Princess Norodom Jenna of Cambodia has captivated many in China with her exceptional multilingual talent, beautiful singing voice, and elegant style.

Some have compared her to Blackpink’s Lisa and (G)I-DLE’s Minnie, two K-pop group members who are both from Southeast Asia and shining in South Korea.
Jenna was born in 2012 to Princess Norodom Bophary and a French businessman.
She is the great-granddaughter of Cambodia’s former King Norodom Sihanouk, who lived in China for decades and called the mainland his “second home”.
She is fluent in five languages, her native Khmer, Thai, Chinese, English, and French.
