Popular BJ Gajuseyeon (real name In Se-yeon, 26) has addressed allegations of violating drug control laws during a live broadcast.
On September 1, Gajuseyeon appeared on the SOOP internet broadcast and joked, "Did you see the article? I brought one to keep you entertained."
He denied the allegations of drug use, stating, "The issue arose from me taking a sleeping pill prescribed to my boyfriend (BJ Kay)." He also clarified that he did not obtain the prescription on Kay's behalf.
Gajuseyeon explained, "After an incident with my boyfriend, I took his medication, which led to a visit to the emergency room where the issue was revealed, resulting in a police investigation."
During the broadcast, he appeared with a new short, bleached hairstyle. When viewers questioned the change, he responded, "This is unrelated to the police investigation. I was already under investigation when I had black hair and submitted 100 hair strands for testing."
He displayed a message on the broadcast screen stating, "I did not use drugs. I did not obtain a prescription on behalf of anyone. I was investigated before bleaching my hair. I apologize for causing concern."
During the broadcast, Kay also made an appearance and gifted approximately 1.25 million won worth of 'star balloons.'
Earlier, the Gangnam Police in Seoul announced on July 30 that they had charged Gajuseyeon and Kay with violations of drug control laws. Kay is also accused of having someone else obtain a prescription for sleeping pills, which he then received. He acknowledged this fact during a personal broadcast on August 27.
Kay began his internet broadcasting career in 2012 and has over 706,000 subscribers on his YouTube channel. Gajuseyeon, who has been active since 2019, gained recognition for her appearance on the Netflix original show 'The Influencer.' She also drew attention in 2024 when she was spotted with Bang Si-hyuk, the chairman of HYBE, in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles.
