CEO Na emphasized, "Princess Jenna possesses great potential and talent," adding, "Her dance skills surpass not only traditional Cambodian dance but also K-pop." She further noted, "Despite a busy schedule, Princess Norodom quickly acquires skills and is dedicated."

Princess Jenna is already active on the local entertainment stage. She has appeared on the 'Khmer TV' show and released a song titled "You Da One" in 2022.

Meanwhile, Princess Norodom Jenna was born in 2012 to Princess Norodom Bophary of the Cambodian royal family and a French father. Although her birthplace is Paris, France, she moved to Cambodia with her family around the age of three and joined the royal family. Due to this background, she is known to be fluent in several languages, including her native Khmer (Cambodian), Thai, Chinese, and French.
