LE SSERAFIM's Chaewon 'Drug' Rumor Confirmed a Fabrication
Source Music and police both shut it down back in 2023 (her break was a severe flu), and the anonymous user behind it confessed it was invented. Setting the record straight.
Let's set the record straight, because we're not in the business of letting a lie live rent-free. Back in October 2023, as police were looking into a high-profile celebrity drug case, a wave of baseless online rumors swept up several female idols — including LE SSERAFIM's Kim Chaewon — with zero evidence behind any of it.
Here's what actually happened. Chaewon's agency, Source Music, issued an official statement calling the claims flatly untrue, explaining that her brief pause from schedules was due to a severe case of the flu — she was back to activities on November 1. Police separately confirmed that the stories circulating about the female singers were misinformation, full stop.
And the part that matters most: the rumor didn't come from a source, a report, or an 'insider.' It came from an anonymous user on an online community who later admitted they had simply made the whole thing up — a fabrication that real people then amplified as if it were fact.
So to be clear, nearly three years on: there was no investigation of Chaewon, no case, and nothing true about any of it — just a lie that got caught. She deserved better then, and she deserves the record set straight now.

RIIZE's Sungchan Attends Milan Fashion Week for Bottega Veneta
he showed up for bottega and the front row simply reorganized itself around him.
not Sungchan turning a Bottega Veneta show into his personal runway, respectfully.
RIIZE's Sungchan attended Milan Fashion Week for Bottega Veneta, and — shocking absolutely no one — he stole the spotlight the second he arrived. the luxury-house pipeline for fourth-gen idols is real, and Sungchan is walking it in full stride.
the man is essentially a living campaign: the height, the proportions, the quiet-luxury ease. brands see him and start doing math. this is exactly the kind of global crossover that keeps expanding RIIZE's reach beyond the music.
BRIIZE, your boy is in Milan being a whole moment. as he should. 🖤
