• "They did a collab before, right?" — Former NMIXX member Jinni surprises netizens by not recognizing Kep1er

    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."

    BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

    On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

    Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
