UPDATE: A die-hard fan of SEVENTEEN member Jeonghan has made headlines by purchasing an entire island in Jeollanam-do, Korea, triggering a whirlwind of reactions on social media. The fan, known by the Twitter handle 神在, announced the acquisition of the heart-shaped island, accessible from Mokpo via the 1004 Bridge, in a post that has since gone viral.
The announcement, made on November 23, 2025, reveals the fan’s intent to develop the island into a special retreat for fellow fans, named “JeongjeongLand.” They expressed hope to complete the island’s name change and development by the time Jeonghan retires, showcasing a commitment that many are calling both impressive and concerning.
In their viral post, the fan stated, “The idea comes from something Jeonghan said before: He wanted to become someone like an island where people can rest.” This emotional connection prompted the purchase as a gesture of gratitude, describing it as a gift for Jeonghan’s upcoming 10th debut anniversary. The fan emphasized, “He deserves the universe when I could only afford a small island,” highlighting the lengths they are willing to go for their idol.
The reactions have been mixed. While many fans applaud the gesture as a testament to true love and devotion, others have raised eyebrows, regarding it as a potentially troubling obsession. One user even quipped, “If I had that much money, could I buy PLEDIS?”—the agency behind SEVENTEEN.
As the news continues to spread, the fan reiterated that their actions stem from love and that they do not expect anything in return. “Come on, there’s true love that asks for nothing,” they remarked in a follow-up tweet on November 24, 2025.
This unprecedented purchase not only highlights the fervent devotion of K-pop fans but also raises questions about the boundaries of fandom. As discussions unfold online, many are left wondering how this unique development will impact Jeonghan and SEVENTEEN’s relationship with their fanbase.
Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story as both fans and critics weigh in on the implications of such a bold move in the world of K-pop fandom.
