She admitted it has been difficult to deal with it.
i-dle‘s (formerly known as (G)I-DLE) member Miyeon called out the leaker of her private photo on national television during her latest variety show appearance.
On May 24, KST, i-dle appeared as guests on the popular JTBC variety show, Knowing Brothers. The episode was full of funny conversations and behind-the-scenes anecdotes revealed by the members.
During one of the segments, host Lee Soo Geun pulled out a pre-debut photo of Miyeon, saying, “This is going around the internet, so I prepared it myself.”
The picture, which was from the idol’s elementary school days, showed her sporting full bangs and glasses, highlighting her childhood innocence despite the unmistakably pretty facial features. But Miyeon was left flustered at Lee mentioning that at that time, her dream was to become a “femme fatale entertainer.”
The i-dle singer then jokingly declared a “wanted notice” for the person who leaked this picture on the internet, highlighting that it had been going viral for five years, much to her agony.
I really want to find the friend who leaked my graduation photo…I just want to say one thing — because of you, it’s been really hard for me!
— Miyeon
She even left a video message for the leaker, asking, “Hey! Have I ever done something wrong to you?”
Miyeon’s playful callout made the whole studio burst into laughter, highlighting her expertise in handling curveballs on entertainment shows.
