4th-Gen Female Idol Lets Out Religious Identity, Sparks Major Reactions
In the K-Pop idol industry, artists are expected to maintain a candid dynamic with fans, which often means giving them access to their personal lives and information to some extent. However, it is not unusual for idols to keep their religion out of the public discourse, unless they get asked about it specifically. One such candid admission by a fourth-generation girl group member about her religious beliefs recently drew significant attention on social media.
The idol in question is Sullyoon from NMIXX.
Recently, Sullyoon was chatting with fans on a fan communication platform when she received a question asking whether she was Christian. Sullyoon responded, saying she didn’t particularly follow any religion.
However, what amused netizens was the follow-up. The idol humorously admitted that, despite being no religious, she actually prays to all the gods on important days.
This hilarious response has since gone viral on social media, prompting fans to add their own humorous commentary.
