According to group-mate Jisoo, she is also responsible for the general organisation and group decision making.

She further explained that a lot of things had to be done every month, she had to prepare outfits, songs, make the accompaniment, and practice the choreography. Regarding her trainee life, Jennie also said she had to film videos of herself rapping, singing, popping and krumping every week for mid-term evaluations as well. (source: Wikipedia)
