LE SSERAFIM Huh Yunjin Trends on Social Media for Using Sign Language to Deaf FEARNOT
Earlier on March 19, fans caught a viral clip online showing Yunjin interacting with a deaf FEARNOT at a fan meeting.
The clip showed the fan holding up signs in front of Yunjin, relaying content that she wanted to say to the idol. Yunjin then took the time to read the signs, before responding in sign language and bidding goodbye.
The video also showed Yunjin warmly smiling to the fan as she moved to the next member of LE SSERAFIM. On platform X (Twitter), the original video has garnered over 4,000 retweets and 28,000 likes from netizens.
"240317 LE SSERAFIM's 'EASY' autograph session for everyone.
I was really moved when I saw Yunjin conversing with a deaf person with sign language. It was wonderful to see them warmly watching over me even after my turn was over."
Soon after, the fan in the video shared her account, recalling her unforgettable experience with Yunjin at the fan meeting. Read her story below:
"There were many things that moved me during LE SSERAFIM's autograph session. But I was moved when I talked to Yunjin, I'll talk about that. When I showed her what I wanted to say on the board, she tried to sign but she stopped to read the board properly.
When she finished reading, Yunjin smiled and communicated with me in sign language. At that time, I was surprised and thought, 'Sign language!? You're so good at it. Maybe you remembered it because I told you beforehand?'
'You're not saying hello, but you're also using sign language to convey what you actually want to say!?,' and I panicked. I also said thank you. Even after that, when I was talking with Zuha and Eunchae, Yunjin was watching over me all the time, but I didn't notice lol.
I realized this when I was shown the entire video. Maybe it was because I was laughing while talking to Zuha and Yunjin was laughing too. I thought that after watching the video, I felt sorry that Yunjin kept looking at me even after talking to the last fan.
In the end, I realized that Yunjin is a kind and capable person."
Netizens commended Yunjin for her genuine personality, with many praising her effort in using sign language to communicate with the FEARNOT.
I know she’s going through a lot of controversy with her coffee choice but this is a level of empathy and genuine attempts at connection with fans that you really do not see in kpop. Yunjin is a different breed of idol and it shows. https://t.co/sZpZKzsLOL
