A Seoul-based influencer, Loren (@hotteoklover), has sparked a heated debate after posting a viral video on TikTok claiming that a globally recognized K-Pop idol is known for promiscuous behavior.
In her video, Loren shared the provocative caption, “Your favorite idol is probably a whore” before delving into rumors about a male idol who has supposedly “slept with every girl in the neighborhood.” According to her, several friends claimed to know someone who had been involved with the idol, fueling speculation about her personal life.
While Loren made it clear that she sees nothing inherently wrong with consensual relationships, she expressed surprise at how openly carefree this idol supposedly is, especially considering the innocent and carefully curated image that K-Pop stars are expected to maintain. He also noted that the idol’s fame is so extensive that he is recognized by virtually everyone in Korea and many fans internationally.
Concluding her video, Loren joked that if people were as beautiful as this idol, they might even feel empowered to do whatever they want.
TikTok quickly gained traction, with comments pouring in from curious fans. Many expressed disbelief, wondering why such rumors had not been debunked by infamous paparazzi outlets like Dispatch, while others jokingly pondered the possibility of moving to Korea just to satisfy their curiosity.
This controversy has once again highlighted the stark contrast between K-Pop idols’ public personas and the private lives they often strive to keep hidden.
