No fan was safe this April Fools.

April Fools Day often sneaks up on people which meant many fans were caught off-guard when their favourite idols began to play pranks on their fanbases.

1. Solar (MAMAMOO)

Solar pranked her fans with an upload to her YouTube channel, Solarsido. In her video, Solar told fans she was going to cut off a significant portion of her hair.

But it turns out she was just cutting off extensions!

Doyoung of NCT has an actor brother named Gong Myung. A photo of Gyong Myung was posted on NCT’s Twitter with the caption: “Hello. I’m Doyoung. It looks my selfie came out cute today”.

Doyoung then made a post on Gong Myung’s Instagram account with the caption “Hello, it’s Gong Myung! Going on an outing, get warmer, weather!”

ONF’s Twitter account was supposedly hijacked by the childhood version of member J.Us who shared cute pictures with fans.
