Sometimes, idols can even accidentally follow their own fans, like SHINee‘s Jonghyun that lead to this adorable interaction.
Fan: “Woah Jonghyun I think you accidentally followed me! Sorry I will unblock you!! But still thank you! Jonghyun I hope you are always happy! I will always support you! Bye!”
Jonghyun: “Aigoo looks like I made a mistake again. Sorry, be happy!โค๏ธ Thank you, itโs late, good night.”

Many netizens left comments amazed by the situation.
- “Wow really…”
- “Wow, I used to think the members were innocent, but after seeing this…”
- “Where are the people who said the kids are innocent? Lmao. In the end, they’ll claim the members didn’t do it, but everything is out now.”
- “Wow…”

Many were particularly amazed that it is the members’ Twitter account, meaning it was done by the members themselves and not the company and/or staff.
- “Wait, you mean it’s the members’ Twitter??”
- “It’s not an official promotional account run by the company, but an account where the members communicate with fans. It’s the members’ Twitter.. lol”
- “Lmao They followed 3 accounts and then unfollowed them, that’s a real mistake”
- “Do they think they’re invincible because they’re under HYBE? This is just like Source Music’s downfall.”
- “Karma really is science… Every time they act up, something big happens.”
- “OMG”
- “The members’ Twitter…?”
