Fourth-Generation Idol Spotted At A Club?— Netizens In Disbelief After Hearing Explanation

Little things can become a big issue in the entertainment industry, especially in the K-Pop idol industry. Everything an idol says or does can be taken way out of context in the blink of an eye.

In particular, photos taken and posted online are difficult to believe and can cause misunderstandings until they are confirmed. Recently, an online community post garnered much attention for BAE173’s Hangyul, who was known for having many photos that could be mistaken for something else.

At first glance, it might look like he’s having a fun night out at the club, but it’s actually a photo taken at Lotte World with his teacher.

No worries, that’s not alcohol, it’s just water.

Someone posted a photo saying that they went to the Marines with Hangyul, but it turned out to be untrue and was a photo of him in middle school in his Taekwondo uniform.

Once again, it’s not soju, it’s just sparkling water!

It might look like he’s smoking a cig, but it’s just a Pepero stick.

Netizens were doing double-takes too, as it looked too real even they knew it wasn’t true!

• “???!!! Wow, I thought the teacher was so good-looking, but reading it he was the student lol..and an idol.”
• “So funny.”
• “Wait, he’s my idol! Hahah Hangyul. He is BAE173’s all-rounder leader! His visuals are the best, please give him a lot of support!”
• “Wait, the last photo totally looks like soju even though I know it’s not!”
• “The first photo is Lotte World? For real?”
• “Hangyul lololol I almost fell for the last photo.”
• “Lololol Hangyul.”

• “Bad boy vibes.”
• “I remember he had a strong impression on ‘Produce’ but his personality was totally different. I wish him luck.”
• “He really lives up to his name. He’s always going to be handsome forever.”
• “His bad boy vibe is crazy. I still can’t believe the first photo is of him at Lotte World.”
• “Ah so f*cking funny.”
• “But it’s so funny how his real personality is really humble and pure.”
• “He would’ve had to leave the industry if there were no explanation for the photos lol. Why are all his photos like optical illusions.”
• “That’s his face from middle school?”

• “He’s just born with ‘bad boy’ vibes.”
• “Bad boy talent.”
• “How can he have such strong ‘bad boy’ vibes.”
• “I love this type of style.”
• “But does he really have to go to the military? If he was at the facility for more than five years, aren’t they exempt from the military? Since he was there for seven years? I’m just asking because I really don’t know.”
• “Omg….why do they all look so misleading lol.”
• “Bad boy vibes!”
• “Wow, the first photo really needs an explanation in order to avoid misunderstanding.”

Honestly, we would be taking the photo the wrong way too if it weren’t for the captions!
