Jeon and her family practiceKorean Buddhism.[4] She has stated that she holds three passports to South Korea, Canada and the Netherlands.[92]
As a child, Jeon enjoyed expressing herself through clothes and fashion.[93] Her personality extended to her own style, including aLouis Vuitton bag she customized with a drawing of a unicorn, which she believed resembles herself. Jeon commented, "I like monogram patterns and colors. When I think of the monogram bag my mother carried about 10 years ago, I still think it's cool."[94] For her single "What You Waiting For", Jeon was involved in the planning and styling process for her music video and worked closely with Serian, the current director ofVogue Korea.[93] She selected looks portraying confidence and chose to wield a sword in the video to complete the "badass" look, with a hidden meaning relating to her birth name "Ennik", which means "sword" in Old Dutch/Old Frisian.[93][94] Jeon also often invests her time inDIY projects, enjoying taking clothing apart, putting the pieces back together, tearing them apart again, and repeating the process again as part of her experiments.[95]
"Outta My Head" is a mid-tempoR&B b-side track from the debut single album,Birthday, which marked her first-ever self-composition and embarked her role as a singer songwriter.[96]
Jeon began songwriting in her third year in middle school. Her first self-composed release, "Outta My Head" (어질어질), was written while promoting as a member ofI.O.I.[16] She was casually humming the tune following her move to The Black Label, and Teddy asked if she had come up with it. With encouragement and help from in-house producer 24,[97] the initially bright melody turned into a mid-tempoR&B song and was included on her debut single album,Birthday.[98]
Jeon usually records two versions of songs she writes, each in a different language. After grasping the "feel" of the song in English, the lyrics are changed to Korean. She explained, "For example, if the lyric is 'orange', it will be changed to 'how long' (in Korean), making similar pronunciations". The original lyrics to the hook of her single "Dumb Dumb" were "Imma say it like it is / cut the bullsh*t / you dumb dumb"; in the official version, they have been translated to Korean.[99] Jeon attributed the longer wait between comebacks to this recording process and vouched it improves the result.[100]
As a soloist under The Black Label, Jeon has gained greater artistic and creative control over her music and career. She stated, "There are a lot of great producers, songwriters, creatives and people I truly respect here. I've matured both professionally and personally a lot by learning from them and seeing how they do things up close. But there is still a lot to go. I'm still definitely learning".[93] She credits Teddy as an important mentor in her growth as a songwriter: "Every songwriter and producer has their own way to express themselves artistically and Teddy is helping me to find my own way."[93]
During her childhood, Jeon's favorite musicians wereCyndi Lauper,Rihanna, and2NE1.[99] Growing up, Jeon also listened to the music of South Korean singerSeo Taiji, whom she described as an artist who "rocked the music industry", thanks to her mother's influence.[101] Jeon also credited her father for introducing music from various countries and listened to music on cassette tapes because of her grandmother.[94] Jeon also citesLee Hyori as a role model in her career as a female soloist; Lee showcased multiple different concepts throughout her career, ranging from mature to bright, which Jeon views as an inspiration for her own image as an artist.[102]1TYM leader and CEO ofThe Black Label,Teddy Park, was another key mentor and influence named by Jeon. She shared that "Teddy is without a doubt, the most successful songwriting and composing figure in K-pop, period.Period. When I first saw him, it was like seeing a unicorn up close [...] I was in awe because growing up I used to listen to his music and dream of becoming a singer [...] One piece of advice Teddy gave me was to not only just focus on being a great singer and musician, but also focus on being a great person and that's what I exactly aim to be."[93]
Her time as anI.O.I member contributed to her "Human Vitamin" image, which is also often referenced as one of many reasons she was considered for the endorsement offers she has received.[95] She became the muse for Japanese skincare brandHada Labo[103] and cosmetics brands Kiss Me[104] andShiseido Korea, where she was also appointed as brand ambassador.[105] Jeon also became a model for skincare brand COSRX.[106] She has since become a brand spokesperson for ABC Mart's shoe brand Nuovo[107] and was selected as an endorsement model for Beanpole Sports[108] and fashion brand United Colors of Benetton Korea.[109] In February 2022, she became the brand ambassador forConverse.[110] In May 2023, she became an ambassador forThe North Face.[111] Outside of the beauty and fashion industries, Jeon was selected as a model forNongshim's snack Petit Paris Rollbread[112] and hangover product HK inno.N.[113][114] Jeon has also been invited to participate in campaigns forFanta,[115]Reebok (Classic SS18 campaign, "Always Classic"),[116]Louis Vuitton (2021 Eyewear Global Campaign),[117] andPrada's Eternal Gold line.[118]
