They came to her defense.
ITZY‘s Ryujin was spotted with what appears to be an e-cigarette.
On May 5, the JYP Entertainment singer posted a photo of herself in Amsterdam, Netherlands, on the app Bubble.
Fans quickly zoomed in and noticed that she was holding what looked like a purple vape cartridge.

It appeared to be the “Purple Snow” variant of brand Relx.
Vaping is the act of inhaling and exhaling an aerosol produced by an electronic cigarette. Since it is similar to smoking, it is considered inappropriate for K-Pop idols to be seen with such a device.
Fans, however, came to Ryujin’s defense. They noted that vaping is a personal choice that she, an adult, is entitled to make.

I personally think vaping is wack but it don't matter man, she's an adult bro let her be. it's realistically no different than drinking and I don't think anyone would care if she posted a pic with a bottle of beer https://t.co/S8ban3hPLP — ethn #1 gods enjoyer (@ethnlmao) May 5, 2024
In fact, many thought it was attractive that she was so open with her hobby.

Others speculated that she could have been holding lipstick or hand sanitizer instead of vape.

Either way, they made it clear that she is far from the first idol caught smoking.
