Recently, ITZY member Ryujin addressed the malicious editing and false sexual rumors surrounding her adjusting her jumpsuit during a concert due to discomfort. In a Bubble live stream, she apologized to fans (MIDZY) and explained the situation, sparking strong sympathy from fans and widespread criticism of her agency (JYP) for its inaction.
During a concert, Ryujin wore a jumpsuit that kept sliding up, causing significant discomfort and even pain due to tightness. Instinctively, she reached down to pull it back into place. This action was maliciously clipped, slowed down, reversed, and used to spread false sexual rumors, with related videos garnering millions of views on overseas platforms.
On the evening of July 18, Ryujin apologized and clarified the situation via live stream. She acknowledged that performing such an action in public was inappropriate and apologized to MIDZY. She explained that she felt so comfortable with her fans that she let her guard down completely on stage, leading to unthinking behavior. Emphasizing that "the jumpsuit was trying to split me in half and kill me first," she ultimately admitted her fault. She promised never to reach into her pants in public again, especially on stage. She jokingly added, "If I have to wear a jumpsuit next time, I might bring a pair of scissors on stage."
