[TW: mentions of sexual harassment]
K-pop idols are always there for fans when it comes to interaction. From live broadcasts to fan meetings, each one of them has embedded a treasurable memory to every fan. Along the lines of idol-fan engagement, one feature in this topic is that of fan video call.
Similar to how fan meetings work, a fan call initiates interaction with the idol on a screen, usually via phone or any gadget that can work. This style is popular, given how effective it is for international fans, who are out of reach.
While the idea can be wholesome in a parasocial relationship, there are unfortunate times when a fan oversteps an idol's boundaries, leading to eye-soring and cringey moments.
Here are 5 K-pop male idols who went through cringeworthy fan calls!
1. SEVENTEEN Vernon
Among the situations listed here, this is probably the least cringey because of its wholesome nature. NCT Mark experienced a splendid, but funny experience with a fan. In their call, the fan gladly sung TWICE's "Feel Special."
During her singing, NCT Mark was shown to be grinning behind, due to the fan's confident and loud performance. Fans were both amused and amazed with the fan's singing, which made Mark smile. See the video here!
