BLACKPINK Jisoo, NCT Doyoung and GOT7 Jinyoung—affectionately known as JinJiDo—recently enjoyed a dinner with the staff of Inkigayo. This gathering brought together three of the most beloved former MCs from the popular weekly music show. Jinyoung, Jisoo and Doyoung served as MCs for Inkigayo from February 2017 to February 2018, captivating fans with their charm and hosting skills. Their connection is especially meaningful as each member represented one of the "Big Three" Kpop agencies—SM Entertainment, YG Entertainment and JYP Entertainment—making their trio iconic in the Kpop landscape. Even years later, they maintain a supportive relationship, frequently cheering each other on.
The recent dinner was hinted at when Inkigayo's producer shared a photo from the meetup on Instagram, tagging the three stars. Although the faces in the picture were not visible, the caption, "kids who never change," resonated with fans, confirming the trio’s enduring bond.
