Write an Apology, Irene Red Velvet Admits to Being a Celebrity with Rude Behavior in Editor's Post

Kapanlagi.com - Recently, Korean netizens were shocked by an Instagram post uploaded by a photoshoot editor and stylist about a celebrity whose name was not mentioned. In the post, the editor recounted an unpleasant experience where they shed tears and felt humiliated due to the celebrity's rude behavior and words. The editor described the bitter experience as being like hell.

Feeling treated unprofessionally, they expressed their intention to take action against the celebrity. The editor has strong evidence in the form of audio recordings of the intense scolding they received.

The post ended with the hashtags #psycho and #monster, which sparked speculation that the person referred to is either Irene or Seulgi Red Velvet. As known, Psycho and Monster are titles of songs popularized by the Red Velvet sub-unit. Netizens' suspicions grew when the editor deleted a praising post they wrote about Irene in 2016.
