In the released video, Serendipity’s Embrace actors Kim So Hyun and Chae Jong Hyeop appeared as guests and engaged in various discussions. MC Jonathan asked Kim So Hyun about celebrities typically having zero followers on Instagram, and whether she follows anyone herself. In response, the actress explained that she began following fans back in middle school when she didn’t have many fans and was still young. She felt grateful to have followers and made it a habit to follow them back until she went to sleep.

Jonathan commented that over time, she might have unfollowed some of them. Kim So Hyun responded that she typically doesn't unfollow people, but rather they unfollow her. She smiled as she explained that she had even received direct messages saying, "I'm your fan, but I'm switching to a private account so I'm unfollowing you." She noted that if one pays attention, one will notice her follower count decreasing. While the number of people she follows doesn't decrease, her fans continue to unfollow her.
