Many were downright excited seeing the management team that made big stars of K-Pop acts Super Junior, Girl's Generation and Red Velvet, among others, in the Instagram message requests of Niana Guerrero, one of the country's most popular YouTubers.
Well, we are not surprised.
It's not as if Niana is bereft in talent.
Unlike other YouTubers who eked fame creating inane content, the 15-year-old made her name via her excellent dancing skills.
Note that respected names in the field including LA-based choreographer Matt Steffanina expressed admiration of her skills.
Even EXO's Chanyeol, who's under SM Entertainment, complimented her dancing at one point.
If SM Entertainment is actually planning to make a huge pop star out of her, well, they are betting on a sure winner.
Fans agree.
While no one knows exactly what the message is about, many are already excited.
Some of the comments:
"SM messaged?! They’re probably gonna ask her to make a choreo..."
"Next SM trainee/rookie??? Woahh if ever, she's gonna be the first Fil... so proud!!!"
"First my Chanyeolie replied to her dm and then followed her before, then now SMent message her and she just seen it?! Omoooo!! Iba ka ghorl!"
