YMMV / BINI

• Common Knowledge: Fans often use a cherry blossom emoji or sometimes a hibiscus emoji to represent BINI's flower logo. Funnily enough, Word of God is that it's actually a sampaguita (white jasmine). A pretty understandable mistake, considering that the flower emblem is edited to look like lots of different colors in BINI's official graphics and the group is highly associated with the color pink, not the color white, so it's natural that fans think of pink flowers instead.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: Although BINI weren't unknown in the Philippines, they weren't that big domestically until 2024. On the other hand, even before their viral fame in 2024, BINI has been doing quite well in Latin America, consistently charting there and winning the International New Artist Song Award in Brazil's BreakTudo Awards.
• Fandom Rivalry: Especially since late 2023, the relationship between Blooms (BINI stans) and ACES (BGYO stans) has soured immensely. Fights between the two fandoms are heated and oh-so-frequent. However, some people still choose to stan them as a package deal — "BINIGYO" or "SHAmily" (Star Hunt Academy family), as both groups' network likes to market them.
• Friendly Fandoms:
  • Even though BINI's official brother group is BGYO, they are more widely associated with ALAMAT. It's reached Memetic Mutation levels, with Blooms noting that ALAMAT is somehow always brought up when ACES are fighting with Blooms even when ALAMAT has nothing to do with the topic.
  • NYLON Manila released an article about the two groups' widely beloved friendship and associations, despite coming from two different entertainment companies.
  • It helps, too, that BINI member Jhoanna played ALAMAT member Taneo's love interest in the music video for "Maharani." On her Twitter / X account, Jhoanna even Liked and Reposted fanfic of "JhoNeo" shortly after the MV's release.
• LGBT Fanbase: They've got a massive gay following. (Gay as in gay men and gay women alike.) It makes sense: they're gorgeous young women who have a lot of girly, adorable songs and engage in cute shippy fanservice with each other. They've released multiple songs written by Nica del Rosario as well; she is an openly lesbian songwriter and has admitted that all of her songs are written with lesbian themes in mind, much to the delight of BINI's many queer fans.
• What Do You Mean, It's Not for Kids?: A solid 99% of BINI's songs and music videos are kid-friendly... and then you've got the "Strings" music video, which is packed with some pretty intense Sci-Fi Horror imagery that'll freak out anyone who's easily scared.
