Chapter Title: The Only Follow of a 100 Million Influencer
-----------------------------------------------------------------
SNS is a gateway to communication.
It's easy and convenient.
Just wiggle your fingers, and you can scroll through feeds, peek into daily lives, check out photos and videos effortlessly, and even kill time with short-form content without engaging your brain.
People without many friends tend to gravitate toward YouTube for long-form and short-form videos rather than Instagram. But those who love interacting use SNS a lot—uploading their own daily updates while browsing others' stories.
The common thread between SNS and YouTube is that creators profit from the attention of those people.
In a world where even celebrities are compelled to launch YouTube channels and stay active, the reason is clear: whether it's for money or fame, these platforms offer far better accessibility and a more approachable vibe than TV shows. No reason not to use them.
That's why SNS sees the heaviest commercial use.
A single ad post on a highly viewed feed can rake in hundreds of thousands or even millions of won, and group buys have become an essential wallet-filler for influencers.
Sure, there are occasional scandals from blindly accepting shoddy products, but with rewards that sweet, skipping out would be foolish. Feeds without ads are a rare sight these days.
As a result, people who use SNS for its core purpose—genuine communication—usually have massive followings.
Those who don't need to earn money from it.
Celebrities using it as a hobby or to share personal updates.
Not everyone fits the mold, but lee Soo-ah was one of the rare ones who truly used SNS just to keep fans in the loop on her life.
Back in her idol days, she did the usual fan management lives and promo streams. But since going solo, no more lives—just occasional photos or status updates. Yet she'd amassed over 100 million followers.
In a dopamine-addicted world, who'd care about someone posting nothing but selfies now and then? Unless that someone was lee Soo-ah. Then it was different.

Sister, you're too pretty ㅠㅠㅠ
— LoverGirl
She's genuinely lovely..
— EyeCandyFan
Wow,, how is an unfiltered photo this perfect??
— DeadEyes
My eyes are dying
Just looking at her is a feast for the eyes.
Whether it's stage outfits, behind-the-scenes shots, or casual daily pics.
Everyone fantasizes at least once about dating a girl like that.
Seeing an update from lee Soo-ah pop up on your feed first thing in the morning gives you a massive energy boost to start the day.
That's why people follow her.
Over 100 million people just like me.
Clinging to the faint hope that maybe, just maybe, I'd be in her first following slot.
Lee Su-ah's following list had stayed at zero since her solo debut.
No special reason.
She'd officially stated she wanted to use SNS as a special communication tool and didn't want to hurt feelings by selectively following some and not others. After that, no one really nitpicked.
Following was often a strategic promo move on SNS anyway.
So most people wondered:
💬 Speculation
— CuriousFan
When will Su-ah's first follow happen?
— RomanceHope
Probably when she starts dating?
— Skeptic
Does Su-ah even date?
At this point, the anticipation for who her first follow would be was building to massive levels, putting pressure on the person themselves—they wanted to hit follow but couldn't.
That's normal.

In my 30 years of life, I'd never realized SNS was this vibrant or widely used.
To me, it was just a platform to occasionally check algorithm-pushed idol fancams, cheerleaders, and racing models—like bingeing YouTube content.
Less than a minute after lee Soo-ah's follow notification, my phone exploded with SNS alerts, filling up the notification bar.
I thought someone had hacked my camera or something.
My follower count shot up by hundreds in moments, and my post was flooded with comments.

— HunterFan
What's your connection to Su-ah?
— ConspiracyNut
Did Su-ah set this up as a joke?
Most weren't interested in my meal or Post-it note.
Everyone was fixated on one question: Why did lee Soo-ah, who'd followed no one in years, suddenly make me her first follow?
And right after my "My wife" comment on her post, she liked it too. Conspiracy theorists crawled out like roaches, spinning scenarios effortlessly.
— Sleuth
Made her breakfast and she headed to work? ㄷㄷ
— Newsie
Su-ah was heading to register as a hunter today.
— Spotter
Pic from in front of the Hunter Association just went up.
— Shocked
Whoa, for real?
No official word yet, but the comments were already locking in our "relationship" and crafting stories.
"No. Fuck. Why is this blowing up on my feed?"
I had no idea why they were ranting on my random daily post.
Dizzy from the sudden attention, but somehow...
My lips curled up slightly as I blankly watched the numbers climb.
Is this number-staring bliss?
99% wasn't positive attention, but realizing I'm a madman myself meant it didn't faze me much.
Instead, my head was filled with how to clap back at this.
I'd half-expected something like this anyway.
Not content with just linking up with lee Soo-ah, I'd fucked her, knocked her up twice, and been pumping nutrients into her at her place nonstop.
Honestly, it'd be weirder if we hadn't gotten caught yet.
If it's gonna happen anyway, her bold public move could work in our favor.
Hunter Gallery already had a concept post summarizing it all.
📰 Breaking News
[Title: Analysis of lee Soo-ah's First Following]
- Pic from Su-ah after yesterday's concert. Next morning, a guy named Kang Jik comments 'My wife' on it. Minutes later, he posts a Post-it saying 'Eat up, honey ^^ Love you ❤️' with an empty breakfast plate proof shot. Up to here, it screams creepy basement dweller's delusion-fap fantasy. But shockingly, minutes pass, and Su-ah likes the 'My wife' comment, adds him to her 7-year-empty first following slot, and even likes his feed post.

It looked pretty convincing: screenshots of her buried post with my liked comment, neatly compiled.
— OP Continues
- Two possibilities, of course. With all these pig slop incels raging, maybe Su-ah's pissed and grabbed some rando to troll. Or it's the real deal everyone suspects. Honestly, I wanna believe the former. The guy who boldly showed his face, Kang Jik... If he was hot or jacked, I'd curse, but seeing him, I just sighed relief: 'No way Su-ah would.'
"That fucker."
But the next speculation stabbed my heart twice with brutal facts.
That was the big reason debates raged even on my feed.
— Hater1
Average uncle vibes?
— Hater2
Just your run-of-the-mill street dude.
— Cynic
What does Su-ah lack to pick this guy..
— Troll
Misclicked while moderating comments
— AngryFan
Retreat
In this murky situation that oddly made me want to clear things up myself...
The smoking gun in the Hunter Gallery concept post was at the bottom.
— DevotedFan (11-Year Su-ah Fan)
- Sadly, as an 11-year Su-ah fan who's attended every anniversary concert, I have to accept this reality.. Unless that's AI-generated.. The handwriting on the Post-it... Tears blurring my vision, I'll stop here.

My Post-it handwriting matched the signed paper's perfectly side-by-side. Undeniable.
I went straight too.
Posted a screenshot of her like, follow, and all notifications on my feed with a caption.
— GangJik
Who are you?
Playing innocent, like I had no clue—like this attention on a joke comment was overwhelming.
Truth be told, I could just deactivate the unused account.
But that'd scream admission of guilt.
Denying now would be laughable anyway.
Playing dumb would redirect the arrows to Su-ah, demanding her explanation.
Seemed solid to me.
Though it'd just look like bragging about knowing her.

My husband
From the start, putting me in her first follow slot seemed deliberate—Su-ah had no intention of stopping.
"Fuck it."
[You followed 2_SuA.]
[You followed HyeJi__02.]
[You followed _Hana_.]
"Yaaah!"
I can't die alone.
Soon after, Kang Hana flung open my door and barged in.
