The Genshin Impact community has been, well, crazy over the latest birthday celebration for the beloved opera singer Yun Jin. The official Genshin Impact Twitter account posted a very touching message and gorgeous images of Yun Jin that entirely sent the community into a frenzy.
The tweet shows Yun Jin admiring a silk flower hairpiece; she called it “a harmony of hues, with devotion woven into every petal.” Here comes an even more teasing line to fan the flames of imagination: perhaps different costumes would even lend a new dimension to her performances… maybe, just maybe, a subtle hint at some future skins? Fans were then directed to check out more Yun Jin action on TikTok, which is a perfect recipe for excitement.
And… fans, how did they respond?! Mayhem that mixed reverence with memeing and pathetic pleas for more Yun Jin content. The utter mess of replies turned downright worshipful. @Geowrio was literally losing her mind: “YUNJIN MY QUEEEEN LOVE YOU” and “BEST DAY EVER RT RTTTEE.” The obsession, really, was for that new look, especially with her hair down, a rare time it was ever so done. “@Mimininemini,” exclaimed, “Yun Jin with hair down is the most prettiest ever,” and honestly, true.
But of course, the Genshin fandom could never leave without new wild comparison wars. One user stated that once Yun Jin had her signature bonnet taken away from her, she looked ridiculously close to Hoshimi Myabi from another game, and thus far down the replies began this mini-argument. Then came the inevitable demands for skins—”Yun Jin skin without hat, WHEN?” @JavierMrDmgz demanded, echoing the thoughts of many.
Some went deep with @ExpoDraws celebrating sharing a birthday with Yun Jin claiming it as an honor. Others took this chance to roast each other in the replies—because what is a Genshin thread without a little chaos? Another-worth-watching one was aggressively forthcoming over “sausage-sized fingers.” Classic.
The support for Yun Jin doesn’t stop at the surface shine. She’s loved for her character depth, for her role in the lore, for being gorgeous to boot. One reply sums it up: “Very beautiful is Yun Jin in this beautiful illustration and even more seeing her without her cap, she looks very cute.”
Given all that hype, it’s undeniable that Yun Jin remains among the highest ranked popularity-wise in Genshin Impact. Whatever about elegance apart from her accepted voice or how good she looks on stage, players can’t get enough of her. So yes, if miHoYo was sort of feeling for a skin, or more story content, well… demand confirmed.
Happy birthday, Yun Jin! The screaming from the fans is heard miles away, meme floods are marching in full force, and love is very, very real. And hey, about that skin without a hat…just saying.
