Popular Idol’s Pre-Debut Photos Spark A Heated Debate

DAY6 Young K‘s pre-debut photos have sparked a heated debate.

Recently, pre-debut photos of Young K gained attention from when he was in Canada.

While they might seem unexpected for an idol, they are the kind of photos many people of Young K’s age are used to and wouldn’t be amiss in high school students’ phones.

Yet, the OP of the post seemed to use the photos in a negative way.

I was on the verge of becoming a fan, but after finding this, I gave up, lol. Everyone was promoting him as being that good boy, but these pictures were right there on Pinterest! I’m genuinely surprised. And the first picture is from when he was in middle school? Was I the only one who didn’t know?

Yet, while one netizen agreed in the comments, most hit back at the OP for purposefully bringing them back during DAY6’s success with their recent comeback. Others said they found no issues with the photos and that he wasn’t doing anything wrong, especially as he went to an international school.

• “What’s the issue with these photos???”
• “Aside from the photos, the OP’s intentions are just so obvious that it’s funny.”
• “It’s just a kiss; people do that sometimes. You’d think they were underage smoking and drinking from the way people react.”
• “Wow… I used to like him, but after seeing the photos, I’m completely disappointed. Can’t trust a celebrity’s image at all.”
• “This must be his Old-K era, when he was a bit rough around the edges. When they first debuted, Young K really had a bad boy vibe going for him.”
