Popular Idol Caught “Flipping Off” Fans On Camera

Her apology has been generously accepted, though. 😂

In a moment of total oopsy daisy, ITZY‘s Chaeryeong ended up flipping off her fans…

…and her most adorable reaction has K-Pop fans absolutely charmed, middle fingers or not.

On ITZY’s official YouTube channel for Japan, a “cheering guide” video for their “Rock & Roll” comeback was uploaded.

Fans couldn’t help but notice Chaeryeong flashing both middle fingers at the camera…

…only to realize shortly after what she had done and go into full panic mode.

Chaeryeong then addressed the double-FUs via Bubble, the fan messaging app, apologizing for keeping the mistake in the video.

Oh, the cheer guide video went up… It happened before I could even realize what I was doing… We worked on the video as we were wrapping up our schedule and we were going to go home after. So I couldn’t ask that we go again for me. I felt bad and didn’t want to be an inconvenience… which is the reason it’s included in the video. But I’m so sorry, MIDZYs… I always pay attention to how I speak so I’m not cursing or using bad words. I mean, I’ve been doing that since I was in 5th grade! So, I’m really sorry. And thank you for thinking it’s cute…

We were all so excited about getting to go home and eating some good food… Anyway, my only wish for my fans is for them to only see and hear good things for the rest of their lives.

Chaeryeong: I love you all! But now I feel like I should have just asked to start the video over… This can’t be, aaaaack!!!

Fan: Just say it was aegyo. LOL.

Chaeryeong: Okie. Pretty please.

Of course, fans know that the flipping off was obviously accidental. They just can’t get enough of her reaction in the video and on Bubble!
