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.

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.
