UPDATE: A viral dance challenge featuring LE SSERAFIM‘s Chaewon has ignited a firestorm of reactions among fans following a surprising on-camera interaction. The clip, released on October 25, 2025, via the Mnet M2 YouTube channel, showcases Chaewon and Kazuha participating in the “SPAGHETTI” dance challenge alongside comedian Eom Ji Yoon.
Fans were left in shock as Eom, who was performing as her male alter ego, Eom Ji Hoon, was seen hugging Chaewon multiple times. The video opens with Eom playfully tapping Chaewon’s forehead and escalates to a dramatic embrace. The final moments include Eom leaning in for a mock kiss, prompting Chaewon to shriek and pull away.
The reaction from international viewers was swift and intense, with many expressing outrage at what they perceived as inappropriate behavior from a “man” on camera. Comments flooded social media platforms as fans voiced their concerns about the interaction. “Excuse me, Mr. Eom Ji Hoon, you left the foreigners shocked. Please handle the situation!” one viewer lamented.
However, confusion soon turned into amusement when Korean fans clarified that Eom Ji Yoon is, in fact, a woman. Many international fans were left embarrassed, realizing their misunderstanding. “It’s hilarious that overseas fans seriously got angry and said that the guy was crazy,” one comment read. Others remarked on Eom’s striking resemblance to a man, acknowledging the mix-up. “I saw some shorts showing overseas fans getting angry…but he’s so handsome, it’s understandable they’d be mistaken,” another user commented.
Eom Ji Yoon’s portrayal of her male persona has garnered praise for its authenticity, which contributed to the confusion. This character, introduced in June 2025 as a “celebrity chef,” has captivated audiences, showcasing her versatility as a performer. The unexpected twist has now turned the initial outrage into a celebration of chemistry between the performers, with fans sharing their admiration online.
