South Korean singer Jennie, a member of BLACKPINK, filmed her new music video for “Less than a Lover” in Girona and on the Costa Brava. For residents and visitor-facing businesses in Girona, Begur and Palamós, the release puts recognisable streets and beaches before an audience that exceeded 12.4 million views within five days, according to Empordà.info.
The single and video were released on Friday 24 July 2026. Ràdio Capital de l’Empordà reported that the production uses Girona’s Barri Vell, or Old Quarter, and Sa Tuna beach in Begur as major settings.
Girona streets and Costa Brava coves appear in the video
Empordà.info reported that the first shots of Girona appear after the first minute. Jennie is shown with Taiwanese model Nah Kai, who plays her romantic interest, on the Pujada de Sant Domènec and at Cafè Le Bistrot.

Ràdio Capital de l’Empordà said the Sa Tuna sequences include the cove’s white houses, rocky bay and sea, while the video also shows walks, swimming, a boat trip and scenes by the shore.
A summer relationship that stops short of commitment
The video follows a relationship that approaches romance but does not become a committed one, according to Empordà.info. The song’s title reflects that premise: Jennie’s character seeks a relationship that is “less than a lover”.
“Less than a lover”.
Mashable Middle East reported that Jennie took part in writing the lyrics, music production and directing the video. Billboard Philippines also identified Girona as the setting for the summer-romance narrative featuring Jennie and Nah Kai.
Empordà.info reported that the video had accumulated more than 12.4 million YouTube views five days after its release.
