In response to the reports, tvN confirmed the participation of Jennie and Lee Jung Ha in Apartment 404 and mentioned that broadcasting details are yet to be finalized.

Jennie’s recent activities
On October 4th, through the official BLACKPINK X handle, YG Entertainment revealed the new poster and release date for Jennie’s upcoming track, You & Me. Notably, this marks the third iteration of the song, following the BORN PINK and Coachella versions. The special single is set to be released on October 6, 2023, at 1 PM KST.
In a noteworthy development on August 9th, it was disclosed that Jennie’s You & Me had been officially registered by the American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers (ASCAP). Following the initial unveiling of the track during her BORN PINK performance in Seoul, she debuted a remix of the song at Coachella Valley Music and Arts, featuring an additional rap verse. ASCAP has recently included You & Me (Coachella Remix) in its listings. For those unfamiliar, ASCAP, or The American Society of Composers, Authors, and Publishers, is a nonprofit organization that grants performance rights to broadcasters, streaming services, and venues.
