However, on November 10th, fans and netizens were surprised to see that the female icon was following 1 account on IG and shockingly, it was singer-songwriter and rapper Dean.

As soon as this news reached K-pop fans' knowledge, speculations arose about the two's relationship, particularly asking if they are cooking another collaboration following working together in 2016.

In that year, the two top-tier artists released the song, "Starlight," the lead single of Taeyeon's second EP, "Why." Upon its release, it amassed rave reviews from both fans, SONEs and music critics, its success was also reflected on the local charts.

As a result, there are fans who were hoping that they could work once again for another release.

• "This is a sign, just do a collaboration once more."
• "Ah, I'm hoping the two will have a collab."
• "Oh, I thought you were going to make a duo."
• "I thought the two of you worked together and came up with something."

Real Reason Dean Is Only Artist Followed by Girls' Generation Taeyeon

Unfortunately, the high anticipation for the artists' possible collaboration was replaced with laughter after fans and nettters pointed out the real reason Taeyeon is only following Dean.

Apparently, Dean was inactive on Instagram for a long time and amid reports that he will make a comeback, the singer-rapper activated his account again.

As Taeyeon was following him even before the unfollow spree, Dean still appeared on her list of followings after he returned.

Hilariously, thanks to Taeyeon, Dean's fans who were clueless he was finally back were just made aware due to the incident.

• "Taeyeon unfollowed everyone and set it to O, but it happened because Dean became active again."
• "Ah, the reason is so funny."
• "Taeyeon must be embarrassed to unfollow him now hahaha"
• "It would be funnier if she decided to unfollow him, too."
• "Dean has a grasp of good timing."
• "Taeyeon must be so confused seeing her following someone again."
• "Will she unfollow or not? LOL"
