Tzuchen’s alleged girlfriend posted her accusations on Threads and tagged the idol trainee directly.
“You don’t even have any consciousness of being a public figure. You even managed to cheat while participating in an idol audition show? You cheated on me twice, with different people, during the two years we were together. I forgave you the first time, thinking you wouldn’t do it again and that you would change for the better for the sake of your career, but that wasn’t the case. I gave you a chance because I was dumb.
We broke up twice when we were together. It was 2023 when he cheated the first time. We broke up once because of this first girl (October 2023). I thought he didn’t have a good sense of boundaries.
(At the time, it wasn’t proven that he cheated. I believed his explanation.)”
– Alleged girlfriend
“I confirmed he cheated the first time after we got back together (in January 2024.) I personally saw intimate videos.
We broke up in mid-October, but they started doing it in September. He said he was sorry and would make up for it all the while doing stuff like this again and again? The second time was in 2024. That time, I also got to know he cheated after we broke up. I broke up with him in September this year and then discovered he got together with someone else as early as July.
(I asked for a breakup in August of this year, but he didn’t agree to it. I only broke things off entirely in mid-September when I firmly made up my mind.)
(The photos are of us when we were together, to prove that I’m not making things up.)”

The alleged girlfriend also provided chat logs to substantiate her claims.

“Screenshots 1 and 2 are from when we broke up the first time. At that time, I thought it was just like, as he said, that they’re ‘normal friends,’ so I chose to believe him. I discovered later that ‘normal friends’ can actually have relations in bed😅 There are even videos which I’ve seen. It’s so disgusting.”
– Alleged girlfriend
Girlfriend: “I know you two are close and went through a lot together. But, boundaries. You don’t like her that way, but that might not be true for her.”
Tzuchen: “I don’t message her every day. We’re just normal friends. I just happened to message her this morning. This is not what I’m trying to say.”
Girlfriend: “Are you done typing? What are you trying to say, then?”

In the second screenshot, Tzuchen seemingly wanted a break from the alleged girlfriend because he wanted to chase his dreams in Korea.
Tzuchen: “You didn’t have to care about me going there, but I actually cared a lot about it. I was treating these matters seriously, and I know you worked hard to accompany me in the past, but you didn’t want me to go. I was actually very annoyed back then because I was exhausted at the end of the day but still had to listen to you say things like wanting me to return quickly. I was so irritated and conflicted already, but I still had to care for another person’s feelings. I wanted to say this earlier, but coincidentally I got eliminated at that time.
I feel like we’re not suitable for each other right now. You’re in university with a new life and a new start. I don’t think you should waste your time with me. I’m still working hard for my future. Unlike you, I’m not going to a good university and don’t have a stable job. I feel very uncertain because I don’t think I’m having a normal life as a university student, but I chose this, so it’s okay. But I feel very pressured to take care of another person’s feelings on top of everything.
This is my last chance, so I want to put up a fight one more time because I’ve given up so, so much already. I want to see how far I can go with this. I’m sorry for neglecting you recently, but I want you to have your own life.
I’ve thought about this a lot, starting from deciding whether to go on Atom Boyz [another audition show]. Regardless, I don’t want to waste your time. I think you should live a good university life and meet new people and men. Don’t be scared of men. I’d be much happier that way, because I can’t care for another person right now.
To be honest, I really want to go back to Korea. I really liked it back then because it felt like I was living my own life.”

The alleged girlfriend claims that she believed what Tzuchen said in the second screenshot but later found out he was already cheating.
“I suspected they crossed the line already before we broke up, but I didn’t have actual evidence to prove it. I also believed him because I loved him.
When I saw the message in the second screenshot, I thought he suffered a lot. In the end, it was because he had another girl. (The third screenshot is my message to him after I confirmed he cheated.)”
– Alleged girlfriend
Girlfriend: “It’s so disgusting that you typed this long message. Cheating is cheating, but you made it sound so nice. Weren’t you embarrassed when you typed all that? Or did [name recanted] type it up for you to send? You said you couldn’t care for another person, but actually, you couldn’t care for two other people, right? You said you took the matters seriously, but it doesn’t seem that way, considering you had enough effort left to be in a relationship. You said you were conflicted – is it because you had to choose between [name recanted] and me? I don’t understand? You cheated quite openly. How disgusting.”

The next screenshot shows an alleged message sent by Tzuchen to the girlfriend after they got back together the first time.
“The fourth screenshot is when he apologized to me after we got back together. As I mentioned, I confirmed he cheated only after we got back together with the person that didn’t know boundaries. Sometimes I told him I still couldn’t get over it, and he would send me messages like this one.”
– Alleged girlfriend
Tzuchen: “I know you won’t ever feel better. I know you’re broken and won’t be able to be put back together. I’m still trying to piece everything back together slowly, but I’m so terrible I can’t do it. I’m making things even worse and making you feel even worse. I couldn’t breathe after going through your notes and secret account. I really can’t make things from the past better. Whenever you think or hear about it once, you need to forgive me again. Because I came back to you, you needed to forgive me. That’s a lot of pressure on you.
Don’t forgive me [repeated many times].
Sorry. I don’t want to make you ill. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I can’t make you feel better. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.”

The fifth screenshot shows a friend telling the alleged girlfriend Tzuchen cheated a second time.
Friend: “[name recanted] told me Lin Tzuchen has been dating a girl for three months. They got together before he went to Korea. There’s evidence, so it’s true.”
Girlfriend: “Oh my gosh. Can I see it?”

The alleged girlfriend then confronted Tzuchen, as shown in the next three screenshots.
Girlfriend: “What do you want to see? Do you have anything to say to me? Say it now.”
Tzuchen: “I’m at a loss right now, too. Sorry.”
Girlfriend: “Why are you at a loss? Aren’t you the one who clearly knows everything that’s going on?”

Girlfriend: “Why must you do this to [recanted]?”
Tzuchen: “[OP’s name], I know you understand me the most. I’m telling the honest truth right now. Anyone and everyone can hate me, but you can’t. I’m begging you not to hate me. Please…I kept bringing this on myself. I couldn’t resist the novelty of a new relationship. Whenever I came to my senses, it was too late.
I kept making mistakes over and over again every time and hurt you. I didn’t want to deceive everyone or scam anyone romantically. I just want everyone to like me. I think I lack the feeling of being loved, but I don’t know why. I hurt someone else every time and couldn’t control myself. I didn’t want things to come to this point. I’m so stupid. You’re smart; you knew everything but chose to believe me, not because you’re stupid or dumb but because I’m a bad guy. I owe you for the rest of my life.”

Tzuchen: “Thank you for being there for me through everything. You accompanied me through all of my experiences. Sorry. I’m the one who changed. Honestly, I thought I could repay everything I owed you, but I ended up owing you even more. I’ll stop talking now because I know karma will get me sooner or later. Thank you.”
Girlfriend: “What are you treating me as? You want me whenever you like it, but throw me away like trash when you don’t want me?

Later on, Tzuchen seemingly deleted the messages he sent to his alleged girlfriend.
Girlfriend: “You even deleted the messages. You had the guts to send them but not the guts to leave a trail behind?”
Tzuchen: “I just didn’t want you to see anything related to me. There are no other intentions. I haven’t forgotten what I said. I don’t feel good even when I read the messages. Sorry.”
Girlfriend: “Right. You treat others like this every time. You actually have a sense of guilt? Good luck to you, idol.”
Tzuchen: “Karma will get me, and you’ll be happy that day. Sorry.”
