"That's Not Cute": Fury Erupts After 15-Year-Old tripleS Member Seoah Filmed Post-Surgery
tripleS fans are outraged after a video showed 15-year-old member Seoah filming with a swollen face post-surgery, sparking a debate on idol labor rights and the treatment of minors.
K-Pop fans are expressing outrage after a video surfaced showing ’s youngest member, 15-year-old , participating in a photoshoot with a visibly swollen cheek, reportedly right after undergoing wisdom tooth extraction. The incident has sparked a fierce backlash against her agency, , and reignited debates over the working conditions of underage idols.
Behind-the-Scenes Video Sparks Backlash
The controversy began on December 21, 2025, when ’s official channel posted a behind-the-scenes video from a recent Christmas photoshoot. In the clip, ’s cheek was noticeably swollen, and at one point she appeared to use her hair to cover it from the camera. According to fans, the swelling was a clear sign she had just had her wisdom teeth removed.
What further angered fans was the video’s caption, which described ’s appearance as “cute.” Netizens immediately took to social media platform X (formerly Twitter) to condemn the agency. “That’s not cute.. that’s f*cked up,” one user wrote, while another commented, “Idols genuinely have little to zero employee rights.”
"She Shouldn't Be Working": Fans Demand Better Care
The criticism intensified as fans with relevant knowledge weighed in. One user, who identified as a dental student, explained the medical necessity of rest after such a procedure. “Proper rest helps protect the blood clot, reduces pain and swelling, and lowers the risk of complications,” they wrote, concluding that making her work was “srsly fcked up.”
The incident has brought the persistent issue of minor protection and labor rights within the K-Pop industry back into the spotlight. Fans are demanding that and other agencies prioritize the health and well-being of their young artists over demanding schedules.
This incident highlights a growing trend where K-Pop fandoms act as powerful accountability watchdogs. Armed with social media, fans are increasingly scrutinizing agencies' treatment of artists, particularly minors, forcing a conversation on labor rights and ethical management that the industry can no longer ignore.
