A trending tag on Twitter in Korea filled K-pop fans with panic.
On June 11th, the tag "Jaehyun Yuna" was trending on Twitter in Korea. Many K-pop fans thought the tag was meant for NCT's Jaehyun and ITZY's Yuna, so when premarital pregnancy came up after they searched for the term filled them with panic.
It turned out the said term was trending thanks to the recent episode of the rom-com drama series 'Sh**ting Stars'. The two characters in the series coincidentally had the same name as the idol members and they happened to reveal their premarital pregnancy in the latest episode.
Netizens reacted: "My heart literally dropped when I saw that"
"I don't stan either of them but I clicked on it regardless because I was surprised lol"
"I even reported that tag thinking some rando was trying to stir up rumors lol whoops"
"I'm a Jaehyun stan and I almost spat out my heart"
"I'm a midzy and I literally screamed lol"
"My back got sweaty"
Out of context Twitter trends can be very panic inducing! I remember when Margaret Thatcher died, and the hashtag #nowthatchersdead started trending, and everyone thought Cher the singer had died 😬 Thank goodness there is no idol scandal between Jaehyun and Yuna!
