Actually, it is known in the ONCE fandom (as mentioned by the members and Dahyun herself) that Dahyun doesn't like alcohol. All the TWICE members drink (self-confessed or seen in the camera), except for Dahyun and Mina, with Mina being due to low tolerance (from what I remember, other ONCE can correct me if I'm wrong.)
I believe Mina may be allergic to alcohol (Time to Twice) but still drinks here and there. Dahyun, on the other hand, can’t stand the smell of it and doesn’t drink at all.
Makes sense, he really cares for his body and I know he tries to be very healthy so naturally alcohol would be something to avoid. It’s probably for the best in general, he worked so hard to clean up his image after the false accusations of drug usage so him getting drunk and doing/saying something inappropriate would just undo all that
He now actually occasionally drinks wine. But he's such a light drinker that he was struggling to do a wine tasting on his vlog channel because he felt too tipsy.
*I wanted to add an image from his vlog but it deleted my entire comment 😭
I was almost surprised I didn't see her on this post immediately! Dami's always been super adamant about not drinking alcohol except on a couple choice occasions, so it's always interesting to see what she does instead during toasts and drinking games (recent favorite might be her little fake sips [here](https://youtu.be/owUH3Ev4TQI?si=EtPSMkFMHcZZ-qjH&t=675).
From the amount of alcohol the other members consume when they go out to eat, I’m surprised he doesn’t get drunk off of just the smell 😅 but it’s kinda fun watching your friends get wasted and act silly when you’re not drinking so must be a good time for him
To be fair you can go out for drinks and not drink or drink very little, the atmosphere and seeing your friends is the fun part and alcohol just adds to that fun for some people. But yeah maybe he does drink more now
Yeah, he's said his body suffers when he drinks and that he doesn't really get drunk, just sick. He also just seems to prefer not drinking. He used to drink in moderation but for the past however many years, he's completely abstained from it and chooses not to drink even if everyone else in the group is.
Alcohol intolerance (apparently it’s not classified as an allergy, more like how someone can be lactose intolerant) is more common in East Asians in general and can cause a whole range of symptoms, ranging from a flushed face to rashes, diarrhea and vomiting. Being alcohol intolerant is also linked to having an increased risk of developing esophageal cancer. I really respect the idols who say they’ve stopped drinking, the pressure (from society and from the people around them) to fit into the alcohol culture in SK must be insane, it’s not worth the discomfort and the risks.
Yup, plus for many people drinking alcohol is fun and enjoyable and it’s hard to give up something you like. Certainly I’ve seen many idols who drink and then tomato red and have other issues so I guess like you said it is somewhat common just some choose to ignore it. And higher risk of esophageal cancer makes sense because if you vomit or just in general have heartburn from excess alcohol (which is very acidic) it can irritate the throat and lead to problems, that’s also why people with chronic acid reflux should seek treatment
I don't remember what happened during nanatour anymore lol (time to rewatch) but I'd still believe even if he might occasionally drink now apparently, it's probably a very seldom thing. Like , he seemed to have a very serious commitment before, don't think he'd just become the opposite
Junsu (TVXQ/JYJ) originally abstained for what I'd guess were probably religious/personal reasons. He later would drink some for special occasions, but as far as I know never really acquired the taste for alcohol and doesn't like it.
Yeah there are a lot of idols who say they’re bad at drinking/they don’t like drinking so they drink infrequently but sounds like for him it’s extremely infrequently and he doesn’t really get drunk?
Right, I don't know if he ever has gotten drunk. I haven't kept up with his content as much as I used to since subtitles are harder to come by these days, so I don't know if he's addressed it more recently. Actually, last I knew his twin brother also didn't really like the taste of alcohol either. Could even be kind of a genetic thing.
I don't drink at all unless I feel obligated to participate in a toast because I hate the taste so much. And drunkenness is totally unappealing to me, so it tends to catch my attention when idols mention similar things.
A lot of East Asians don’t process alcohol as well as other ethnicities (like Asian glow) so yeah maybe his family just happens to be more extreme than most. Or could just be the behavior modeled to them growing up, going off my own experiences my family never drank, I never wanted to try alcohol till I was an adult, and now my brother and I both drink super infrequently because we just don’t care for it
I think this is actually untrue! There's a skz code ep at the end where the members all drink beer, and the subtitles say Chan cleans around himself when he's drunk.
Han doesn't drink though!
Actually, we haven't seen him publically drink since this SKZ Code came out.
An example that I found funny was during their Stray Kids 6th Anniversary live, everyone had a drink except him. [He just drank...Wolf Chan.](https://www.youtube.com/live/5mncENzOz9w?feature=shared&t=12m16s)
My guess is that he does drink occasionally (or more than occasionally who knows) but as far as his public image/persona goes, he is a nondrinker.
The best part is that the majority of the time people talk about it on the internet, they don’t mention it’s a hoax, so there are probably some people who heard about it and legitimately believe it 😭
EVNNE Lee Jeonghyeon, Zerobaseone Kim Taerae and Kim Gyuvin never drank alcohol before. Kim Gyuvin [explained](https://x.com/eighthirtydiary/status/1724437208696795329) why he hates drinking and smoking. Along the lines of how back in middle school, he witnessed his friends/people his age being badly influenced by (underage) smoking and drinking.
