While Ahn Jae, August, and Silas were living their absolute best lives in first class like three puppies who accidentally boarded the Titanic (pre-iceberg), the internet was erupting into pure madness.And it all began with one post on Z.
Original Z Post — @airportgremlin (OP)
"Okay so listen— I was at the airport with my fam 'cause we're sending my brother + sister-in-law off on their honeymoon. We walk past the VIP lounge and GUESS. WHO. I. SEE.
AUGUST. AHN JAE. AND SILAS.
YES, THOSE three. The GenPro former contestants.
I tried to go in to ask for an autograph but security was like "VIPs only ✋😒" and literally herded me out like I was a stray cat.
Which like… rude. But also questions?? How are they inside?
Anyway I had to leave 'cause my brother's flight was boarding. We're saying bye-bye and then I SEE THEM AGAIN. Walking to the gates. WITH. THREE. SUPERMODEL-LOOKING. FOREIGNERS.
Like babes… who spawned these creatures??? They looked like they walked out of a Vague cover shoot and accidentally entered Incheon.
SO I FOLLOWED THEM (shut up).
They walk past the economy line— LIKE IT HAS COOTIES— and head to ANOTHER GATE.
AND BABES. THEY WERE BOARDING FIRST CLASS.
FIRST. CLASS. LET THAT SIMMER IN YOUR POT FOR A MOMENT.
I pretended to be lost (Uscar-worthy acting btw) and asked the gate agent where that flight was headed.
…It's to LAX.
THEY'RE GOING TO AMERICA????
Anyway here are the pics I ninja-snapped. Don't judge me."
(Photos attached: blurry but recognizable silhouettes of August's sunshine hair, Ahn Jae's "done-with-life" walk, Silas' broad back, and three stupidly attractive foreign giants.)
Comments Section Becomes a Crime Scene

MeyoMeyo Lover:"Hold up… aren't those the same foreign dudes who went viral for being stupidly hot in Seoul this week??"
FriedDimsum:"Just checked. SAME JAWLINES. SAME CHEEKBONES. SAME 'I eat souls for breakfast' vibe."
BudakRamenThief:"OK AND??? One was seen at August's hospital…The girl was seen near Ahn Jae's neighborhood…And the dude with broad shoulders was seen near Big Hype's building where Silas trained.
Coincidence??? I THINK NOT."
Reactions Across the Internet: A Multi-Fandom Meltdown
The post spread faster than a spoiled idol dating scandal.
Within 20 minutes:
Instaglam had 200k reposts and 7 conspiracy reels with dramatic OST music.
Bodybook moms and aunties were arguing about whether the foreigners were "producers," "bodyguards," or "suitors sent by destiny."
TikYin was filled with edits of the blurry photos set to sexy slow songs titled:"When the man of your dreams appears in 144p."
Bluit was debating which foreigner was the hottest.
5chan went full chaos with threads like:
"THE GENPRO BOYS WERE ABDUCTED BY SUPERMODEL CULT???"
"WHY DO FOREIGN PEOPLE IN KOREA LOOK LIKE FINAL BOSSES??"
"FIRST CLASS???? WHO SPONSORED THEM, JEFFREY BOZOS??"
