On an online Korean community site, a conversation between the idol and his co-students was exposed by "A."
In particular, "A," who apparently shared about having a drinking party, was called out by Woong Gi, who has the username "Cha Woong Gi/Acting arts/20."
The idol said, "Hello! I'm Cha Woong Gi of Acting major. This is a group for the entire '21 class, and I think there are many excessive words and actions that cross the line. Also, I don't think having a 20-person drinking party is something to brag about at Konkuk University entrance."
"A," who read Cha Woong Gi's message said, "So what do you want to say?"
Another student, "B," also responded, "Oong Gi do you want to come? Shall we huddle together and play together?" replied in a mocking tone.
Some students also started criticizing Woong Gi, even calling him names. Surprisingly, the male idol remained calm and replied, "I said everything I wanted to say! It's not like we are asked not to gather with more than five people for no reason, that's why it's kind of weird to ask to come and drink at a party." Woong Gi apparently left the group chat room immediately after leaving the message.
Though the initial goal of "A" was to make fun of the idol, the people who are in the same group chat revealed that the cheering decreased when Woong Gi spoke up and fought with the people who are involved in the party.
The other student who was in the same chat room also conveyed how Woong Gi reprimanded "A" to watch his words when he called someone a "crazy b*tch."
