ITZY’s Chaeryeong has unexpectedly become the centre of attention after reacting to a viral internet meme claiming that all members of ENHYPEN had confessed their feelings to her.
The amusing rumour, which has circulated among Korean netizens for years, recently resurfaced on social media and gained renewed attention after fans discovered that Chaeryeong herself was aware of it.
The discussion began after a video showing the idol responding to the meme spread across social media on November 12.
The clip quickly attracted international attention, with fans sharing their reactions to Chaeryeong’s knowledge of the unusual internet joke.
Despite the dramatic wording of the rumour, there is no confirmation that the ENHYPEN members actually confessed to Chaeryeong.
Instead, the story developed into a popular meme among Korean online communities, eventually reaching the ITZY member herself.
The situation has particularly entertained fans because the rumour involves an entire boy group rather than an individual idol.
Chaeryeong’s reaction has now brought the old joke back into the spotlight, creating another viral moment involving the two groups.
How the ENHYPEN Confession Rumour Became a Viral Meme
The meme revolves around an exaggerated scenario in which all ENHYPEN members supposedly confess their love to Chaeryeong at the same time.
One widely circulated image features the members collectively expressing their feelings, accompanied by the playful message,
“One, two, three, Chaeryeong, I love you!!!!!”
Although the image was never evidence of an actual confession, the humorous premise caught the attention of Korean internet users.
The joke continued circulating online and eventually became recognisable among fans of both groups.
A fan account brought the meme back into the conversation on November 12 by sharing a clip of Chaeryeong acknowledging that she knew about it.
The post was captioned, “Chaeryeong knows about the ENHYPEN all-members-confession meme,” drawing attention to the idol’s unexpected awareness of the joke.
The clip subsequently spread among international fans, many of whom were surprised that the rumour had reached Chaeryeong.
The discussion also highlighted how quickly Korean internet memes can travel beyond their original online communities and become familiar to international K-pop audiences.
Fans React to Chaeryeong Knowing About the Rumour
Following the video’s circulation, fans flooded social media with humorous reactions.
Many found the situation particularly entertaining because Chaeryeong was not simply the subject of an old internet joke but had actually become aware of the meme herself.
One fan wrote, “so apparently there was a rumor that all enhypen members ‘confessed’ to chaeryeong years ago, k netz turned it into a meme and now it’s going mega viral???”
Another fan account shared the clip with the caption, “ITZY’s Chaeryeong reveals that she knows about the meme of the ENHYPEN members confessing to her.”
Other reactions included playful comments celebrating the unexpected connection between Chaeryeong and the ENHYPEN members through the viral joke.
The original post discussing Chaeryeong’s awareness of the meme also attracted considerable engagement, with the video gaining hundreds of thousands of views on social media.
While the rumour itself remains an internet joke rather than a confirmed romantic incident, Chaeryeong’s reaction has given it a fresh wave of attention.
The unexpected moment has entertained fans and demonstrated how an old K-pop meme can suddenly return to popularity when the idol at its centre acknowledges it.
