The Time Eric Nam Lost Control Of His Instagram Account... Who Were The 2 Handsome Culprits?

On August 13, Eric Nam worried fans when he posted on Twitter that his Instagram had been hacked. Considering the fact that Eric’s brand new song was released only a few hours before, many were concerned that the culprit may have deliberately done it at that time in order to mess with his comeback.

My IG stories just got hacked……..

Everyone rushed as fast as they could to check on his account and gauge what the situation was like. After seeing that a new photo had been uploaded to Eric’s story, those who clicked on the notification were met with quite a surprise: The face of TXT‘s Taehyun!

Looking directly into the camera with a peace sign, he cheekily captioned his picture, “hi guys I got his phone❤️”

Almost immediately after that, yet another photo was added to Eric’s story. This time Taehyun was nowhere to be seen, but instead Yeonjun‘s face was front and center! He even put in the effort to write an entire poem:

Here is a rose
Here is a tulip
Here is a lily
Here is a cosmos
But wait, what flower is this…?
Someone passing by told me…
This flower is…
Yeonjun…❤️

— Yeonjun

A little while later, both Taehyun and Yeonjun got one more selfie together. We guess they just wanted to make sure everyone knew that “These guys are lit!🔥”

As it turns out, the two TXT members and Eric thought it would be funny to prank everyone while they were together filming an episode of the Daebak Show w/ Eric Nam.

Fans were kicking themselves for not realizing it sooner – after all, Eric had literally posted about them being guests only a week ago!

And for those who were wondering, Eric did end up getting his phone back pretty quickly, even though he waited quite a while before actually updating his Twitter followers!
