Netizens love to treat their favorite idols to gifts to show how much they mean to them and share their support. Most of them will have a special meaning to the idol or will be an inside joke for the fandom.
Recently, BLACKPINK‘s Jennie gained attention after a special gift was given to her at the airport.
On November 22, Jennie arrived back in Korea after their time in America to prepare for the next part of the tour in Europe. Despite the long flight, Jennie made sure to accept gifts from fans who had been waiting for her.
In particular, as Jennie got outside, someone handed her a pink stuffed toy. Upon receiving it, Jennie couldn’t stop thanking and waving at the fans.
She then cutely held it in front of her face, which made all the BLINKs waiting with her very excited.
Even as she got to the car, she kept the stuffed doll in her hands as she was walking.
In photos from the airport, Jennie looked absolutely adorable holding the doll that was given to her by fans.
“Hachuping” or “Heartsping” is actually a character from the massively well-loved Korean animated children’s series, Catch! Teenieping, and is one of the most popular characters.
But why was it precisely the Hachuping doll that was given to Jennie at the airport? Well, it’s all because of a viral nickname the idol was given by a 5-year-old child.
In a video on the popular YouTube channel Kizzle, young children were asked to pick the prettiest idols.
During the last part of the video, the young girls were asked to pick a nickname for the prettiest idols.
The last young girl picked Jennie and instantly said her nickname was “Hachuping.”
Since the video was released, BLINKs have loved the comparisons and it wasn’t surprising that they wanted to honor the comparison with a gift at the airport.
