After one day of BLACKPINK’s first headlining act at the Coachella 2023, netizens are still not over the sensational performances onstage. Specifically, they are diving deeper into the hidden details that were missed on their first watch of the performance.
On the stage of the 2023 Coachella 2023, BLACKPINK Jennie brought Korean culture with her through the jewel-studded patterns on her black leather crop-top jacket
The details on the jacket were said to resemble the mother-of-pearl used in a traditional Korean craft
Specifically, the bejeweled right side of Jennie’s jacket is a representation of the shapes and patterns that Korean craftsmen use in “najeonchilgi,” a Korean handicraft where various luminous pieces of shellfish are inlaid on objects. The patterns vary among various shapes of fauna and flora
“najeonchilgi” is used on various products such as jewelry boxes, bookmarks, mirrors, water bottles and so on
In response, fans showered Jennie with praise, saying, “I thought it was simple jewel-studded pattern at first glance,” “Jennie and her team pay so much attention to small details,” “The pattern on her outfit is so meticulously done.”
This is not the first time BLACKPINK members promoted Korean culture in their music release, performance, or overseas event attendance.
BLACKPINK Rosé wore a traditional Korean ribbon, Daenggi, at the Sulwhasoo x Met event. The item is from a Korean brand, Maison de Yoon In the “FLOWER”’s second visual film, BLACKPINK Jisoo used a Binyeo hairpin popularized in the Joseon period, along with a pair of rings called Garakji, which is worn by a married woman and her husband to symbolize their love. The pair of rings is from Naschenka, a Korean brand Moreover, the white tiger embroidered on Jennie’s top, the item she wore in the “BORN PINK” world tour, symbolizes Korean culture and their long-held values. The tiger image is often used in Korean funerary and folk art
BLACKPINK explicitly paid tribute to their home culture by wearing modernized hanbok onto the music video of “How You Like That”
