A new fanservice trend has entered into the K-pop world and it’s making everyone talk. Fans are now asking their favourite artists to log into their personal X (Formerly Twitter) accounts and post a note or something. After they post it, fans quickly share videos and screenshots as proof. The trend feels exciting to some, but many others think it has gone too far. Read on to know more about it.
Here’s Why This Fanservice Trend Ft. ILLIT’s Wonhee And AB6IX’s Daehwi Is Raising Eyebrows!
Last week, AB6IX member Daehwi happily accepted the request. He typed a playful message that said he was really the singer and asked fans to leave comments. The account owner recorded everything and posted the sweet moment online. Daehwi later confirmed it on his own account, even dropping an unreleased selfie as extra proof before sharing it anywhere else.
Soon after, ILLIT’s Wonhee received the same kind of request during a video call. With a big smile, she wrote a long, emotional “Thaaank youuu” full of crying emojis. The fan proudly shared the video and a screen recording of her typing, and the clip spread fast among the fandom.
However, not everyone is happy about this new trend. As reported by Koreaboo, many people stated that handing over usernames and passwords is absurd. Netizens pointed out that asking an idol to do aegyo during fan signs or video calls is normal, but giving full access to a personal account is risky and unnecessary.

Some fans also expressed their worry over how these requests are becoming more demanding day by day. They feel that the vibe of the K-pop fandom is turning weird.
In summary, the trend started as cute but later turned into a heated debate online. It has ignited conversations over privacy. What are your thoughts on the above situation?
