As much as their surprising move aimed to instill excitement in the fandom, most were saddened with Youngeun being missing in the act.

On X (formerly Twitter), netizens uploaded a screenshot from Youngeun's Bubble conversation, showing the idol opening about her true feelings on opening an Instagram account. 

According to Youngeun's messages, the idol acknowledged the surprising reaction to her not opening an Instagram. 

"Why didn't I make an Instagram account? Everyone was surprised. Well, actually, I wasn't confident. Rather than being sure that I want to open it right now, I want to build up things that are inside of me."

Fans then expressed comforting words to the Kep1er member and trended the hashtag for "We Love You Youngeun."

Youngeun please know I will wait as long as you need to feel confident opening your instagram. You are so talented and so beautiful and I hope you know that 💖#WeLoveYouYoungeun#Youngeun#Kep1er pic.twitter.com/wcsaEK0skp
