Jong Hun Snaps a Photo With Juniel

Pretty, talented and innocent FNC Entertainment artist, Juniel, broke onto the music scene this year and gave FNC it's first female solo artist. Showing off her talented guitar skills and teaming up with CNBlue's Yong Hwa, she proved she wasn't to be dismissed, that she was legit.

Choi Jong Hun, the leader of FNC's idol group FT Island, is currently finishing up promotions for their 4th Korean album "Five Treasure Box". Known for his impressive guitar and piano playing skills and flower boy face, he is showing the world that he can hold his own as a lyricist and composer as well.

Two talented young artists in their prime. Promoting under the same company. They're bound to run into each other at events and such.

But I wonder if their fans, especially Jong Hun's fans, would feel so comfortable? In a tweet Saturday, November 3rd, Jong Hun tweeted a picture of himself with Juniel.

"Pretty as always" Juniel and Choi Jong Hun

From what I could tell (translation and straight reading), he was complimenting Juniel by calling her "pretty". To which some fans responded with "you're an idiot", "Jong Hun...I will not let this go". Implying that his fans were uncomfortable with the closeness of the two in the pic.

On one note, they do make a fairly cute couple. On another note....well, Jong Hun...I can't say it's the smartest thing he has done. He doesn't have as much of a friendly reputation that CNBlue's Yong Hwa does. Because of his handsome looks, he's known as more the ladykiller. I can see why his fans wouldn't exactly be supportive. Jong Hun doesn't tweet pictures with women very often. In fact, I can only remember one instance within the past year and even then, fans tweeted back "ack! You're so close??" and "why are you close to each other?"

Although I agree that stars should be able to have their own lives. I would think by now that he would understand that he is still a very public figure. Even though it may have been a very innocent picture, many fans (including myself at first) may misunderstand at first glance.

I hope this doesn't escalate. Do readers feel the same?
