BLACKPINK's Jennie Helps Students Ace Korean History Exam with Her 'ZEN' Music Video Outfit

BLACKPINK's Jennie has become an unexpected hero for students taking the Korean History Proficiency Test, as her solo track 'ZEN' music video outfit provided a crucial hint for a challenging question.

Following the test on the 7th, numerous test-takers shared their experiences online, revealing that Jennie's attire in the music video helped them identify the correct answer.

In a popular online community, one test-taker recounted how they were on the verge of giving up on a difficult question until Jennie's image popped into their mind, leading them to the right choice. Another expressed gratitude, saying Jennie practically gave them the answer.

The question involved identifying cultural heritage from the Silla period. Among various artifacts from different eras, the correct answer was option 4, the Silla gold crown ornament.

Test-takers associated Jennie with the answer due to her 'ZEN' music video outfit, which featured a V-shaped metallic top inspired by the Silla gold crown ornament. This outfit, praised for its modern reinterpretation of traditional Korean aesthetics, had already garnered attention upon its release.
