Kiss of Life member Julie has recently become the center of an online debate regarding her apparent wealth.
Despite the group reportedly not having received any wages, Julie has been seen with several luxury items, including Chanel bags worth thousands. Netizens have been quick to speculate about her financial background.
Netizens noted Julie's collection of high-end fashion items, sparking discussions about her family's financial status.
One commenter remarked, "Kiss Of Life still hasn't received any wage yet, but she already has a couple of Chanel bags and a bunch of luxury items worth thousands. I bet she's in a well-off family because her grandmother graduated from university."
Many netizens weighed in on the topic, with some expressing admiration and others showing frustration.
"For real, the fact that her grandmother graduated from college in that generation... It says everything," one user commented, highlighting the significance of higher education during that time.
Another user expressed their fatigue with the trend, stating, "ㅋㅋㅋ I'm so tired of people praising their bias being golden spoons."
The discussion also touched on the socioeconomic status of Korean immigrants.
"There are lots of Koreans living overseas who are well off," one user pointed out, while another added, "The fact that you're able to immigrate to the US means that your family is definitely not average."
Despite the controversy, some netizens couldn't help but find Julie's innocence endearing.
"But the capture is so cute, she looks like such an innocent kid ㅋㅋㅋ," one commenter noted.
