Mingyu’s Alleged Club Visit and Behavior
On July 29, 2024, SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu became the subject of viral accusations.

The messages included claims about Mingyu’s behavior at a club, rapidly gaining over 2.4 million views.
A video was shared by the MD, allegedly showing Mingyu at his table.
- “He’s just fcking looking at his phone a lot LOL.” “It’s been a long time since he has his fringe down.” “Ah, he purposely booked a table where people fcking don’t pass by. It’s a table where I have no clue why people spend money on.”
- “From the picture, it totally seems like a corner table LOL.”
- “Agreed.”
Claims of Private Booth and Drinking
The MD continued the conversation, suggesting that Mingyu’s table was deliberately secluded, with curtains drawn earlier than usual.
- “What’s more is that it was around [time] then, and we don’t normally put the curtains down then. We only put the curtains down around closing time. We put them down because they asked.”
- “That’s so people don’t know they came. What alcohol did he drink? Did he drink a lot?”

- “Of course. They asked for girls to be brought to their table, and then they chose to let them stay or go.”
- “What is his taste like?”
- “Well, we call such aesthetics [redacted]. Plastic monsters LOL.”
