Fromis_9 member Lee Chae-young (26) dismissed smoking-related rumors.

Earlier, on the 23rd, a video titled "Vote for Your Daughter-in-Law: Truth Show" was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'If You Open Your Mouth'. Fromis_9 members Na Kyung and Lee Chae-young appeared as guests.

In the video, MC Lee Yong-jin asked, "Is there anything you want to reveal through a lie detector test?"

Lee Chae-young responded, "I am a non-smoker," adding, "If they type my name, it will show cigarettes. I have always been a non-smoker and remain one. I have never smoked a cigarette even once."

Lee Chae-young directly addressed the 2023 controversy over electronic cigarettes on her SNS, drawing attention. At that time, an electronic cigarette was captured in a photo she posted, leading to suspicions that she might be a smoker after she claimed to have "lightened" it.

However, Lee Chae-young later explained, "It is truly rumor-mongering. I uploaded the photo, and an electronic cigarette appeared in it. It was very far from me. Because it was so pink, I didn't realize it was an electronic cigarette. Since I am a non-smoker," she clarified.

She continued, "Many people did not doubt me even slightly. Some said they would be disappointed if I didn't smoke."

Lee Chae-young repeatedly emphasized, "I have never smoked a cigarette in my entire life."
