Former NMIXX Member JINI Admits To Being a BLINK

BLACKPINK’s global success has not only contributed to the prominence of South Korea on the world stage but has also garnered a massive and unwavering fan base. Their dedicated fandom, known as BLINKs, stands by the group through every high and low. This loyalty has transcended ordinary fans and has also attracted fellow celebrities and idols, many of whom proudly declare their BLINK status.

In a recent interview with MAPS, Jini, a former member of NMIXX, openly discussed her admiration and respect for BLACKPINK. Her appreciation for the quartet signifies yet another idol who is not shy about expressing her affinity for the idol group.

“Well, there is a lot to learn from all the figures who have years of experience, so it’s hard to say just one person, but I definitely choose BLACKPINK sunbaenim! I think their charismatic stage appearances are really cool,” Jini said.

“One of the things that makes them special to me is their ability to put on a perfect performance while never missing an opportunity to communicate with their fans. When I see BLACKPINK’s performances I am really amazed, personally I am also a big fan,” she admitted.

BLACKPINK as Global Superstars

This growing list of idols who publicly declare themselves as BLINKs continues to expand. It has become a trend of sorts, leading fans and online communities to speculate about which celebrities or idols might be the next to fall under the charm and musical influence of BLACKPINK.

These public endorsements from fellow celebrities underscore the broad appeal and magnetic charisma of BLACKPINK. The music of the idol group transcends borders and genres, resonating with a diverse range of artists and fans, both in South Korea and worldwide. This phenomenon not only solidifies their global influence but also strengthens their reputation as trendsetters in the K-Pop industry.

JINI has just released her first EP ‘An Iron Hand In A Velvet Glove’ and the lead single C’mon (Feat. Aminé) on October 11, 2023.
