SEVENTEEN‘s Jun‘s Chinese romance drama Exclusive Fairytale has been the talk of the town way before its release. The steamy scenes and viral edits across social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram caught everyone’s attention. The anticipation was high and the show didn’t disappoint. As such, people’s reactions to it were generally favorable.

SEVENTEEN Performance Team reaction to Jun’s drama

iQIYI, a popular streaming platform, added fuel to the fire by releasing a video of SEVENTEEN‘s performance team members Dino, Hoshi, and The8 reacting to Jun‘s drama. The video, released on August 1, showed the four K-pop stars watching several clips from Exclusive Fairytale, including the much-talked-about kissing scenes. 

Initially impressed by Jun‘s handsomeness, the mood quickly shifted when the kissing scenes began. Jun covered his face with his hands, adding to the hilarity of the situation. His embarrassment and Hoshi‘s humorous question, “Did you brush your teeth before the scene?” left fans and members in stitches.

The iQIYI reaction video spread like wildfire on social media, giving rise to a wave of memes. Dino’s facial expressions as he watched Jun’s drama ranged from amused to horrified. They proved to be a popular choice for memes among creators. All in all, the performance team’s reactions to the kissing scenes were very meme-able because they were so candid. CARATs worldwide had a blast watching Dino, Hoshi, and The8 tease Jun good-naturedly.

Exclusive Fairytale is a C-drama adapted from the bestselling novel Once We Come Across Love. The series became available to iQIYI VIP members on July 27, and the anticipation was high since it marked Jun’s return to acting after seven years. The last time the 27-year-old singer appeared in a drama was in the 2015 series Intouchable.

Other members’ reactions

During a recent fan call event, some fans took a unique approach by showing scenes from Exclusive Fairytale to SEVENTEEN members to capture their live reactions. Mingyu seemed confused but amused as he watched the clips. He sang Jun’s latest single “PSYCHO” while asking about the show. He admitted he hadn’t watched it yet but promised to do so later that day.
