Recently, various types of K-Pop idol fanservice are gaining attention for all the wrong reasons.

5th Gen Idols Become “Pets” At Fansign, Triggers Heated Responses

However, a new type of fanservice is gaining popularity: idols are being asked to tweet on fan’s Twitter accounts.

I’m really Daewhi hehe please leave me a comment lol.

The fan will then post proof of the moment it happened, sometimes by recording a video.

It really was our Daehwi!

If they are lucky, the idol might actually reply to the tweet confirming it was them, like AB6IX‘s Daehwi!

“It’s really me, Lee Daehwi! 😆
I borrowed (the account) for a bit~~!!!
As proof, here’s an unreleased photo 📸
(I’m posting it here first
before uploading it to my Instagram, @hwisosik!!! 🙏🏻

Another fan asked ILLIT‘s Wonhee to do the same thing.

Thaaank youuu *crying* thank youuu

The fan showed off the cute moment with a video and a screen recording of her typing the message.

Thank you too 🫶🫶🫶

A fansite of Hearts2Hearts‘ Jiwoo asked her to sign in via a fansign and even got the notification to prove it.

While this new type of fanservice has become trendy, many are against it and felt like it was crossing a boundary.

  • “Handing over an account is seriously too much.”
  • “This is a bit too far..”
  • “The comments on this are totally different from the fan sign item article that went up this morning.”
  • “This is seriously bad.”
  • “I don’t think much about asking them to do something during the fan sign or video call time after getting the phone… writing a post-it or that is fine… but asking them to do it later by giving them the ID and password is a bit much…”
  • “Cliquish behavior is the shortcut to ruining a fandom’s atmosphere.”
  • “They’re asking for all sorts of things.”
