HYBE Idol Accused of Lying About Job Title

SEVENTEEN’s Jeonghan recently completed his military service, and fans have been flooding social media with congratulations.

A fellow soldier who trained alongside Jeonghan shared a heartfelt post online, revealing what it was like to be with him during their time in the military.

“While I was in Hongdae, I saw Jeonghan hyung’s congratulatory ads, so I thought I’d share some episodes from being in the same training camp as him.
Honestly, there are so many things I am thankful to him for, and I learned a lot of things from him…
How can I say it…of course, people will say that it’s a given that celebrities should show a good image, but after being in the same place as him for 24 hours, I saw a lot of different sides of him, and I think that is his true self.”

The post revealed that Jeonghan introduced himself not as an idol, but as a hair designer. Most soldiers didn’t realize who he was until later.

“There were 14 people in our unit, and this group would stay together throughout the training camp. What’s funny is that everyone in our unit, including me, didn’t recognize Jeonghan hyung at first. Actually, I think of two people who knew who he was but pretended not to.
Jeonghan introduced himself as a hair designer, and because he spoke so well about it, I just thought to myself that he must have a lot of clients looking that handsome.
Looking back on it now, it doesn’t make any sense. Because he was so handsome and his skin was even better than that of the youngest soldier in the group. I almost fainted after hearing how cold he was. It wasn’t until a certain event revealed he was an idol that most of us found out.”
