7 Unhinged Rumors That Would Shatter The K-Pop World If They Were Proven True

While there are no shortage of rumors in the K-Pop world, these 7 rumors might turn the entire industry upside down if they were proven true.

1. TWICE’s Momo is a high-ranking member of the yakuza.

Momo slays every performance, but is she also executing rival gang members in her spare time? Rumor has it she wasn’t added to TWICE’s lineup for her talent but because J.Y. Park was terrified of what might happen to him if she didn’t debut!

3. Bang Si Hyuk orchestrated the Produce 101 voting fraud scandal.

After a thorough investigation, police confirmed that Mnet falsified results for contestants across every Produce series, including Produce X 101, to unfairly eliminate certain contestants and debut others. Producer Ahn Joon Young partially admitted to rigging the voting for every season of Produce 101 during police questioning.

But what if Ahn wasn’t the true mastermind? According to one “unhinged theory,” HYBE founder Bang Si Hyuk orchestrated the scandal and X1‘s disbandment to clear the way for TXT‘s success.

4. NCT’s Jaehyun has eight children and one wife…who works at KFC.

It seems that RM isn’t the only idol who supposedly has a secret family. If Jaehyun really did have nearly a dozen children (who would no doubt inherit his talent), he would deserve an award for “K-Pop’s Best Secret-Keeper.”

6. Stray Kids’ Bang Chan is Pitbull’s nephew.

While most of these rumors have no photographic evidence to back them up, this one does. Sort of.

During a broadcast, Bang Chan told fans that he is not the nephew of a famous American rapper, but he knows how the rumor started.

Um, unfortunately, no. I mean, I wish. I wish. It’d be pretty cool if he was [my uncle], but unfortunately, no, because I think someone photoshopped my baby face with a photo that he was on, so I think that people got mixed up.

7. NCT’s Mark has an army of clones.

While this rumor seems farfetched (and it is), it’s not that much of a stretch, considering that Mark debuted five times. After debuting with NCT U, he became part of NCT 127, NCT DREAM, and SuperM, and he made his solo debut. In other words, he’s busy. If anyone needs a clone or two to lighten their workload, it’s him!
