Every idol has their own way of interacting with fans, and the same is true for the reverse. Some fans prefer to have a friendship-like bond with their faves, asking for dating advice…

…to those idols and fans who are more likely to display some flirty behavior during interactions.

Of course, this is all dependent on what the idol feels comfortable with, and for some, this does not include anything but friendship. Recently, IVE‘s Jang Wonyoung became a hot topic for her method of maintaining her boundaries!
IVE are currently on their first world tour Show What I Have, and have visited numerous countries around the world.
During a recent concert, it appears that a fan had a sign for Wonyoung with options for the idol to choose from. The sign asked Wonyoung to send a heart if she was the OP’s girlfriend or a kiss if she was the OP’s wife.
Upon spotting the sign, Wonyoung shook her head before mouthing “We’re best friends,” while doing the pinky promise gesture.
Fans praised Wonyoung for expressing her boundaries, with clips of the moment hitting over 300 thousand views.
we may giggle a little but i seriously love this about wonyoung, she never feeds into parasocial relationship with her fans and outspoken about her boundaries . pic.twitter.com/8uDkBsftJm
