Fans have been witness to numerous interactions, one of which includes Eunchae's TikTok challenge alongside BTS's J-Hope.
However, during the behind-the-scenes footage of LE SSERAFIM's "UNFORGIVEN" showcase, Eunchae found herself in a tricky situation.
The task at hand involved guessing the release year of various K-pop hits, including BTS's renowned track, "Fake Love." An error in judgement led to a hilarious outcome that no one saw coming.
The Comedy of Errors
When Eunchae misjudged the release year of "Fake Love," asserting it was 2017 rather than its actual 2018, the room filled with laughter as she dropped to her knees in exaggerated remorse.
The amusing incident led to a heartfelt, if not slightly dramatic, apology letter penned by Eunchae herself.

With genuine sentiment, she addressed BTS saying, "Esteemed BTS, I endeavored to be a protégé you could take pride in. I regret my error of referring to your 2018 masterpiece as a 2017 release. Please accept my apologies."
Adding to the charm of this incident, Eunchae burst into an impromptu dance to the very song in question, much to the surprise and confusion of her bandmate, Sakura.
Fan Reactions
As the video clip circulated on TikTok, fans were quick to comment on the adorable faux pas.
"Eunchae's heartfelt apology followed by her passionate dance to BTS's song was a treat to watch," said one fan.
Others jumped in to share their struggles with remembering release years, expressing their confidence that BTS would certainly forgive her.
A particular fan commented, "Even as a devoted ARMY, it's challenging to keep track of the release dates for BTS's extensive discography. Eunchae, you're not alone!"
Some even humorously asserted that if Eunchae says it's 2017, then 2017 it shall be.
While Eunchae's blunder might be seen as a minor hiccup by some, her playful handling of the situation has only endeared her more to fans.
The incident served as a gentle reminder that even stars can make mistakes, but it's the recovery that truly counts.
Whether it's 2017 or 2018, Eunchae's apology to BTS will likely go down in K-pop history as an iconic, humorous moment.
