BLACKPINK Jennie and Choo Sung-hoon’s Adorable Coachella Encounter: “Let’s Go to the Convenience Store Together!”
On May 8, Choo uploaded a vlog-style video to his YouTube channel titled “Telling You—It All Comes True? Ajusshi in Coachella feat. Our Jennie,” chronicling his trip to the iconic music festival. Invited by a sponsor, Choo was excited but didn’t expect to have such a memorable encounter with the K-pop superstar.
“Our Jennie” Before They Even Met
During his ride to the venue, Choo’s production staff teased him, asking him to say something to Jennie. Though they hadn’t met before, Choo lightheartedly said, “Our Jennie,” multiple times, drawing laughs from everyone in the car.
Watching Jennie’s set live, Choo was deeply moved. “I go on stage as a fighter, but seeing her up there made me want to be on stage again,” he said emotionally. “Your performance was insane. Watching you made me want to return to the fighting ring.”
After her performance, Choo finally met Jennie face-to-face. Greeted with a cheerful “Ajusshi is here!” Choo proudly told her he wore pink in honor of BLACKPINK. He then gifted Jennie a hat, which she instantly put on while asking, “How should I wear it to look cute?”—a moment that sent Choo into delighted laughter.
The sweetness didn’t end there.
YouTube Bonds and Dessert Dreams
Choo playfully asked, “Do you watch YouTube?” to which Jennie replied, “I watch so much. I eat while watching. You’re my mealtime companion. I’ve seen your videos a lot—I’m a fan.” Choo’s eyes lit up at the unexpected compliment.
When he asked if she liked desserts, Jennie enthusiastically answered, “I love desserts. I often go to convenience stores for tasty snacks. I’ve watched all your videos.” Choo then made a casual but charming offer: “If you ever come on my YouTube channel, I’ll buy you some delicious desserts.” Jennie smiled and said, “If the opportunity comes, we must meet again for sure.”
The adorable exchange ended with Choo saying, “Let’s go to the convenience store together, ajusshi-style,” a line that has since gone viral for its warmth and simplicity.
Viewers flooded the comments with love for the duo’s chemistry:
- “Who knew this crossover would be so cute?”
- “Jennie calling him ‘ajusshi’ and him fanboying is too wholesome.”
- “Rosé with actresses, Jennie with MMA legends—BLACKPINK’s networking is elite.”
Whether it was their mutual admiration, shared sense of humor, or love for snacks and YouTube, Jennie and Choo Sung-hoon’s interaction has added an unexpected dose of joy to Coachella coverage—and left fans hoping for a real “ajusshi convenience store date” on YouTube soon.
