The music video for “Zen” incorporates rich elements of traditional Korean culture, reflecting Jennie’s pride in her heritage. The owl featured in the video, a Eurasian eagle owl, is native to South Korea.
The Solo singer’s outfits and accessories, especially the golden wing ornament, are inspired by ancient Korean royal artifacts from the Silla dynasty. Her fashion choices, including hairstyles reminiscent of Joseon-era styles, merge historical Korean aesthetics with a modern twist.
The lotus, which symbolizes purity and spiritual awakening, is also significant in Korean culture and Buddhism. The jewel imagery and traditional Korean hairpins seen in the video further connect the visuals to the star’s cultural roots. [Source]
