyrics, “Can you just bear with me?”, she sang with passion. We were ten years in / And young and dumb and innocent, my friend / But I knew all along that we were both wrong,” Jennie’s voice quivered, and tears welled up in her eyes. The audience could sense her vulnerability as she sang with all her heart.
The intimate tone of Twin resonated with internet fans, most of whom could identify with the feeling of yearning and loss in the lyrics. It wasn’t only the emotional depth of the song that touched fans, but the fact that Twin wasn’t a love song—it was a tribute to a past friendship of Jennie’s. Some fans theorized that Jennie was possibly singing about her past idol friend, Chahee.
