A video of a former idol survival program contestant smoking an e-cigarette on the street is going viral on X.
On April 9 KST, a netizen shared a video on X and wrote, "Did Kim Jeong Min from 'Project 7' lie about his age...? Because how is a 2007 kid smoking an e-cigarette. He must have lied about his age."
Kim Jeong Min, a former contestant on the JTBC idol survival program 'Project 7', is a trainee at Hi-Hat Entertainment. He appeared on 'Project 7' alongside fellow Hi-Hat Entertainment trainees Song Seung Ho and Jung Se Yun, garnering attention for their strong teamwork. Of the Hi-Hat trainees, Song Seung Ho ultimately made it into the program's winning group, Close Your Eyes.
In response to the alleged video, netizens reacted with comments like,
"He's way too young for that but his age aside, smoking on the street? That's illegal??"
"Is that kid really 17??"
"I really hate people who smoke on the streets."
"Okay obviously this boy knows nothing about being an idol."
"He doesn't even have his ID yet but he'll blow smoke in your face if you want it as fan service."
"Wow he literally does not give a d*** about smoking in public."
