Jennie Kim isn’t just attending the party—she’s running it. The BLACKPINK star and solo powerhouse has been officially confirmed as the headliner for ComplexCon Hong Kong 2026. The event hits the AsiaWorld-Expo on March 21–22, and the hype is already through the roof. This isn’t just another stage. It’s a massive win for the industry.
According to Forbes, Jennie will be the first global female solo artist to headline any edition of the ComplexCon festival. She is scheduled to close out the Complex Live! concert on March 22. It’s the grand finale act, and she’s sharing the headlining bill with American hip-hop artist Yeat.
A Collision of Music, Art, and Streetwear
The 2026 festival marks ComplexCon’s third year in Hong Kong. This time, the event tapped Kasing Lung as Artistic Director to blend immersive art with exclusive streetwear drops. Fans are already speculating that Jennie will drop a limited-edition merch collaboration. Most think it will happen under her own independent label, Odd Atelier (OA).
“Jennie is one of the most influential artists of the era. She is a singer, rapper, actor, and fashion icon with global influence,” the official ComplexCon HK site shared.
Defining the ‘Winter 2026’ Fashion Aesthetic
Beyond the music, Jennie Kim’s fashion 2026 influence is already moving the needle. As we move into the winter months, insiders are noticing a shift toward “cozy-maximalism.” Jennie is the main reason oversized knits are back. She’s been pairing chunky, baggy sweaters with relaxed trousers for her signature off-duty look.
- Lemon-Yellow Accents: Winter palettes are usually dark and moody. But Jennie is popularizing “lemon-yellow” as the breakthrough accent color for the season.
- Oversized Knits: Chunky knitwear is now the “it” staple for airport fashion and street style.
- CEO-Chic: Through Odd Atelier, Jennie is leaning into a polished aesthetic that blends luxury with an independent edge.
The K-Pop Style Synergy: Jennie vs. Wonyoung
The fashion world is also buzzing about how different K-pop generations are dominating luxury niches. Jennie continues her reign as the “Human Chanel,” mixing high fashion with streetwear. Meanwhile, IVE’s Jang Wonyoung is going viral for her Miu Miu Winter 2026 looks.
The contrast is striking. Jennie does “effortless cool” with her oversized knits, while Wonyoung sticks to “preppy-glam” layering. Fans are calling it the “Chanel vs. Miu Miu” effect. Both idols are currently owning social media feeds and retail trends across Asia.
Road to March 2026: Tickets and Anticipation
Public ticket sales for the AsiaWorld-Expo finale go live on February 3, 2026. With Jennie’s solo era in full swing, BLINKs are desperate to see her setlist. Will she perform unreleased tracks? Will her wardrobe blend Chanel legacy with OA’s experimental style? We’ll find out soon.
All eyes will be on her airport arrival in Hong Kong this March. If her recent style choices are any indication, expect plenty of lemon-yellow knits to sell out worldwide within minutes.
