4th Gen Idol Openly Admits To Using Pads To Make Body Look Better

Soloist Soojin is gaining unexpected attention after a wardrobe moment during a recent performance revealed something fans hadn’t noticed before — the use of shoulder pads.

During the stage, Soojin delivered her usual sharp choreography and intense expressions, but mid-performance, she seemed to be bothered by something on her back. She reached back with one arm.

She quickly took it out of her shirt and tossed it offstage, continuing with her show. Later on, Soojin admitted to using pads.

During “Drop Top,” well, I was using shoulder pads today and they kept slipping. I was so panicked. I’m sorry guys.

Within minutes, clips spread across online communities, and the discovery became one of the night’s biggest talking points. Rather than embarrassment, the moment ended up boosting her popularity, showing fans a candid and honest side of her. After all, while most idols use such body-altering tools, not all can admit to it. Kudos to Soojin for her honesty!
