Shocking — former Jewelry member Seo In-young is going viral after promoting her YouTube channel with a provocative 'public penance' concept.
On March 31, a YouTube Shorts titled 'Seo In-young Public Penance' was uploaded to her channel. In the clip, Seo appears in a white sobok (traditional white mourning attire) paired with high heels. She performs a full prostration and even pretends to drink 'royal poison' for dramatic effect, grabbing viewers' attention. She ends with the line, "I will turn over a new leaf. Please subscribe," making sure not to miss the channel promo.
Earlier, right after launching her channel, Seo uploaded a 'reading hate comments' video where she addressed past controversies. She spoke candidly about her on-air attitude, profanity scandal, and the process of marriage and divorce. In the video, she also reflected, saying, "I was very lacking and immature." The upload surpassed 1 million views in just four days, drawing major attention.
Through the follow-up Shorts, Seo tried a different kind of communication with her signature concept and performance. Fans reacted to the daring clip with comments like, "I've never seen such a glamorous sinner," "So cool," and "Surprisingly fun."
Meanwhile, right after opening the channel, her account was briefly restricted, but it is now operating normally. With Seo having been at the center of multiple past controversies, many are watching to see what she will show on YouTube next.
