Recently, a video clip of a live broadcast with ITZY’s Yeji went viral after she was “caught” with snacks.
During the live, a fan commented, “Let’s stop eating snacks from now on.”
💬 과자부터 끊어보자

To this, Yeji made a long response, begging fans to believe that she had cut back on snacks.
“Honestly, I’ve probably said this 500 times. I really have been eating fewer snacks lately. Please believe me, I’m trying to cut back. I don’t eat that much. I had no choice but to bring this one with me because I needed some sugar. Please believe me. I won’t eat in a way that will make MIDZYs worry about me.
I just happen to always be holding a snack when I see you guys. There’s nothing I can do about that. When I meet MIDZY, my sugar may be a bit low. To show MIDZY my angelic smile, I sometimes need sugar to recharge my energy.”

However, fans were furious that people were controlling what she could and could not eat.
Meanwhile, she previously apologized to fans regarding playing games, which sparked a huge response.
