“If she’s such an innocent idol, why is she smoking?” — Netizen’s Comment

“The phone case is an endorsement brand’s slogan. Son Naeun only uploaded the photos to converse with her fans. She was surprised by the sudden controversy that she didn’t mean in the first place, so she deleted the photos. The cigarettes belonged to the staff member who was with her.” — Plan A Entertainment
