Looks like Blooms, the fans of Filipino super girl group BINI, are in for a treat through one of the country’s well-loved fast-food chains. Chickenjoy maker and world stomper Jollibee Foods Corp. has recently been dropping hints of a new celebrity endorser on its Facebook page.
The BINI buzz started on Tuesday, when Jollibee posted a photo of its mascot with the words “Oh Shux!,” an iconic line from the eight-member P-pop (Pinoy pop) girl group’s hit song “Pantropiko.” Then on Thursday morning, a social media card titled “spoilers without context” displaying emojis of a beach (alluding to BINI’s “Pantropiko”), a flower (referring to Blooms), and seven black-haired girls and a red-haired girl (appearing to represent BINI Mikha) was posted on the Jollibee page. The post also included a past Facebook interaction between the official Jollibee page and graphic design company Karr Creates, which created their own design of collectible Jolli-BINI photo cards and “Salamin, Salamin”-inspired mirrors that went viral last month.
“Salamin, Salamin,” of course, is the group’s second song to hit number one on Billboard’s Philippines Songs Chart after the summer hit “Pantropiko.” Karr Creates’ creations back then were unofficial—but Jollibee seems to have taken a serious interest in those. I don’t wanna wake up in this dream, baby! But along with other Blooms, we’re excited to get a full reveal soon.
Are we getting special Bini mirrors? Is there.
