An alleged photo of actor Nam Joo Hyuk drinking with his friends while still underage has become a hot topic on various online communities. 

A slightly blurry screen shot of a computer screen, the image seems to indicate that the photo was uploaded on the classic blogging platform 'Cyworld' in September of 2011. Of the four individuals caught by the camera lens, the second figure from the left is the only figure whose face was caught clearly. In front of the four boys, in the right corner of the photo, there are a few green bottles with blue caps, believed to be soju bottles. Below the photo in the 'Cyworld' post, a brief description reads, "A shot of Joo Hyuk."

If the individual in the photo is in fact Nam Joo Hyuk, the photo would have been taken when he was a second year in high school, as the star was born in 1994.

Recently, actor Nam Joo Hyuk was anonymously accused of partaking in school bullying during his high school days. The actor's agency has denied all accusations, warning legal action against false accusers. 

Now, netizens are reacting to the online photo with comments like,

"Is that really him? I can't tell."

"It does look like him from his high school days, before he got braces."

"Wow, if that's really him... I guess no more neutrality."

"It literally says Joo Hyuk shot. If you grew up around that era and you had Cyworld, you know exactly what kind of kids 'show off' their underage drinking party photos..."

"One thing after another keeps coming up..."

"Judging by that photo, it doesn't really look like he was a 'quiet, reserved student who was only interested in basketball' like his agency said."

"If the agency doesn't address this properly, then a lot of people who have stayed neutral will start to side with the victims."

"It's not exactly uncommon for students to try drinking once or twice before they graduate high school. But the ones who actually post the pics online and show them off, they're usually 'Iljin' or ones who get around."

"The vibe of that photo and the way the poster just uploaded without caring that there's underage drinking going on... Looks like an 'Iljin' to me."

Meanwhile, when contacted by media outlets regarding the recent online photo, Nam Joo Hyuk's agency Management SOOP responded, "Right now, we are busy dealing with the school bullying accusations, and thus we cannot give a statement regarding this matter."
