Hello, hello! Friends, foes, fans, frogs! I, the magnificent Ree, has brought along with me the newest edition of Unveiling the FaceClaim. And boy do we have a doozy for you today. You may know her as Tuna, Tuba, Fish Child, Yundungus Fletchfox. Why, it is none other than Yuna "Middle Name Redacted" Fairfox!
The child of Jude Alexander, Yuna Fairfox is fairly well-known around WoP for being the trigger to many typo-maniacs *cough* Era *cough* Edy *cough*. Once she figured out how to escape her fishtank and experience the world first-fin, she was immedietely liked and therefore, adopted by the denizens of WoP. Her cheerful demeanor and her buttock-busting jokes automatically attract all newcomers to her, and all the oldies to appreciate her, which I think is why she won the Role Model Awards in just her 2nd year, crazy. But enough about her, let's move onto her face, i.e. Jennie Kim of Blackpink.
Jennie Kim (Korean: 김제니; born January 16, 1996), better known by the mononym Jennie, is a South Korean singer and rapper. She debuted as a member of the girl group Blackpink in August 2016 under YG Entertainment. When she was but a wee lad, Jennie moved to New Zealand, learned a whole new language, and she still managed to make a star out of herself years later. She is an idol to the T, and she is not afraid of trying anything. A video of her crying after going into a horror room went viral, and whilst many would be trepidatious at the idea of their own vulnerabilities out there, she used it to bag herself the Best Variety Star title from Running Man. If you wanna look up to someone, I'd say she's a good choice. And now, HadMobile, to the QnA!
1. When did you first discover Jennie, and what was your first impression?
I genuinely can't remember how I got to know of her. I never really set out to learn about her. Most of what I knew prior to making her my FC was via osmosis (I honestly can't even begin to count the amount of times I've seen stray K-Pop content on my timeline). I thought she had a memorable face the first time I saw her, though, which is why she came to mind when I was making Yuna. Especially since I wanted a surname that was on the stranger side a,d I recalled seeing someone call Jennie "fox-faced" at some point, so "Fairfox" fit nicely with both the face claim and the strange feel I had been wanting. That, and I was fairly confident that no one else on here would have her as their FC, which was what made me think of her in the first place.
2. Do you like Blackpink, and K-Pop in general? Why or why not?
I used to listen to Blackpink, and I knew a couple of other group names, but my interest in the genre didn't really stick. Now I mostly keep up with Jennie's business ventures for profile purposes, which, to be honest, doesn't require a lot of work on my part, as they have an insanely dedicated fanbase that will GIF pretty much anything they can get their hands on. I might be more into K-Pop if the fanbase wasn't so active, as that would force me to interact more with it when making my own stuff. I can still probably name a few songs, and I've made GIFs of more than a couple of their MVs for my profile on here, but it ends there. Still, it's real convenient for me to have so many resources at my disposal, so I'm not complaining.
3. If you were to spend an afternoon with Jennie, what would you do?
Not to sound greedy, but I'd probably want to take advantage of the fact that she's got money :x I would probably try to drag her along to an expensive restaurant and force her to wine and dine me. Korean cuisine is pretty good, so I'd love to try some fancier dishes—especially if I could get her to pay for it. And I'd get an autograph, of course. Can't meet someone famous without asking for an autograph.
Bonus. How do you feel about the nickname "Miss Mayonnaise", and how did it come to be?
I begrudingly respond to it, because I actually do find it sort of funny, but I'm not very happy that I do. I genuinely don't remember how the name came into being, though (pleasedon'thatemeHads). Must've repressed it, though I'd guess it originated from some weird spin-off of Tuna. Closest I come to remembering the origins of that nickname is that I recall how I cemented my legacy when someone convinced me to change my Discord to Mistress Mayonnaise, which also prompted someone to ask me if I had been hacked. Fun times were had by all and now Miss Mayo can never die. Cool.
And that wraps up today's Unveiling the FaceClaim. Keep alert for the next installment, god known when it's gonna happen, and I'll see you lovely people then.
Cheers, mates and matettes!
