008 The Most Handsome Student Council President of All Time
Page 1/3
In a mysterious fan group mainly composed of students on Paper Plane app:

“Hey, can someone ID this handsome guy? He showed up this morning at SBS Deungchon Public Hall. Which agency’s rookie is he?”
A moment later...
“Whoa, why is our President Yoon here?”
The usually dormant group suddenly became lively.
“President Yoon?”
“More unedited photos.jpg”
“Yeah, that’s our student council president.”
{If I’m not mistaken, you’re from Yonsei University? That’s your student council president?}
“Yes, yes, look closely—isn’t that him?”
“Screenshot from Yonsei University’s official website: ‘Student Council President Yoon’s Speech at Freshman Orientation’.jpg”
“Looks like it.”
[I remember this senior Yoon—very handsome, left a strong impression. At the end of March, Yonsei and Ewha Womans University had a spring reading social event, organized by the student councils from both schools.]
“Exactly, he’s Yoon Yunhui, our senior from Yonsei’s Theology Class of 2016.”
{How did you end up taking a photo of him? Weren’t you supposed to be staking out WINNER during the day?}
“I saw he was accompanied by someone from SBS staff, thought he might be some unknown or undeclared rookie. With that look, that face, and that physique, it’d be a waste if he didn’t debut.”
“Hey, why was your President Yoon at SBS?”
“Wait, wait, you Yonsei students really call your student council president ‘President Yoon’? Is that okay?”
“What’s wrong with that?”
[Calling him ‘our President Yoon’ easily brings to mind the media’s nickname for that guy—‘our Commander Yoon.’]
“Oh, that? Don’t worry~ You probably don’t know, but during his freshman year, from 2016 to 2017, our President Yoon was fully involved in that event.”
[Impressive. No wonder he’s a senior from Yonsei and the student council president—tried and tested.]
“So do you know why your President Yoon was at SBS?”
“Not really. Maybe he was there for networking at some event?”
{What do you mean?}

“There was a student club vote last week—‘Which artist do you most want to invite for the school anniversary?’ BTS came in first, and it looks like our President Yoon promised to make it happen.”
{Kkkkkk, aren’t you putting him on the spot? BTS only performed at the school anniversary once when they first debuted. After they got famous, they don’t accept these small gigs anymore, even for Yonsei—how much budget could you possibly have?}
The group went quiet for a moment after that comment.
It wasn’t that they disliked Seventeen, but aside from Seventeen, the other idols who came were all nobodies.
Last year, the student council at Korea University was suspected of embezzling school anniversary funds—that scandal spread like wildfire among university circles.
“Ahahaha, our President Yoon is just too honest. If there’s something to do, he’ll really do it.”
“Right back at you.”
{Do you have more photos of your president? Mind if I post them on the forum?}
“Sure, I’ll find some. He has Instagram, ID is xxavier123.”
-----------------
On a well-known entertainment board of a Korean online community, a post appeared unnoticed, titled:
“Yonsei’s Pride! Legendary! The Most Handsome Student Council President!”
It had only a pitiful single-digit number of likes and comments.
But that didn’t matter—posting on the community was just for easy reposting. Marketing accounts start with a photo, content is mostly fabricated.
However, within the same community, there’s a small student-run mutual aid gallery for Yonsei students. Perhaps someone saw the post and shared it, and soon its likes and comments began to rise.
Including but not limited to:
“Thumbs up! Our President Yoon! Super handsome!”
—“Yonsei University! You Only Live Once!”
“Day 123 of liking President Yoon~”
—“Is day 123 special? President Yoon’s Instagram ID ends with 123.”
—“His birthday is December 3rd.”
“Stupid little kitten from Korea University, you’re not allowed to view this post.”
—“Hey! What’s so great about your Yonsei Blue Bird leader?”
“Now that I know you’re from Yonsei and Korea University, can someone answer me this—is it just me who’s following this post? Your handsome student council president at Yonsei is inviting BTS for the school anniversary.”
—“So what? Believe in President Yoon!”
—“Haha, it’d be hilarious if they don’t show up.”

—“So what? At least better than your Korea University.”
—“I’m f******”
It seemed no one cared much about looks; those who paid attention to the post all tacitly accepted that President Yoon was indeed very handsome.
Soon, the post’s comment section devolved into a battle between Yonsei and Korea University students—a long-standing rivalry—with students from other universities joining in to stir things up.
Looks like our President Yoon is quite popular at Yonsei?
There even appeared a strange group called “Our President Yoon Fan Support Club.” How long have they been craving our President Yoon?
Before long, this post was pushed to the community’s real-time homepage. With just over ten thousand views and hundreds of comments, given the population base of the peninsula, it still caused a small ripple.
Especially since someone quickly took screenshots and reposted them on other forums and communities.
Most university anniversaries on the peninsula happen between April and June, so on-campus students generally care about which celebrities will attend.
Even non-fans enjoy the festive atmosphere.
So those marketing accounts who reposted the post used even more sensational titles:
“BTS’s First School Anniversary Performance! Yonsei Student Council President: I Stake My Reputation!”
No matter how it looks abroad, BTS is the hottest act locally, and their fans are the most unreasonable. They said:
*“BTS oppas would never perform at a school anniversary, Yonsei University doesn’t deserve it, neither does Seoul National University.”*
?
Completely incomprehensible. Idol fanbases naturally have many students, otherwise how could BTS win the ‘Most Wanted Artist for School Anniversary’ in a Yonsei University club vote?
When normal people try to use normal logic to understand fandom culture, they’ve already lost.
As expected, some of BTS’s extremist fans’ remarks quickly triggered a new round of fandom chaos.
Especially since it involved academic discrimination (?), it felt like the argument was breaking out of its usual circle. Fandom is fandom, but insulting our universities—what’s that about?
Probably because BTS is at their peak, their fans have become overinflated.
Some displeased people decided to confront the person involved.
In the old library of Yonsei University’s Theological Seminary, facing student council officers who came knocking, Yoon Yunhui was stunned:
“What the hell? Did I insult BTS?”
