An influencer named Aida, who is reportedly based in Korea, shared a now-deleted video recounting her experience meeting a globally known idol. According to her story, the encounter began in Itaewon, where she met a man who claimed to be friends with a well-known idol.
Although she initially dismissed the claim, she later reunited with the same acquaintance, who invited her to meet the idol at a hotel for dinner. Despite hesitation from people around her, she decided to go. In the video, Aida described meeting the idol, who was dressed casually and looked different from his usual public image, making him difficult to recognize at first.
She later claimed she realized his identity during the meeting. She also alleged that the idol remained under management supervision, mentioning that his manager contacted him during their time together regarding a post on Weverse. The influencer further stated that she never saw the idol again and that shortly after, he became the subject of dating rumors.
Although no name was explicitly mentioned in the video, online speculation quickly escalated. Some netizens pointed to Sungchan of RIIZE after the influencer reportedly liked a comment suggesting his name. However, there has been no official confirmation, and the claims remain unverified. The situation has sparked divided reactions online. While some expressed curiosity, others criticized the spread of unverified rumors involving public figures.
Many pointed out the lack of concrete evidence and raised concerns about privacy and potential misinformation, especially given how quickly the video was deleted. With the original content removed and details remaining unclear, the incident highlights the rapid spread, and risks, of rumor-driven narratives in the digital age.
