Meanwhile, JYP Entertainment seemed to have released the statements in response to the latest protest truck sent to their company building.
On March 14, a protest truck demanding Hyunjin’s withdrawal from Stray Kids was sent to the JYPE office building. The protesting truck demanded that Hyunjin be removed from the group because of the third controversy he has been embroiled in.
The latest controversy in question involves the messenger screenshots allegedly involving the infamous former trainee Han Seo Hee. On March 11, various private messenger conversations between Han Seo Hee and an ordinary individual talking about dating idols went viral online.
Since the conversation went viral, Hyunjin was embroiled in rumors of a “one night stand” with the controversial Han Seo Hee, as netizens alleged that Hyunjin was the idol mentioned in the conversation. However, the original poster admitted to fabricating the chat logs.
