Chinese scientists have discovered a new species of fish, a tiny bumblebee goby measuring less than 9mm, and have named it *Brachygobius jennie* in honor of the K-pop star Jennie from the group Blackpink. The discovery, made in mangrove wetlands near the Pearl River estuary, is significant as it is the first of its genus found in China and could serve as a model for studying vertebrate miniaturization. The lead researcher, Tian Jiangyan, stated that listening to Jennie's music inspired her during the research process, leading to the decision to name the species after the singer. AI
