Park Bo-gum and Jang Won-young are drawing attention for their comments about not using YouTube Premium.
Interest grew after past clips resurfaced showing both stars watching ads instead of using the subscription service. In one video featuring IVE, Jang Won-young noted that they had to watch an advertisement before viewing their music video, while other members mentioned using Premium.
Despite her global success, including reports of a high-value real estate purchase, her decision not to subscribe became a topic of discussion among fans.
Park Bo-gum also addressed the topic in a past appearance on the YouTube show Salon Drip 2. When asked about watching ads, he explained that he sometimes finds them enjoyable and even discovers new music through them.
The reactions highlight differing perspectives on digital consumption habits, even among high-profile celebrities.
