Former ALICE member Sohee and female star Ji Yoonmi — known for her appearance in Ulzzang Generation — are facing accusations that claim the two stars once worked at audit entertainment establishments. The claims surfaced online recently and have sparked heated responses from both.
According to the allegations, both women were involved in nightlife work prior to or during their entertainment careers. The accuser insists that Sohee worked at a bar from 2022 to 2023 and that she personally interacted with her during that time. She also alleges Ji Yoonmi met her husband while working as a hostess and has threatened to reveal more details unless the two stop responding with legal threats.
Sohee has firmly denied the accusations. In an Instagram post, she stated that she met her husband at a birthday party, not through any bar-related connections.
What’s this about some ‘1%’? I met my husband at a birthday party for an older sister I filmed with. I hear you need personal details to file a report, so if anyone knows who it is, please reach out. There seem to be so many people spreading ridiculous rumors. But I’m not going to let it get to me. I’m doing well and living happily.

Ji Yoonmi also pushed back against the allegations while making it clear she intends to take legal action.
It’s so easy for people to label a woman a bar girl in an instant. For those planning to say I worked in a bar — please, if you have any photos or know anyone real who actually hung out with me back then, let me know. I’d love to see it. Our lawyer must be having a hard time. Whatever else, I will never forgive that kind of slander.

Despite the denials, the whistleblower continues to post online, stating she has evidence and is willing to release it if necessary.
“What, you think acting all refined after getting married makes everything okay? Are you saying women who work in bars are trash? Rumors? Contact me. I’ve got all the proof. Are you embarrassed you worked in a bar? I get it — you’re older now, not that well-known anymore, and want to land a rich guy. I understand that as a fellow woman.
Still, you turned me into a liar. Can you swear on your heart that you don’t know [redacted name]? My customer says he saw you both.
Now that I’ve hit them with facts, they’re trying to threaten me with lawsuits. Why can’t you just admit you worked in the adult industry? Are you ashamed? If I’m lying, go ahead and sue me. We’ll see. I’ve got more than enough evidence.”

The controversy has continued to spread across social media and online forums, raising questions about the reliability of the anonymous claims and the damage they can cause.
