Blackjack combines "Black" (2NE1's signature color) with "Jack" — a card game term. The name implies that 2NE1 fans hold the winning hand: black for power, jack for triumph. It reflects 2NE1's bold, winning attitude.
Who Are Blackjack?
Blackjacks are one of K-pop's most passionate legacy fandoms. Since 2NE1's disbandment in 2016, Blackjacks have maintained the group's legacy through active streaming campaigns, anniversary events, and consistent support for CL's solo career. Blackjacks are known for treating "I Am The Best" (내가 제일 잘 나가) as an immortal anthem — it re-charts regularly.
2NE1's lightstick is a bold black and red glow wand — no elaborate shapes, just the raw color force of 2NE1's identity. Blackjacks are known for waving them with the same fierce energy 2NE1 performs with.
