[Sports Seoul | Reporter Wi Soo-jung] Blackpink’s Jennie has unexpectedly become a hot topic as the go-to “Korean history guru,” captivating public attention.<\/p>\n

In the wake of the 77th Korean History Proficiency Test (Hanunggeom) held on May 7, online communities and social media platforms were flooded with success stories from test-takers. Many credited Jennie for helping them nail challenging questions in what was widely considered an exceptionally difficult exam.<\/p>\n

The question that stirred up buzz was an advanced-level item about Silla dynasty’s cultural heritage. The correct answer was “Silla gold crown ornament,” and test-takers unanimously claimed that scenes from Jennie’s solo music video for “ZEN” helped them pinpoint the right choice.<\/p>\n

Last year, Jennie made waves with her solo album “RUBY,” particularly in the music video for the pre-release track “ZEN.” She donned a show-stopping V-shaped metallic ensemble inspired by Silla gold crown decorations. This eye-catching outfit, symbolizing a phoenix in flight, reportedly featured over 1,000 hand-linked metal embellishments.<\/p>\n

One elated test-taker shared, “Just as I was about to throw in the towel, Jennie’s stunning look from the music video flashed through my mind. I went with my gut feeling, and boom – it was correct! Talk about the perks of being a fan.” The internet is having a field day, with memes equating Jennie to the Silla gold crown and playfully dubbing her the “Hanunggeom ace instructor.”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Blackpink, Jennie’s powerhouse group, is gearing up for a comeback with their third mini-album “DEADLINE,” set to drop on the 27th. wsj0114@sportsseoul.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
