As part of being a K-pop idol, one of the things that they will need to be conscious of are their image and reputation, as well as their actions in public. While this would usually lead to idols who are more reserved when they are in the spotlight, some idols don't mind and aren't afraid to let loose on camera. And when they do so, some of them end up going viral!
With that, here are some of the K-pop idols who went viral for comical reasons!
1. TWICE Dahyun
GOT7 member Jackson is well-known to create some meme-worthy and relatable content with his witty expressions and remarks, which is a reason why he often goes viral.

But back in 2019, Jackson went viral for his iconic reaction to MAMAMOO Hwasa and JYP Entertainment founder Park Jin Young's (J.Y. Park) collaboration performance at the Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA). While everyone was indeed stunned, Jackson couldn't help but be speechless at what he was seeing.
3. Orange Caramel
Orange Caramel, a sub-unit of After School, featured members Nana, Lizzy, and Raina. They are the group behind the hit song "Catallena." While the song itself is addicting, the group became viral for their live performance of the song's intro, in which the members individually shout "Ha!"
What drew attention, and to fans' amusement, was how Nana, Lizzy, and Raina each shouted "Ha!" differently, and rather, comically.
4. SHINee Taemin
When you have been in the industry for as long as Taemin has, you are bound to want to get some schedules over with and go home early. During a past Music Bank broadcast, Taemin was hilariously, and embarrassingly, caught on camera trying to leave the stage early after SEVENTEEN's speech for their win.

Due to Taemin having been caught by the camera, he tried to play it off by jumping and dancing happily while steadily moving towards the stairs and standing there awkwardly.
5. Super Junior Heechul
Super Junior is a chaotic bunch, which is why ELFs (Super Junior's fandom) are always treated to hilarious content from the members. But member Heechul went viral after after a fancam video of him during Super Junior's Super Show 6 concert in Beijing back in 2014 circulated online.
In this video, the group was performing their song "Evanesce," with the members going up on a platform. However, Heechul seemed to be so focused (yet out of it) when he didn't go up on the platform with the others, leaving him below the stage. The other members, as well as ELFs, couldn't help but be so confused, yet find the situation funny.
