On July 28, 2024, NewJeans' Hanni took to her Phoning account, the K-pop girl group's fan-interaction app, and gushed about SEVENTEEN Woozi's recent post. This moment sent fans into a frenzy. On 24 July, Woozi posted a message on his Weverse account using a phrase that hinted at Hanni's meme. His post read:
"Preparation for tomorrow's caratland done (CaratLand Ready Kal Done."
This referenced a grammatical error in a Korean sentence made by Hanni during the group's YouTube video called [Light Jeans] NewJeans in Singapore with Nike on April 23. She said in the video:
"Ready Kal Done"

While this meme was only used by avid fans of the K-pop girl group, the idol was surprised to see Woozi being aware of the same. Upon seeing the SEVENTEEN member's Weverse post, both the fans and NewJeans' Hanni were confused about how the meme reached him. Regardless, Hanni couldn't hide her excitement regarding the same.
She took to her Phoning account to endlessly talk about the incident. She was surprised that Woozi knew about the meme and also called him NewJeans' Hooni - Woozi's nickname based on his real name, Lee Ji-hoon. She also jokingly invited the new member to her group.
Following the incident, here's how netizens reacted to their K-pop idols' surprising interaction:
