BLACKPINK Jennie Surprises Fans With Unexpected Fan Club Merchandise Reactions

BLACKPINK’s Jennie is gaining attention for her unique fanclub merch kit!

The controversy started when Jennie’s official fanclub kit was announced. Along with the usual photobook, memo pad, and photocard set, fans noticed something unusual — a dumpling stress ball.

The dumpling, nicknamed “Mandu” because of Jennie’s chubby cheeks, quickly sparked buzz online. It’s a stress ball shaped like a steamed dumpling — something fans had never seen before in official merch.

The kit also includes quirky foggy glasses, designed to pair with the “Mandu” stress ball concept. The glasses represent the steamy fog that appears when you take dumplings out of the steamer.

Fans loved the creativity. One tweeted:

“jennie named this foggy glasses because the stress ball named mandu
(there’s fog when you take mandu out from inside the steamer or when you cut half the mandu)”

Another added:

“Jennie’s master plan is insane everything is so well thought out. Even the glasses being named “Foggy” makes sense, because when the mandu is piping hot, the steam causes them to fog up”
