Navigating Modern Fandoms and Late-Night Direct Messages
During the YouTube video titled “Secret chat date with first-year middle school daughter, feat. marriage(?), son-in-law(?), mom’s meltdown,” Seo Yoon revealed a deep fandom for a performer named Jeffrey White on the program Show Me, according to OSEN. Seo Yoon admitted to sending a long direct message late at night to express support, which reportedly received a reply containing a thank-you message and a hand-heart emoji.
Lee Ji-hyun immediately intervened upon hearing about the late-night digital communication. According to OSEN, Lee cut her child off to state, “You didn’t mention sending a long message at that late hour. That’s a problem.”
