Red Velvet member Irene issues an apology regarding accusations of rude behavior
K-pop girl group member Irene of Red Velvet has released an apology letter after rumors circulated that she is the female Korean singer in a blind item posted by a K-pop photoshoot editor.
In a post from the photo editor's private Instagram account, she mentioned an incident where a celebrity verbally attacked her.
Netizens started speculating the member is either Irene or fellow Red Velvet member Seulgi, due to the hashtags #psycho and #monster used in the said post. Irene and Seulgi released a mini album called Monster earlier this year.
However, rumors leaned more towards Irene after the photo editor liked a post about Irene having temper tantrums.
