• "Who cares? She's an adult already" — Netizens Stand up for fromis_9's Jisun Amidst Vape Juice Allegations During Weverse LIVE

    Netizens have noticed an unusual item in the room of Roh Jisun, a member of the K-pop group fromis_9.

    During a livestream on July 1, fellow members Seoyeon and Jisun showcased their rooms on Weverse LIVE.

    Jisun's room revealed a PlayStation 5, a large television, and bouquets of flowers, catching viewers' attention. However, this innocent glimpse led to some unintended interest among netizens.

    A viewer took a screenshot of the room and highlighted a pair of containers in the left-hand corner, claiming that they contained liquid used for vaping.

    The packaging resembled a Korean e-juice brand called "얼려먹구싶오" which is used with e-cigarettes to produce vapor for inhalation.

    These e-juices come in various flavors such as lemon and watermelon, and are sold in cylindrical tubes with pointed tops for approximately ₩7,500 KRW (around $5.70 USD).

    Despite the controversy, Korean and international netizens defended Jisun online, arguing that it would be hypocritical to criticize her when male K-pop idols have been confirmed to be vape users.

    They highlighted instances where popular male idols were caught smoking during livestreams and expressed that her age as an adult should allow her to make her own decisions.

    It is worth noting that Jisun is not the first K-pop idol to be associated with e-juice. Other idols, including NCT 127 members Jungwoo, Taeyong, and Johnny, have also been seen with similar products.

    Some comments from netizens:

    "Who cares? Many popular male idols have already been caught smoking in livestreams. It's hypocritical to single out Jisun."

    "There are plenty of idols who are known to be smokers, so why target her?"

    "Do you really think she's the only one who has been caught smoking? Let's not be naive."

    "She's an adult, and she should be allowed to make her own decisions without being judged."

  • Kwon Min Ah worries fans with emotional post about fear and self-blame: “Everything feels scary, I need to get it together”

    Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

    On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
    “I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

    Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

    Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

    People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

    Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

    Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

    Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
