The short clip has since been cut from the vlog. However, she is still receiving criticism from both Korean and international netizens over the video as it spread online.

However, some netizens have proposed a theory of what could actually be happening in the clip. While many believe the device is a vape or electronic cigarette, others are convinced there are other options like diffusers that are said to contain health benefits and vitamins.

However, it’s difficult to decipher the device in the clip, so the theory remains up in the air. Some believe the square shape resembles a diffuser more than a vape or e-cigarette, while others think a diffuser would not need to be edited out of the vlog.
