Grape Juice Se-yeon (26, real name In Se-yeon) is under police investigation for violating drug laws. Her representatives stated that the controversy arose from a conflict with her boyfriend, BJ K (36, real name Park Jung-kyu).
On September 3, Grape Juice Se-yeon's legal representative, Myosu, issued a statement explaining, "This matter originated from Grape Juice Se-yeon taking sleeping pills possessed by her partner during an escalating conflict, which led to her being transported to the emergency room for treatment."
Myosu clarified, "Grape Juice Se-yeon did not receive a proxy prescription for the sleeping pills nor was she involved in any illegal possession or use of drugs or marijuana."
They added, "At the time, Grape Juice Se-yeon did not fully understand the legal implications and risks of taking someone else's sleeping pills. However, after consulting with legal advisors, she has come to realize her mistakes and is deeply remorseful."
In response to suspicions that her recent hair bleaching was an attempt to evade drug testing, Myosu stated, "Grape Juice Se-yeon voluntarily provided her medical prescription and treatment history to the investigative authorities on August 4 and submitted her hair for testing without any alterations such as cutting or bleaching on that day."
They further noted, "The day Grape Juice Se-yeon changed her hairstyle with cutting and bleaching was approximately three weeks after the hair submission, on August 25. Contrary to some allegations, this change in style is unrelated to the police investigation."
Finally, Myosu requested that the public refrain from spreading unfounded rumors and malicious slander regarding Grape Juice Se-yeon’s alleged illegal acquisition or use of marijuana or drugs, and expressed sincere apologies for any distress caused.
Previously, Grape Juice Se-yeon and her boyfriend BJ K were implicated in a drug law violation case in July. It was revealed that BJ K had received proxy prescriptions for sleeping pills through an acquaintance. This situation came to light when Grape Juice Se-yeon was taken to the emergency room, and both individuals are currently being investigated as suspects.
BJ K has publicly acknowledged his charges. During a live broadcast on August 27, he stated, "I apologize for creating this issue," and added, "I am now receiving prescriptions properly."
Born in 2000, Grape Juice Se-yeon began her broadcasting career in 2019 and gained recognition through appearances on Netflix's original variety show 'The Influencer.' She drew attention in 2024 when she was seen with Bang Si-hyuk, the chairman of HYBE, in Beverly Hills, USA.
BJ K, born in 1989, is active as a streamer on SOOP (formerly AfreecaTV). In April, he publicly confirmed his relationship with Grape Juice Se-yeon, who is 11 years his junior.
