Popular Male And Female Idols Go Viral For “Avoiding” Each Other Due To Fans

RIIZE’s Wonbin and ILLIT’s Wonhee are going viral after fans noticed the huge amount of space between them while seated together at a recent Chanel event.

Photos from the luxury brand show quickly spread online after netizens pointed out that despite being assigned seats next to each other, the two idols appeared to be leaning away and leaving an unusually large gap between them.

The images immediately sparked jokes and discussion online, with many fans saying it looked like the idols were intentionally trying not to fuel dating rumors or fan reactions.

On the other hand, some BRIIZEs have been arguing, claiming that the interaction was normal and that the girls were simply taking photos together. They have also defended the fandom, claiming that many do not mind friendly interactions.
