Former NMIXX member, Jinni, is causing a buzz with her recent comment about the group Kep1er.
On October 15, a post about Jinni started trending on Nate's community board, Pann, under the title, "JINNI DOESN'T KNOW KEP1ER." A screenshot from a Twitter user's video call with Jinni was shared, where they asked her about Kep1er.
During their chat, the Twitter user mentioned their favorite members in various K-pop groups, including Karina from aespa, Ahn Yujin from IVE, Jennie from BLACKPINK, and Sieun from STAYC.
However, when asked about Kep1er, Jinni surprised the user by saying she didn't know Kep1er at all, not even a single member.
The netizen who posted this remarked, "She even had a collaboration stage with Kep1er during MAMA, which is why the fan asked her?."
Other netizens had various opinions on the matter:
"It's okay if she doesn't know. Does she really need to know everyone?"
"But they did perform together, right?"
"I thought Jinni had a reaction video singing 'WA DA DA' during MAMA. How does she not know them?"
"I don't understand why fans ask these questions in the first place."
"Maybe she was put on the spot and couldn't think of an answer."
"It's okay if she doesn't know. Maybe she knows the group and a few songs but not the members."
"Who cares?"
"They probably prepared their collaboration stages separately."
"Maybe it's not that she doesn't know the group; it's just that there are so many members, nobody comes to her mind. Why are fans making a big deal out of it?"
"This is why I hope they stop asking 4th-gen idols about their biases. It just attracts haters."
