1. When did the Seolhyun controversy begin? What was the trigger?

From the end of 2024 to the beginning of 2025, the word "flaming" about NMIXX's Soryun spread rapidly on social media.

 

On Yahoo! Answers and X (formerly Twitter), there have been a number of questions such as "Why is So-ryun the only one being criticized?" and opinions among fans are divided.

 

especially,

▪️So-ryun was in charge of selecting the songs

▪️They appear to have engaged in anti-Japanese behavior despite publicly professing their love for Japanese people.

▪️As the visual, he attracts a lot of attention and is prone to jealousy.

 

For this reason, it seems that a situation has arisen in which only So-ryun is being excessively criticized.

 

 

 

 

2. The truth behind the "trash remarks made to Japanese fans" controversy

 

The most talked about incident was the alleged "Suregi" (trash) comment made at the airport.
In the viral video, the conversation between the manager and So-ryun can be heard as follows:

 

🤷‍♀️Manager: "Please don't take pictures."
👩‍🦰Another staff member: "Maybe they don't understand Korean?"
😂So-ryun: "Unnie lol there's a funny line lol"

 

Some viewers claimed to have heard the word "suregi" (garbage) here.
The criticism was that he was an "insult to Japanese fans."

 

However, the actual video audio is extremely unclear.
Even Korean fans have testified that they "can't hear what they're saying."
Therefore, this "garbage statement" is likely to be a rumor with no clear evidence.

 

 

⚖️ Summary (Rumors vs. Facts)

item	rumor	Actual information
Statement	"Japanese people are trash"	Unclear, no confirmation
source	Short videos for social media (edited)	No official footage or evidence
reaction	A flood of criticism from Japanese fans	Many Korean fans are saying, "Is this a misunderstanding?"

 

In other words, the excised footage took on a life of its own and caused a firestorm.

 

 

 

 

3. What are the allegations of the leak of secret accounts and slander and fraud?

The next topic of conversation was the suspicion that Soryun had a secret account.
Posts such as "So-ryun was badmouthing her seniors on her secret account" and "She was receiving money from fans" were circulating on expose-the-public YouTube channels.

 

The rumours are as follows:

 

Contents of suspicion	detail
Badmouthing JYP seniors	She allegedly posted that Stray Kids' Han was "talking to me sexually."
fraud	There is a theory that he was selling autographed Polaroids at high prices through a friend.
Love exposure	A post hinting at a relationship with YOUNITE's Kyung Moon

 

However, the fact that the ID of the secret account matched Kyung Moon's birthday, "2003.6.29," was what sparked the controversy.
Specialist media have reported that the posted images appear to have been edited and there is no evidence of any change, making the accusations highly unreliable.

 

 

 

 

4. The background to the incident where a male fan made her cry

 

In April 2024, a video of Seolhyun crying at a fan meeting went viral.
The incident is believed to have started when a male fan in the front row asked, "Why didn't you look at my camera?"

 

Afterwards, Seol-yun wiped away her tears and continued to respond with a smile.
Fans were quick to comment, "Her professionalism is incredible" and "I want to protect her."

 

This incident also served as an opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding about Soryun.
The "fan who was made to cry" posted an apology on social media.

 

 

 

 

5. Is the person she is suspected to be dating YOUUNITE's Kyungmoon?

According to the Escape from Otaku Camp channel, there was a rumor circulating that Soryun had been dating YOUUNITE's Kyungmoon since their trainee days.

 

The only evidence given was that the secret account ID was Kyungmoon's birthday.

There are no photos, eyewitness reports, or testimonies from those involved.
It has been determined that the dating rumors are very likely a hoax.

 

 

 

 

6. Criticism of promotional photos and dissatisfaction with JYP

When NMIXX's new song promotional photos were released,
Only Soryun received criticism from some fans, who said her face looked strange and that the editing was unnatural.

 

However, this is due to lighting and makeup.
The unpopularity of the visual direction was turned into criticism of her personally.
It is analyzed that the reason behind this is dissatisfaction with JYP's directing policy.

 

 

 

 

7. Is it true that Seo-ryun has a bad personality?

 

On social media, people say that she has a bad personality and is sharp-tongued and cold, but
In reality, many people believe that he is modest, introverted, and humble.

 

He was called "Shogun" because of his outspoken leadership style.
It's known among fans that it's easily misunderstood.

 

 

 

 

8. Summary of fan and online reactions

The online opinions regarding the Soryun controversy can be categorized as follows:

 

position	Main opinions
Criticism	"Anti-Japanese," "His secret account is too dark," "He has a bad personality."
defender	"No evidence," "Poor thing," "Just a misunderstanding"
neutralist	"Popular people are more likely to be criticized" and "Don't judge until there is solid evidence"

 

The diffusion power of SNS is very strong,
This once again highlights the fact that we live in an age where a single misunderstanding or edited video can cause a huge outrage.

 

 

 

 

9. JYP's response and future plans

At this time, JYP Entertainment has not made any official comment on the matter.
However, there is a track record of taking legal action in the past in similar defamation cases,
It appears that they are once again closely monitoring the situation.

 

 

Soryun herself continues to work and is scheduled to participate in a new project in 2025.
Her social media activity is also kept to a minimum, suggesting a cautious attitude to "not cause trouble for her fans."

 

 

 

 

10. Q&A: Answers to questions fans have!

Q1. Did So-ryun really insult the Japanese?
→ No. There is no evidence of the statement and the hearing is uncertain. It is likely a hoax.

 

 

Q2. Does the secret account belong to the person?
→ The ID numbers just happened to match, and there is no conclusive evidence. It has also been confirmed that the IDs have been altered.

 

 

Q3. Is the love affair true?
→ There is absolutely no evidence of a relationship (photos, testimony from people involved, etc.), so the credibility is extremely low.

 

 

Q4. Why is So-ryun the only one being criticized?
→ This is thought to be because their overwhelming visual popularity attracts attention, making even the smallest of actions easily misunderstood.

 

 

Q5. How should we approach this as fans?
→ It is important not to blindly accept information, but to remain calm and wait for official announcements.
Taking an attitude that does not encourage flame wars caused by misunderstandings will protect the fandom.

 

 

 

 

11. Summary: A chain reaction of rumors and misunderstandings

This time, "Soryun Controversy"
It all started with unreliable information, such as airport footage and anonymous posts.

 

✔️Rubbish comments → unclear audio and no evidence
✔️Secret account leaked → Possibility of editing or fabrication
✔️Love affair rumors → No evidence
✔️ Bad personality theory → Rumors stemming from misunderstandings and jealousy

 

In other words, many of the flame wars are the result of misinformation and overreaction.
It could also be said that her "perfect visuals" and "high level of attention" create risks.

 

What fans can do is to have an understanding and make calm judgments based on facts rather than speculation.
I would like to warmly watch over Soryun's future as a member of NMIXX and as an artist.
