SEVENTEEN’s Wonwoo Accidentally Follows Filo CARAT on Instagram

Earlier this month, SEVENTEEN’s Wonwoo thrilled fans by making his other Instagram account, “film_jww,” public. He started this account to showcase his passion for photography, and understandably, CARATs were excited to see the world through his lens.

The excitement peaked when Wonwoo accidentally followed a Filipino fan’s Instagram account. 

@froyio

ATE PRAYER REVEAL NAMAN JAN?? UPDATE: Unfollowed na! But grabe HAHAHA ang saya ng filo carat twt kanina 😭 July 3, 2024 you will always be remembered #fyp #seventeen #carat #filipino #filocarat #svt #jeonwonwoo #wonwoo #fypシ゚viral #viral @SEVENTEEN

♬ Eh eh eh eh ehh ehhhhh ehhhhh – Ako si Mon

The lucky fan, overwhelmed with excitement, took to her X account to share her experience. She explained that she was just as shocked and surprised as anyone else when she saw Wonwoo had indeed followed her. She added that it wasn’t her intention to brag about what happened; she just wanted to express herself and hoped others would understand that it was an accident.

The fan also insisted that she was not bombarding him with direct messages as others thought. She just wanted to express her love for the SEVENTEEN member on a separate platform so as not to bother him like a sasaeng fan would. She even admitted that she fully expected Wonwoo to unfollow her eventually.

Wonwoo clarified things on Weverse

Sure enough, that was exactly what happened when Wonwoo realized his mistake. Seeing that other CARATs had been posting about the incident on the fan community platform Weverse, he logged into his own account to clarify things. He said that he had been trying to upload a picture but accidentally pressed the wrong button, ending up following someone he didn’t mean to follow. He also asked fans not to leave comments on his film account.

Even after Wonwoo removed her from his following list, the lucky Filo CARAT didn’t love him any less. In fact, what happened is now one of her core memories—that for one moment, she was “closer” to the rapper than any other fan, thanks to the power of social media. Although her fever dream is now over, she’s still as committed to supporting Wonwoo and his bandmates as ever.


In other news, Hanteo Chart announced the first weekly chart of July 2024 on the morning of July 8. According to the results, JEONGHAN X WONWOO took the top spot on the Weekly Certification Chart. Their first single, “THIS MAN,” recorded the highest number of official certifications for the week, particularly in the China (Hong Kong) region. – K-Pop News Writer

For fans, the dance challenges just proved the adorable friendships between two K-pop idols. And while fans are already well aware of Jungkook’s friendship with Mingyu, the BTS member has also apparently developed a close bond with the other SEVENTEEN members as well.

Furthermore, Jungkook also confessed how much he misses the younger idol. 

The whole situation even became more chaotic when Wonwoo also made a sudden appearance in the comment section. There, the rapper revealed that he was the one who took Jungkook and Mingyu’s “3D” challenge.

Moreover, Seungkwan’s live was suddenly cut short since he was receiving a call from Jungkook. Following the brief exchange, he had to explain to the viewers that Jungkook, Wonwoo and Mingyu were hanging out with ASTRO’s Cha Eun Woo, who’s also part of the 97-line friend group. 

Because of this, Seungkwan was prompted to share how close he is with Jungkook and Eun Woo, even though they’re from a different group. Additionally, the SEVENTEEN vocalist shared that the 97-line friend group often contact him when they need a mood maker while they’re hanging out. 

With all these interactions in just a single day, fans of both BTS and SEVENTEEN can’t help but gush over the sweet friendship between the two groups. And they also remain hopeful for more interactions given that both acts will make a comeback around the same time. 

SEVENTEEN is set to drop their 11th Mini Album Seventeenth Heaven on October 23. Meanwhile, Jungkook will also release his first solo album Golden on November 3.

SEVENTEEN’s Hip Hop Team Get Floral in Japanese LP ‘Always Yours’ Teaser Photos

SEVENTEEN is generating excitement for their forthcoming Japanese album, ‘Always Yours.’ The Hip Hop Team is showing off their stunning visuals amidst gorgeous flowers in the latest teasers. Not surprisingly, S. Coups, Wonwoo, Mingyu, and Vernon are channeling their soft side in the photos.

SEVENTEEN Hip Hop Team Show Off Their Soft Side In New ‘Always Yours’ Teasers

On August 20, SEVENTEEN unveiled a collection of captivating photo teasers to tease the Hip Hop Team’s arrival. These striking images feature S.Coups, Wonwoo, Mingyu, and Vernon, immersed in a vibrant sea of flowers, exuding their youthful allure. The teasers offer a tantalizing glimpse into what promises to be a visually stunning and musically enchanting Japanese release.

With their unique blend of talent and charisma, SEVENTEEN continues to captivate fans both in Japan and around the world, and ‘Always Yours’ is poised to be another remarkable addition to their discography. The photos serve as a captivating prelude to what fans can expect from this highly anticipated album.

Although the images are hyping up CARATs for the upcoming release, there is also much concern about the Hip Hop Team leader. It was recently confirmed that S. Coups is taking a break to recuperate from a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). The SEVENTEEN leader was injured while filming content with the rest of the group. Once taken to the hospital, it was confirmed that Choi Seungcheol had suffered from a torn ACL and would need several months to recuperate.

For now, it looks like promotions for the new Japanese album will proceed without S. Coups. The rapper is expected to take a lengthy hiatus since recuperation from surgery could last almost a year. Nevertheless, fans are already looking forward to the new album.

Fans can anticipate an eagerly awaited Japanese compilation from SEVENTEEN. It includes their greatest hits, featuring past Japanese versions of songs, along with two fresh tracks: the original Japanese title “Ima -Even if the world ends tomorrow-“ and “Sara Sara,” as previously teased in the highlight medley. ‘Always Yours’ will be released on August 23, 2023.
