Wanna One Member Reportedly Seen Smoking

Park Jihoon is facing controversy after fans spotted what looks like vape liquid in a recent photo taken inside his car.

The controversy began when a fan account shared a shot from his commute to work. Zooming in, netizens claimed there was a bottle of e-liquid in the seat pocket. This sparked rumors that the actor and former Wanna One member might be vaping.

A Twitter user posted:

어제(6/2) 출근길에 차 안이 찍혔고, 사진 보면 좌석에 달려 있는 주머니 속에 전자담배 액상으로 추정되는 물건이 들어 있었습니다 사진 같이 보여드릴게요

담배 안 핀다고 다들 그러던데… 흠… 잘 숨겨보자…

Everyone says you don’t smoke… Hmm… Should try to hide it better.

Other fans pointed out he never outright denied smoking, explaining:

근데 담배펴도 시작이 전담이면
편의점 담배들은 모를수있음
박지훈 담배 안핀다고는 안했음
거짓말은 아님
근데 폈으면 10년 활동동안
이미 사생+ㄱ스탭통해서
들통났을건데 한번도 들어본적없음
고로 판단은 자유

But if he’s just starting out smoking with vapes, he might not know about the cigarettes sold at the convenience store. He never said he didn’t smoke. It’s not a lie. But if he smokes, sasaengs and the staff would already know about it since he’s been promoting for 10 years and he would’ve been busted. But we’ve never heard about it before. You guys can judge for yourself.

Others reminded fans it may not even be his vape liquid, as the item was found in the car’s pocket.

As the situation develops, Park Jihoon has not made any public statements addressing the vape liquid claims nor confirmed if it belongs to him. Fans and netizens continue to debate online.
