Actors Ji Soo and Shin Seung Ho are making headlines after a video of their visit to a club in Manila surfaced, dated December 10, 2023.
The clip, which gained attention on TikTok in January 2024, has sparked discussions among Korean audiences.
In the video, Shin Seung Ho is seen without a mask, wearing sunglasses and a cap, while Ji Soo is cautious, keeping his mask on throughout the visit.
The duo’s presence caught the eye of many, with Ji Soo even removing his cap to shield his face when he realized people recognized him.
Despite a fan’s request for a photo, Ji Soo left quickly after being tapped on the arm by someone who seemed to recognize him.
Contrary to criticism, some netizens defended Ji Soo, pointing out that he had faced public backlash earlier due to accusations of school bullying and sexual assault in March 2021.
His contract with his company was terminated in May 2021, leading to his enlistment in the army later that year.
Netizens shared supportive comments:
“Why is everyone upset about Ji Soo going to a club in the Philippines?”
[reply] “Exactly, let him enjoy!”
“Despite everything, Ji Soo is handling it well.”
“People need to give Ji Soo a break. It’s been a tough journey for him.”
“Shin Seung Ho is cool, and Ji Soo deserves a chance for a fresh start.”
“Remember, people can change. Let’s support Ji Soo on his path to redemption.”
“Netizens are the biggest bullies.”
“They hate bullies yet turned out to be the biggest bullies, 😔.”
“Let them be. All these artists should really sue each & every single one of the ‘fans.'”
“Are young men not allowed to go out and have fun? Kpop and KDrama fans are worse than the haters.”
“Why is going to a club a big sin for actors and actresses? Fans don’t own their lives.”
“To all the delulu people/fans out there, Jisoo and his friends are very much welcome to roam around and have fun here in our country or elsewhere. Btw, your cancel-culture is disgusting!”
