K-pop fans were delighted as BLACKPINK's Jisoo extended her warm support to NCT’s Doyoung, rekindling memories of their time together as hosts on SBS' Inkigayo. Jisoo took to social media to share her appreciation for Doyoung's latest single, The Story, which was released on November 6. 

Alongside a cozy autumnal message, she wrote, “Maknae’s new song is released on a chilly, brilliant day so good,” perfectly capturing her emotions as an elder sister and the heartfelt vibes of Doyoung’s new track. Her affectionate post quickly garnered attention, especially from fans of the JinJiDo trio, a name affectionately given to Jisoo, Doyoung, and GOT7’s Jinyoung during their hosting days on Inkigayo. 

Doyoung soon responded to Jisoo’s post with a heartfelt message, addressing her as “noona” (Korean for older sister) and expressing his gratitude. “I’m touched, thank you nooi,” he wrote, a small spelling quirk that made the interaction all the more endearing.
