In a surprising twist, Korean netizens, often known for their harsh stance on idol dating and co-ed interactions, have begun enthusiastically shipping ALLDAY PROJECT’s Youngseo and Woochan, breaking from their typical patterns of disapproval.
Youngseo and Woochan are part of the co-ed group ALLDAY PROJECT. Since their debut, the pair has shown strong chemistry in behind-the-scenes clips, variety content, and fan interactions. From matching accessories to playful banter, subtle moments between them have sparked shipping and surprisingly, support.
They point out that Woochan is constantly looking in Youngseo’s direction. They have even coined a ship name for them, “Chan-Cat.”

During a recent radio show, he also gives her princess treatment by taking her water bottle and putting it away for her. In turn, she waits for him before they head to the stage.
Anyone want to ship Chan-Cat? Firstly, why I like this video is because Woochan put Youngseo’s bottle on the table for her, and Youngseo waited until Woochan was done tidying up before doing rehearsals together. They’re such a warm pair. What should I do? I need this ship to go viral!

In a viral video, a netizen also pointed out that Woochan introduced Youngseo as “a really pretty member” that “the group can’t do without.”

They point out that Woochan absolutely adores Youngseo, to the point where it is starkly obvious.

I can totally see from here how cute he thinks Youngseo is. Look at his lip corners!
This stands in stark contrast to Korea’s traditionally conservative idol culture, where dating scandals can tank careers. Male-female interactions, even in professional settings, are often met with criticism or accusations of “dating noise marketing.” But in Youngseo and Woochan’s case, the response has been overwhelmingly positive, with fans in absolutely support.
While neither artist has responded to the shipping hype, the positive attention is a rare moment of leniency from the typically scrutinizing Korean online community. Whether real or imagined, the buzz around Youngseo and Woochan might just signal a broader cultural shift in how idol interactions are perceived.
