Fans post hilarious reactions to NCT's Jeno's recent Instagram activity

NCT's Jeno was the most recent K-pop idol to fall victim to such dating speculations when he accidentally followed Mina from the girl group TWICE.

Although Jeno immediately unfollowed her, hawk-eyed fans didn't miss the opportunity to mint gold out of the incident as they set Twitter on fire with their reactions.

Fans had a field day posting hilarious memes about the possible panic attack SM Entertainment's officials might have had after NCT's Jeno's social media incident. Some also pointed out how Jeno wasn't following any of the NCT members but hit the follow button on Mina's account.

Some fans also posted that both Jeno and Mina could be friends since they follow each other on Steam, a social media gaming site.

A lot of fans also volunteered to calm the situation down and rightfully reminded others to be mindful of the artists' privacy before the unnecessary speculations took over the internet.

It is common knowledge that K-pop artists prefer to keep their private lives away from the public eye. Most groups have a single Instagram account that is monitored by Company officials. However, even for individual artists' Instagram profiles, it is uncommon to see K-pop idols following members of groups other than their own.

The reasons could be the company's strict no-date policy or the uncertainty surrounding reactions from fans.

But for fans who keep a close eye on every move of the idols, even a single misadventure can turn into a social media circus, with speculations floating about how the two artists might know each other.
