Yoo Ah In's camp stated that the rumor he caused the October 29 incident in the downtown area of Itaewon, Seoul was "completely baseless."

An representative from Yoo Ah In's agency, UAA, announced on November 1st, "Yoo Ah In departed the country on October 29th and is currently staying abroad. He is unrelated to the Itaewon incident".

Claims were made online shortly after the catastrophe that the disaster occurred when big celebrities and influencers visited Itaewon and crowds gathered to watch them.

Mentioned were actor Yoo Ah In, as well as BJ K and BJ Seya.

In reaction, BJ K stated in his own broadcast, "I was pushed into to the bar because of the crowd". BJ Seya further explained, "I was simply pushed by the crowd, and my makeup prevented anyone from recognizing me".

In the meantime, the police intend to investigate thoroughly any defamation or leakage of the deceased's personal information in relation to the Itaewon incident.

Already, six posts, including offensive ones, have been ordered to be investigated (internal investigation).

Additionally, 63 posts, including the spreading of false information, were requested to be deleted and restricted.

Jung Ilhoon first debuted with BTOB in 2012 and gained recognition for his talent as a rapper and songwriter. However, in 2020, he left the group after admitting to charges of habitual marijuana use.

Initially sentenced to two years in prison, his sentence was later reduced to a suspended sentence of three years during an appeal, allowing for his release.

Following the incident, he publicly apologized, saying, “I deeply regret the harm I caused to society and the disappointment I brought to those who trusted me. I promise to live righteously and not bring pain to anyone again.”

Fans are now eagerly awaiting Ilhoon’s new single, Lullaby, marking his first step back into the music world.
