Lovelyz Jin deletes video after exposure controversy

Former Lovelyz member Jin apologized when controversy arose after revealing the behind-the-scenes details of idol dating.

Jin recently posted on his YouTube channel, 'Is it okay to open everything like this...? A video titled 'Q&A about the idol life that makes you want to go crazy' was posted. The content was one in which the former idol answered fans' questions in a question-and-answer format.

In the video, Jin mentioned idols' romantic relationships and said that as they accumulate more years of experience after debut, the company doesn't really stop them. He also said that romantic relationships happen through music broadcasts or MBC's 'Idol Athletics Championships.' After the video became controversial, Jin deleted it and expressed his apology.

Jin added, "Whether I intended it or not, I think I clearly made a mistake in creating room for misinterpretation. I am truly sorry for causing controversy. I will delete the video."
