Red Velvet member Irene was seen drunk after consuming alcohol and durian on YouTuber Lee Young-ji's YouTube channel, prompting widespread concern over the production team's inadequate pre-production research.

On the 14th, the YouTube channel 'Cha-jwi-ppul' (short for 'Nothing Worth Mentioning') uploaded a video titled 'Irene Viewing Prohibited. Why Is This Sister Pushing Herself So Hard?'

That day, 'Cha-jwi-ppul' stated, "Although she entered as an extreme introvert I-rin, one drink melted her shyness completely. She thoroughly enjoyed the drinking games and evolved into an extreme extrovert E-rin. A drunk cabbage who fully enjoyed both alcohol and games."

In reality, Irene was visibly intoxicated during filming. Since she had never shown signs of drunkenness since her debut, fans responded with comments such as "I've been a fan for about 11 years, and this is the first time I've seen her drunk," and "She's really cute when drunk."

However, some expressed concern over the filming environment. Durian, which Irene consumed alongside alcohol, contains substances that hinder alcohol metabolism, classifying it as a fruit that should not be eaten with alcohol.

Durian contains sulfur compounds that interfere with alcohol breakdown, causing acetaldehyde—a byproduct of alcohol metabolism—to accumulate in the body and trigger hangover symptoms. Consuming durian with alcohol can lead to indigestion, heartburn, elevated blood pressure, and potentially life-threatening conditions such as respiratory failure and arrhythmia.

In fact, one Thai fan commented, "In Thailand, it is widely known that durian and alcohol should not be consumed together. Both durian and alcohol generate heat in the body, making their combined consumption extremely dangerous; there have even been documented cases of death. Lee Young-ji, Irene, and the 'Cha-jwi-ppul' staff may not have been aware of these risks since they are Koreans unfamiliar with durian."

Another overseas fan warned, "Consuming alcohol and durian together can be fatal in severe cases," and "There was a past incident where a Thai man died after drinking beer and eating durian."
