A candid moment between LE SSERAFIM’s Huh Yunjin and (G)I-DLE’s Yuqi at the Fendi FW26 fashion show in Milan has quickly become a viral sensation, sparking delight among fans of both K-pop groups. The interaction, initially captured by American singer-actress Arden Cho, unfolded on February 25th as Yunjin attended the high-profile fashion event.
The initial clip showed Yunjin, dressed in a black-and-white ensemble, seemingly unaware she was being recorded from across the room. Cho alerted Yunjin to the recording, prompting the LE SSERAFIM member to playfully film the person behind the camera. The ensuing laughter between Yunjin and Cho drew attention online, but the identity of the videographer proved to be the biggest surprise.
Yuqi, formerly of (G)I-DLE, was revealed as the source of the initial recording, posting the clip to her social media account with the caption “Cutie spotted.” Yunjin responded in kind, sharing photos she had taken of Yuqi from across the room, effectively turning the tables and publicly acknowledging the playful exchange. A flurry of posts on social media followed, with fans expressing enthusiasm for the unexpected friendship between the two idols.
The interaction has garnered significant attention, with fans sharing screenshots and clips of the exchange across various platforms. One user posted, “need the yuqi yunjin and arden cho selfie NOW,” reflecting the widespread desire for further interaction between the three artists. Another user commented, “yuqi moving like yunjin’s fansite i canttt,” highlighting the enthusiastic support from fans of both groups. The exchange has been widely circulated with the hashtag #idlessera, a portmanteau of the two groups’ names.
The viral moment arrives as Bang Chan of Stray Kids recently received praise for a considerate gesture towards Yunjin at the same Fendi show, as reported by multiple news outlets. Bang Chan’s actions have been discussed in relation to recent online controversies, with some suggesting it could influence public perception. However, the focus remains on the lighthearted interaction between Yunjin and Yuqi, which has been celebrated as a genuine and endearing moment of camaraderie within the K-pop industry.
