TWICE member Chaeyoung has just spoken out about suspicion of smoking indoors after a video recording her at an event in Seoul (Korea) was widely shared on social networks. The female singer affirmed that the object she held in her hand in the video was a drink, not a cigarette.
On August 12, Chaeyoung mentioned the incident on a fan communication platform. She said she initially had no intention of responding, but the continuous comments related to smoking made her decide to speak up.
It's not cigarettes but drinks. Look closely," Chaeyoung shared.
The female idol also said that she felt quite tired when the image at a party was followed by many speculations. Chaeyoung believes that with the number of people present at the event, it is unlikely that she will publicly smoke as is being discussed.
There are many people there, am I going to publicly do that? I'm not that thoughtless," she said.
Previously, a short video recording Chaeyoung from behind was shared on social networks and online communities. In the video, the TWICE member holds an object in her hand and puts it near her mouth.
Due to the rear angle and limited image quality, the object Chaeyoung held was not clearly seen. From this detail, some people thought it could be a cigarette and questioned whether the female singer smoked in a closed space.
The video is said to be recorded at a rave party held on August 11 in Seoul, South Korea. Chaeyoung was present at the event to enjoy music.
However, the shared video does not clearly show the cigarette or cigarette smoke. Therefore, speculations about Chaeyoung smoking mainly stem from images in a short moment, when the object she holds in her hand cannot be clearly identified.
After the discussions appeared, Chaeyoung actively explained and affirmed that it was a drink. The female singer's sharing partly clarified the controversial moment and showed that the previous image may have led to misunderstanding.
Suspicions appeared at a time when TWICE members were noticed for their personal orientation and contracts with JYP Entertainment. Chaeyoung was also among the members mentioned in information related to the possibility of changing her personal direction. However, there has been no official announcement about her departure from JYP.
Previously, Jeongyeon became the first member of TWICE to confirm leaving JYP Entertainment after 11 years of attachment. She signed a contract with VARO Entertainment but still continues to operate with TWICE. This makes fans particularly interested in the choices of the remaining members.
With Chaeyoung, the female singer is still active with TWICE. Last month, the group completed the Seoul (Korea) tour within the framework of the world tour "THIS IS FOR" at KSPO Dome.
