Recently, EVAN appeared in a TikTok video with ILLIT member Iroha, dancing to the group’s latest collaboration track, “ICONIC BY MISTAKE,” which was released jointly with KATSEYE and LE SSERAFIM.

While the video itself landed EVAN amid a heated debate about his dancing skills, his messages to fans about the whole experience have also become a heated topic on social media. He sent a series of messages to fans, saying that Iroha “sunbaenim” helped him film the video well, adding that they have recorded some more videos together, which will be released later.

EVAN calling Iroha by the honorific, which is reserved for artists senior to oneself, has attracted mixed reactions online. Some fans were seriously offended by it, feeling it implied that EVAN’s past artistic identity was being wiped out for the sake of a rebrand.

Others countered this reaction by pointing out that EVAN was clearly joking about calling Iroha, who debuted years after ENHYPEN, by the title of “sunbaenim.”

 

Fans were also amused by the “concept of Iroha being sunbaenim,” given that the 18-year-old ILLIT maknae was still a fresh face in the industry.
