During the live, Hwang Min-hyun chatted casually with fans and shared updates about his daily life, revealing that he has been practicing hard in preparation for his upcoming fan meeting. He also mentioned attending a movie premiere to support Park Ji-hoon, where most of the former Wanna One members reunited.
The idol further amused fans by unveiling an updated version of his doll merchandise, drawing laughter and warm reactions in the chat. However, it was his sincere comments about idol merchandise that truly resonated with viewers.
“When buying your favorite artist’s merchandise, everyone saves up to buy it, so it shouldn’t feel like a waste. I think you can’t buy merch just because of the artist; it needs to have practicality too. And when you wear or use the item, it shouldn’t make you feel embarrassed.”
Following his remarks, fans across online communities expressed strong agreement, praising his understanding of fan perspectives. Comments such as “He is truly the manual for idols” and “This needs to go viral” quickly spread.
Fans also pointed out that his words were reflected in the actual design of his merchandise. For his fan meeting photo card set, Hwang Min-hyun chose to include five selfie versions and three additional photo cards as a special bonus, rather than making all items random, a decision many fans appreciated for its consideration and value.
The moment further solidified Hwang Min-hyun’s reputation as an artist who genuinely listens to and respects his fans.
