We've mentioned this before but BLINKS truly are a fandom to be inspired by. The love they have for BLACKPINK aka Lisa, Jisoo, Rosé truly nullifies the hate that the popular South Korean girl group are sometimes directed to. Through Dear Eonni, BLINKS get a chance to share their admiration towards the members including the influence BLACKPINK has had on their lives with their music and individual personalities.
Today's sweet letter has been written by Senitha Velmurugan from India to Jennie. In her letter, Senitha reveals how watching Jennie's hit song Solo eventually led to her venturing into the world of BLACKPINK and K-pop, making her an Indian BLINK. Read her letter below:
Dear eonni,
I am SENITHA, a 15-year-old Indian BLINK, here's the story of how I became a BLINK:
I watched SOLO by JENNIE from BLACKPINK as it was in my YouTube recommendations, and came to know about K-POP in this quarantine but I didn't understand the starting part of this song as I am not Korean and the captions were off, but I really loved when the English parts came up, so I turned on the captions and understood the whole song and guess what, I started to hear that song like crazy, even though I don't know the correct pronunciation of the words, I was not embarrassed to scream the lyrics in front of my friends. Then, I started to watch so much JENNIE related videos and became a JENSETTER, as I was mesmerised by how she can rap so fiercely and how she changes her rap style for every song, how she can ace vocals even though she is the main rapper and how she can dance so good...I was very sad when I found out JENNIE is getting so much hate from her very own fandom, at that time I really want to hug JENNIE tightly and say "Don't worry JENNIE eonni, you are loved by so many people around the world, so don't care about the haters and be the PRICELESS QUEEN you always have been and be happy too" and then I came to know that JENNIE is a member of BLACKPINK, so I wanted to hear their songs for JENNIE, first I watched KILL THIS LOVE. After hearing their songs, I really liked how they perfectly portrayed the strong, girl-crush, badass image and I love their iconic lines like "BLACKPINK IN YOUR AREA" and "BLACKPINK IS THE REVOLUTION" and how their songs always made me to get on my feet and dance like no one's watching, and of course, I became a BLINK after that(one of the best decision in my life) ... I think this is my chance to thank JENNIE for introducing me to K-POP world and an amazing group BLACKPINK. I love LISA's amazing dance and her rapping flow, ROSÉ'S magical vocals and her rare unique voice, and JISOO's visuals, her amazing vocals and her 4d personality, I really love all of them, but it's just that I love JENNIE a bit more.! I am only a school student, even though you guys come to INDIA my parents will definitely not allow me to come to your concert, but always remember that even though I am not able to buy your merches or come to concert, I still love you guys so much, JINJAA SAARANGHAE BLACKPINK and I promise I'll be a BLINK forever.
With so much love,
Senitha velmurugan,
a 15-year old INDIAN BLINK, who loves you sm!!!

BLACKPINK’s Jennie Is Pastel Perfection, But What About Her Dog’s Pout?
The weather outside might be frightful, but BLACKPINK’s Jennie has a sweet solution to brighten up December days. End-of-year dressing often leans towards Christmas reds and forest greens, or layers upon layers of dark tones, but Jennie is championing sweet pastels. We’re finding ourselves to be quite convinced.
It mirrors the winter dressing of her BLACKPINK bandmate Jisoo, but Jennie takes the sugary look further by wearing soft violet from top to toe. In a recent Instagram triptych, the 24-year-old can be seen wearing the ultimate WFH tracksuit by Korean leisurewear brand Frei, which she styled with a tonal lilac beanie hat.
Jennie’s infatuation with pastel tones doesn’t end with her wardrobe, either. The BLACKPINK star has acquired one of Instagram’s most-coveted interior trophies: a baby pink Gustaf Westman table. You know the ones: they feature in every influencer’s home and look like a super chic take on your favourite childhood puzzle.
Yes, the pastel outfits are brilliant and we’re pretty jealous of Jennie’s Scandi-chic interiors, but we all know the main focus of her recent Insta shots is her dog Kai. Rather, the pup’s nonplussed facial expressions. Talk about a supermodel pout!

According to Jennie, What Would BLACKPINK Like To Do In 2021?
2020 has been a tough year for everyone, and K-Pop idols especially have had a tough time, as idols have had to cancel things like concerts due to COVID-19. With this being said, there have also been lots of idols who achieved a lot of success this year, such as BLACKPINK.
In a recent interview with Forbes‘ Hugh McIntyre, BLACKPINK were asked about what they wanted to do in 2021.
"The world is in a very weird place. What would you love to do next year that maybe you couldn’t in 2020?"
Jennie answered the question by talking about how they’ve had a very difficult and successful year and that they are joyful that they get to end this year with an online concert. Jennie also wished everyone the best for the remainder of 2020.
"That’s a hard question. Well, it was a very busy year for Blackpink and we’re very happy to end it with this great opportunity that we have with the YouTube online concert. So we hope everybody can have a happy 2020."
In regards to 2021, Jennie spoke on how they want to keep in touch with their fans and continue to make great music, even if the situation is difficult.
"And in 2021, it would be really nice… Our fans, that’s the first thing on our minds and continuing making great music and try to find ways to communicate with our fans, even in these situations."
