On September 2, in a shocking turn of events, a rookie boy group member's night out escapades stirred controversy, threatening to derail their promising debut career.

 A Twitter user took to the platform to share several photos and videos, alleging that the person in question was Junhyeok, a member of n.SSign, partying at a club.

Incriminating Photos & Claims

What makes this revelation particularly scandalous is that these events occurred shortly after the group's debut showcase.

The user's tweet ignited a frenzy on social media, with hashtags like #nSSIGN and #Junhyeon trending as fans expressed their shock and disappointment.

Soon after, another Twitter user shared purported photos of Junhyeok smoking outdoors with a woman, claiming that he had managed to complete the group's music show recording and a fan sign event before heading to what they described as a "hookup" or "hunting" bar.

They pointed to the date on the photos as evidence of this occurrence.

The controversy has sparked debate among fans, with international fans generally adopting a more lenient stance, emphasizing Junhyeok's personal freedom at 22 years old.

However, domestic fans often hold contrasting opinions on such matters.
