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."

What are your thoughts?

BTS’s Jimin is showing no signs of slowing down as a solo artist! His second album, MUSE, and its title track, Who, continue to dominate the U.S. Billboard charts, cementing his place as one of K-pop’s biggest global stars.

In the latest Billboard update (December 28), Jimin’s hit song Who ranked 47th on the Hot 100, marking its impressive 22nd consecutive week on the chart. This makes Who the longest-charting song by a Korean solo artist, surpassing the record previously set by Psy’s Gangnam Style. And it’s not just that—Who is the first K-pop solo song to spend its first 22 weeks in the Hot 100’s Top 60.

But the success doesn’t stop there. Jimin’s album MUSE, which includes Who, also continues to shine. It’s ranked 136th on the Billboard 200, securing its 22nd week on the chart. This makes MUSE the only K-pop album released in 2024 to have stayed on the chart for such a long period.

On top of that, Who has been making waves on several other Billboard charts. On the Streaming Songs chart, it holds the No. 32 spot, marking its 22nd week. This achievement makes it the second-longest-charting K-pop track, just behind Gangnam Style. The song also stays strong on the Global 200 and Global (Excluding U.S.) charts, sitting at No. 25 and No. 30, respectively.

The success of Who is also reflected in MUSE’s performance. The album recently reclaimed the No. 1 spot on the World Albums chart and is currently at No. 2. MUSE has now extended its record as the second-longest-charting K-pop solo album, just behind Jimin’s first solo album, FACE (which charted for 63 weeks).

These accomplishments have earned Jimin praise from U.S. media outlet AsianEAC, which dubbed him a “living legend.” They highlighted that Jimin achieved all these milestones despite having “no promotions in the U.S. during the Christmas season, no high-profile collaborations, and while serving his military duty.”

Jimin’s success is a true testament to his talent and global impact!
