Going to club and introducing girls? Male idols suffer damage due to “real name exposure”

First, the post causing controversy over Tempest Hwarang’s visit to the club not only mentioned Hwarang but also exposed the names of other boy group members who accompanied him to the club, intensifying the impact.

In the video released at the time, Hwarang confidently stated that he did nothing wrong during his club visit.

The problem arose when other boy group members were mentioned apart from Hwarang, leading to demands for fact-checking, which escalated the controversy further.

Eventually, the agency Yuehua apologized for Hwarang’s actions, promising not to repeat such behavior and ensuring special attention to prevent such incidents from happening again.

Fortunately, the secondary damage to other boy group members after this controversy did not spread widely. However, shortly after discussions about Hwarang’s private life controversy, news of his “suspension of activities” was announced along with a notice stating that trust had not been restored despite discussions.

Following Hwarang’s private life controversy, another major incident of “real name exposure” involving boy group members occurred.

This time, it involves former singer trainee Han Seo-hee.

On March 11th, online discussions heated up with a conversation believed to be from A, suspected to be Han Seo-hee.

In this conversation, A mentioned several boy group members, engaging in explicit dialogue such as “commoner killer”, “not my style”, “took off his hoodie” and more.

During this process, incidents such as receiving introductions to boy group members or inviting them to her house were disclosed, intensifying the controversy further.

Amidst the intensifying controversy, Han Seo-hee made a strong response by directly stating that the person in the conversation is not her and she will sue for spreading false information.

While it appears that the controversy surrounding the conversation associated with Han Seo-hee is being resolved, it seems that the boy group members mentioned by their real names in the conversation are becoming the target of scrutiny.

Netizens are trying to ascertain the veracity of the content, regardless of Han Seo-hee’s claim that she did not write it, leading to another public opinion push.

Furthermore, fans of the respective boy groups are engaging in rebuttals, leading to heated debates.

Above all, concerns for the boy group members who are likely to be the most affected by this incident, as well as worries about inevitable image damage, are increasingly becoming prominent.
