Some netizens shared a screenshot of the idol liking the post on an online community and the picture quickly gained attention and different reactions.
While some fans were happy and surprised to see Changmin liking the post, some fans of JYJ showed a rather sharp reaction to it. This is because it may cause rumors of a reunion of the five members.
