Knetz Dug Up An Old Picture Of ITZY’s Lia With Her Ex-Boyfriend

On March 9th a member of the PANN community posted a picture of ITZY’s Lia with the title “ITZY’s Lia with the part boyfriend hahaha”. And left a comment saying “So she’s not a motae-solo*” (*Motae-solo is used to define a person who has never a lover since the birth.).

In the selfie Lia and her rumoured ex are posing wearing sunglasses and smiling.

The original poster might have thought his words were going to be well-received, but most of the replies defended Lia’s private life and others pointed out it was odd how OP got the screenshot of a photo that was deleted almost 4 years ago.

This is not the first time a third-party posts a picture like this online. In March of 2017 a similar picture of other JYP idols was leaked and made viral. A “bed-selfie” of TWICE‘s Mina and GOT7′s BamBam received a huge amount of attention and speculations of a possible new couple.

Even though some netizens claimed the intimate picture was edited with the intention of harming the idols reputation, JYP Entertainment released a statement denying the rumours that surrounded Mina’s and BamBam’s relationship after the picture went.

“The photo is simply a candid with no other intentions. The two are simply labelmates. We will be taking strict legal actions on matters that defame our artists’ reputations”
