In particular, the video which was taken on the 9th, contained Minho reacting to IVE Jang Wonyoung's trending "puppy refund" clip where she showed her cute acts and lines.

The video goes like:

"Where's the refund at the puppy cafe? I did a woof woof. I even winked at you. I did the puppy's ears, too. That's too much!"

Initially, Minho's expression turned serious while watching the video but his eyes slowly widened after seeing the series of cute acts of the female idol.

At first, he seemed quite embarrassed at the request of a Shawol (fandom name) to copy it. However, for a moment, Minho took courage for the fan.

He recreated the "puppy refund" video and the fan who made him do it immediately shared it on Twitter, hereinafter, X and it went viral with over 2.7 million views and 628k views for two separate clips!

The fan who shared it then shared the messages:

"There's no refund in the dog cafe! You foolish dog... You're so lovely."

She added:

"I showed him a video of Princess Wonyoung, and he worked really hard. I'm sorry I made you do this."

• "His facial expression is amazing."

Meanwhile, SHINee, the group to which Minho belongs, is a five-member team from SM Entertainment that debuted in 2008.
