TXT’s leader Soobin revealed that he’s been a mega-fan of KARA ever since he was in grade school, when he would save up pocket money to buy their albums. This time, he was lucky enough to meet the KARA members himself, gifting them a handwritten letter backstage at the MAMA awards. He even revealed that he bought 10 albums from the group’s latest comeback – a true fan!
2. STAYC’s Yoon
Not only does Yoon know the lyrics to any (G)I-DLE song, she even knows the choreo! She’s sometimes called the captain of Neverlands because of her dedication. She even has the group’s photocards in the back of her iPad case, just like a true K-pop stan. She even got to collab on a TikTok with (G)I-DLE members, making her the ultimate successful fan!
3. ATEEZ’s Wooyoung
Preparing for STUDIO CHOOM’s “Artist of the Month” is a massive undertaking, and only the best of the best dancers make it to this stage. ATEEZ’s Wooyoung mentioned in his interview that his role model is BTS’s Jimin – as most ATINYs will know, Wooyoung is a massive ARMY! He’s mentioned his love for BTS on multiple occasions, but this interview proves that he’s serious about his idol.
4. ITZY’s Ryujin
ryujin’s casting story:
so ryujin told her parents that she’ll watch a movie with her friend, but she actually went to got7’s fanmeet. when she got casted, she said that she got casted on the street, but the staff mentioned the venue so she got caught and got scolded by her mom… pic.twitter.com/bdUYUc7yBT

Those who are long-time ITZY stans will remember the iconic way that Ryujin was cast as a trainee at JYP Entertainment – at a GOT7 fanmeeting! She’s a big fan of GOT7, formerly a JYP group, and even went to the fanmeeting in secret just to see her favorite idols. She was cast at that very same fanmeeting, so we have GOT7 to thank for bringing Ryujin into ITZY!
5. Stray Kids’ Felix
During his stint on “Pops in Seoul,” Stray Kids’ Felix got the chance to do his very first album unboxing video. Luckily for him, it was an album from a group he’s a super-fan of – TWICE! STAYs often joke that Felix could be TWICE’s 10th member from how well he knows their songs and choreography, and Stray Kids has covered TWICE songs on multiple occasions.
6. ENHYPEN’s NI-KI

He did a dance cover of SHINee’s song “Lucifer” during an interview with Lee Hyori, proving just how flawlessly he has the choreo memorized. That’s some serious dedication!
7. aespa’s Karina
Girls’ Generation is a legendary K-pop group, so it’s no surprise that there are other idols who are mega-fans too. aespa’s Karina is one of them, and this sweet video shows her finally getting to meet one of her idols – Sooyoung! She even says that she achieved her dream and that Girls’ Generation was the group that made her want to be a singer. She’s a successful fan!
