Did you know?
- When discussing BLACKPINK's music, Chinese fans use the term 洗脑 'xǐnǎo', which literally means 'brainwashing', to describe a song with a catchy, repetitive hook.
- A fan might refer to the group members as their 正主 (zhèng zhǔ), a term that literally translates to 'the real master' or 'the original owner'.
- The concept of 'fandom' in Chinese is deeply tied to the word 粉 (fěn), which is the same character used for the color 'pink'. This creates a linguistic link between the group's name and the act of being a fan in Chinese-speaking pop culture.
