Suho, a member of boy group EXO, was accused of being a shoe thief and became the victim of reckless rumors.
Recently, Stylist A, who worked with EXO Suho, accused a male idol who works with them of stealing their shoes.
In particular, A wrote on their Instagram story that, “It has been 6 months since you said you’d return (my shoes) to me. When are you giving them back? I don’t like to act like this on SNS, so please sort things out before I reveal your real name. Stop living a pretentious life and get a grip on yourself. Stop contacting people around me and pay for what you need.”
According to Stylist A, the male idol in question stole more than 300 pairs of shoes that the stylist personally bought. The male idol in question allegedly borrowed the shoes and constantly “forgetting” to give them back, angering the stylist, who threatened to reveal the idol’s name.
It is known that the price for these 300 pairs of shoes can amount to around 100 million won.
The stylist’s SNS post spread quickly in online communities, sparking speculation about the idol’s identity. Some netizens immediately suspected EXO Suho, who previously worked with stylist A, and owns around 500 pairs of sneakers. In the end, Suho was suddenly labeled a “shoe thief’ over an unfounded speculation.
As a result, Suho, who became the victim of malicious rumors, quickly took action. Suho’s agency, SM Entertainment, denied, “The posts that are currently being circulated online and the male idol speculated to be Suho are completely unfounded. We have nothing to do with Suho as they are clearly false facts.”
SM also added, “We are preparing to sue for defamation due to false information through our legal representative. WWe will take strong actions against the reckless spread of related rumors.”
Regarding this, stylist A is not revealing their position. Currently, the “shoe thief” article has been deleted, and the SNS account of stylist A cannot be found.
