Jake Gyllenhaal is a certified BLINK for BLACKPINK fans

Jake Gyllenhaal was in South Korea in June 2019 for the promotion of Spider-Man: Far From Home.

BLACKPINK in Your Area! The popular South Korean girl group, comprising of Lisa, Jisoo, Rosé and Jennie, have catapulted to global stardom in a few short years with the quartet soon going to hit their 5th anniversary, i.e. August 8, to be exact. Ahead of the major celebrations in store for BLINKS, which includes the mysterious 4+1 Project and BLACKPINK: The Movie, let's take a trip down memory lane to June 2019 when a fellow MCU (Marvel Cinematic Universe) actor proved himself to be a certified BLINK!

It was none other than Jake Gyllenhaal! For some context, Jake had arrived in Seoul, South Korea, to promote Spider-Man: Far From Home alongside co-star and good friend Tom Holland. Squeezing in some me-time during the work trip, Gyllenhaal treated his millions and millions of Instagram followers with exciting posts and stories. However, there was one IG story that caught BLINKS' immediate attention. In the video shared, you see the 40-year-old actor sporting a white tee, a gold chain and brown sunglasses, sitting in the window seat of a bus and casually jamming to BLACKPINK's popular tune, DDU-DU DDU-DU.

As the famous tune starts plays in the background, you see Jake enthusiastically lip-sync directly at the mobile camera, "BLACKPINK." P.S. Gyllenhaal's transition from swag to adorable is truly unmissable. "WHAT'S UP [South Korean flag emoji]," the Oscar-nominated star captioned his video.
