Making a mistake on a social media account is easier than many may anticipate. This is even more true when one runs more than one account on a platform like X (formerly Twitter).
In the past, official K-Pop accounts have been caught interacting with Tweets containing surprising content, like when Apink’s account reposted fanfiction featuring NCT members.

Fifth-generation boy group Fantasy Boys‘ account was recently caught liking a surprising tweet featuring aespa‘s Karina.
Fantasy Boys was formed by the survival show of the same name, and some of the members have gone through several scandals in their short time of being a group.
On August 19, a netizen noticed that the Fantasy Boys members’ account had retweeted their tweet. The tweet featured a TikTok of aespa’s Karina with two dancers doing a challenge to “Pocket Locket” by Alaina Castillo.

The tweet seemed to be negatively tone, directed at the dancer on the left, mentioning over dancing being unappealing to fans.
自我強強ダンサーが不快なのはどの国のオタクも共通してるんだね https://t.co/op12Ov2KW3

The fact that “self-assertive dancers” (people who overemphasize themselves in a group) are unpleasant is something that otaku (fans) from any country seem to agree on.
— OP, via Google Translate
While K-Pop group’s accounts are usually ran by individuals other than the members, this instance has stood out as the account is specifically for member content and believed to be managed by the group
The account has since un-retweeted the tweet.
