With conversations about the two gaining traction on X, it was not long before Laufey herself took notice of what was going on.
"Wait what is happening," the 'Fragile' act asked fans.
Then in a completely unexpected move, Yunjin, tweeting through the official LE SSERAFIM account, introduced herself to her musical hero and expressed her love for her.
"Hi I'm Yunjin I love you I love you I love youuu," she wrote.

Having released her sophomore studio album Bewitched in early September, Laufey is now gearing up for the North American leg of her The Bewitched Tour, which will kick off in San Francisco on 9 October. The tour is set to continue with shows across the United Kingdom and Europe in 2024.
Aside from embarking on LE SSERAFIM's FLAME RISES tour alongside members Kim Chaewon, Sakura, Kazuha, and Hong Eunchae, Yunjin has also featured on the group's first studio album, UNFORGIVEN, and released three solo singles — 'I ≠ DOLL', 'love you twice', and 'blessing in disguise' — this year.
