The clip, purportedly from a private setting, shows Julie, Kangmin, and another VERIVERY member, Yeonho, interacting closely. This incident has raised questions about privacy and the safety of idols in the entertainment industry.

The video, which circulated on social media platforms, appears to depict the three musicians in a relaxed environment, leading to speculation about their relationships. Many fans have expressed concern over the breach of privacy, emphasizing the potential risks to the artists’ well-being. This incident follows prior controversies involving deepfake images of a KISS OF LIFE member, which have also drawn attention to issues of safety in the industry.

Company Responses Address Privacy and Reputation

On September 29, 2023, Xports News reported that both KISS OF LIFE and VERIVERY’s management agencies have issued statements in response to the leaked video. Julie’s agency highlighted that the footage pertains to her private life, asserting, “It concerns [the artist’s] private life, so there is nothing the company can comment on.” This response has sparked discussions about the boundaries of public interest versus personal privacy.
