However, while many fans just thought of it as just part of the concept, Aron confirmed that it wasn’t just for content.

But it’s actually not just for content LOL. I really do work a 9-6 job. Yeah, I went to work today. I have to go to work tomorrow, too. And marketing can help my career and later come in handy for us, too.

Fan: And who do you mean by ‘us’?

Aron: The oppas that you all like LOL.

Fans also began to make sense of his past messages that were sent that revealed him always greeting fans in the morning and evening.

I looked at the past messages he sent, and I can finally make sense of them. He was hanging out with us after work and leaving us greetings before going to work.

This came as an absolute shock to both netizens and fans alike.

F*ck, I’ve never seen an idol like this before.

It’s the first time I’ve ever seen an idol actually get a job because he loves his group so much. I’m in awe.

직장인아이돌 신개념이다

A working idol is a whole new concept.
