Over the course of their careers, idols maintain an unbreakable bond with their fans. From their very first stage to their first anniversary, and up to every other significant memory in-between, they share a handful of heartfelt moments that further prove the strength of their everlasting relationship.

Amidst some of these moments, idols are so thankful for the love and support they keep receiving from their fans that they can’t help but burst into tears either during a concert, a music show win, or a fan event. That being said, here are seven times fans made idols shed tears of gratitude.

1. When IU was cheered on by a single fan during a music show
When IU was performing “Good Day” on a music show, only one fan of hers was able to enter. The fan single-handedly took on the fan chant and screamed her lungs out, which got IU emotional during the performance. On that very day, the idol won first place and broke down in tears while thanking her fan for cheering her on. IU also shared that the fangirl inspired her to become a singer who can take care of her fans. (Starting 2:32)

JYP Entertainment's J.Y. Park appeared on JTBC's 'Newsroom' on May 5 to talk about a variety of things, including IU, who auditioned for the agency, and EXID's Hani, who was a trainee.

J.Y. Park said in relation to losing these now successful ladies, "The timing was not right for their color or the direction they were going. If anything, it could be that they did well because they left."

In relation to being the oldest singer in first place, J.Y. Park said, "After being first place for two weeks, I've now come down. I was called the oldest. I don't know if I should be happy about that. When I debuted, I wanted to become a long-time singer more than a popular singer. I especially wanted to be a dance singer and in that regard, I am both proud and a bit scared as I wonder why it's only me [remaining as an older dance singer]."
