It is unclear who hacked the account is or what their motivation was, but on March 19 the couple's private pictures and username were posted to a online forum for netizens to see, including couple pictures. Many people rightfully defended both Sana and SeoJoon's privacy and called for the post to be deleted.
The post revealed few selfies of the two, as well as a picture of their hands making finger hearts together at the beach, photos of the two on dates and kissing. Not only were images posted to other online communities but it was also revealed that the couple not only follow fan accounts, but also their closest friend's official accounts. Out of respect for the couple's privacy, the pictures will not be made available here.

This incident has led many fans to feel bad for SaJoon couple—despite the terrible circumstances under which fans have found out about it. One fan said, "I'm sure they both feel taken aback at their private couple's account gotten hacked and leaked ... but I have to say, it's difficult for an idol's private personal and couple accounts to be as clean as SaJoon couple's, so it's quite refreshing to see that they are just like every other couple..." While another fan commented, "Our Cutie-Sexy couple's private account is so cute ㅠㅠㅠ and it's so cute how they was follow so many fans ㅋㅋ."
But the fact remains that the couple's privacy was violated. While it's a relief that their private content did not lead to any major controversy (in fact, it's amazing to see how cute their relationship seems!), netizens continue to rally in defense of SaJoon Couple, urging others to respect their privacy and avoid posting or sharing the leaked pictures.
This is not the first time an idol's account is hacked— SeoJoon's fellow group-mate and Leeteuk, had to repeatedly ask for hackers to stop trying to hack his account on Instagram. Similarly, both iKON and BTS had their TikTok accounts hacked back in early 2021. The difference, however, is that those were their official accounts, whereas in SaJoon couple's case it is their private couple account.
Hopefully this is the last time it happens, but in the meantime fans can continue to support SeoJoon couple and their right to keep the details of their relationship private !