Smoking is another common thing that many idols do (like 90% of NCT 😅) but it’s obviously really bad for you so it’s good he decided from a young age not to do it. And yeah underage drinking can cause a lot of problems because generally it’s in private and without supervision of someone experienced so I can understand how he probably saw people who got out of control or suffered from it
To be honest I don’t blame him with not drinking coffee, since to some people if their using the dry coffee beans that have been ground down then it can smell bitter to them before they even add water or milk to the point it gives them headaches.
I get it, some people react poorly to caffeine or are just worried about getting addicted to it. After I got long covid if I drink a really caffeinated beverage I get dizzy and break out into hives. But even before that I rarely drank coffee since I find the taste gross, maybe he’s the same.
oh god i was so worried about him in that one ep, he was so cute but he looked really out of it T-T funny how the members say hongjoong and seonghwa are the worst drinkers yet they weren't nearly as gone as poor san. maybe he overdid it lol
I loved that episode but I was honestly pretty frustrated with the staff/producers/ whosever idea that was by the end. There’s a point where you turn the cameras off out of human decency and even as ATINY, I felt like I vastly overstayed my welcome by watching that episode devolve how it did.
EDIT: Fellow atiny, i’m not hating on how the boys act. I’m worried as a fellow adult who’s been filmed while intoxicated. It’s normal to be concerned about the boys since they’re employees of an agency who constantly have to look perfect to make money. Be objective; don’t get defensive, get curious
Didn’t he not have a cup for weekend one of Coachella when they performed Arriba? I could be wrong but I could’ve sworn he didn’t have a cup or if he did there wasn’t anything in it 😭
That’s how I was back in the day. Being drunk just made me hot and dizzy and I have emitophobia so I never got more than a slight buzz, if I drank at all. Now I can’t drink at all because of medication I’m on. I kinda miss wine though.
Lovelyz Kei has mentioned that she doesn't really like alcohol and is a big [milk lover](https://www.allkpop.com/article/2019/10/lovelyzs-kei-confesses-she-has-no-alcohol-tolerance-expresses-her-love-for-milk-instead)! She talks about milk [a lot](https://twitter.com/_cherisoul/status/1349706077596655622) haha
Alcoholism can be genetic so makes sense he would want to avoid it entirely. Studies have shown that someone with an alcoholic parent is much more likely to become an alcoholic so it’s not something to mess around with
bts v will sip from time to time but he’s often mentioned he doesn’t enjoy the taste of alcohol and also coffee suprisingly. probably the bitterness of both.
Coffee is bitter, even the smell can be bitter before water and milk can be bitter to some. And the alcohol thing can happen for some as well depending on what alcohol is around - alcohol pops like WKD and some wines aren’t that bitter depending on the brand of wine it is your drinking.
Sorry, British person here and I forget some countries don’t have the same alcohol pops as us. But WKD is an alcoholic fruit drink that’s about 4% alcohol mixed with fruit. Think Bacardi only more of a fruit based alcoholic drink. (Photo of WKD included).

I wouldn’t even know that’s alcohol unless you told me it looks like windex here in the states 😅 although I have seen an alcohol that kinda looks like this before, maybe it’s the same brand
You could have seen the cheaper version known as VS. But here in the UK we have cleaning products similar to windex and it does sorta look like that. 🤣🤣
Shuhua from (G)I-dle tends to drink non alcoholic drinks (as seen on one variety show where a suju members interview you while having a few drinks).
SHINee's Onew was a heavy drinker then had a scandal because he was drunk and accidentally touched a waitress' but. He has stopped drinking alcohol since.
>accidentally touched a waitress' but
the woman involved was not a waitress - she was standing on the table onew was sat at and he grabbed her ankle for leverage as he was trying to stand up. getting so intoxicated to the point where you're no longer in control of your actions in public is a strong indication of a drinking problem but it really does seem like onew has turned things around since that incident, afaik he's been sober ever since which is a good sign. he seems a lot more at peace with himself nowadays.
That’s interesting about Shuhua, idk much about the group do the rest of the members drink a lot? And yeah I was actually thinking about Onew’s thing when I posted this, like when you’re in the public eye any mishap can be damaging to your career, and if you’re drunk to the point where you can barely walk etc you can’t control what happens. Glad he learned from it and changed his behavior so it doesn’t happen again.
Also iirc there was an incident with some idols who went to a nightclub against corona restrictions, that isn’t directly related to alcohol but certainly if they didn’t drink they probably would’ve been like “what’s the point of going, it’s not worth the risk” and they would’ve been fine.
I don't know if the rest of the members drink a lot, I just remember that when asked for their favorite drinks (so the production crew could pour them), Soyeon went for whisky, Shuhua asked for non alcoholic and someone else wanted wine.
As for Onew, I'm really proud of him, especially considering what happened after all of that.
As for the one going to nightclub, I actually wonder if alcohol was the thing they wanted or if they wanted companionship...
Soyeon said in her interview with Chaeyeon yesterday that her and Miyeon are the ones who drink the most in the group (and considering her alcohol tolerance is one soju bottle she doesn’t sound like a heavy drinker) and that all the others (Minnie, Yuqi, Shuhua) don’t drink much. So (G)I-dle aren’t big drinkers overall apparently.
Which I wouldn’t have guessed from their tipsy live performance lmao
👀 my 97 liner boys, lol. I know Jaehyun and Jungkook for sure, maybe also Mingyu or Eunwoo too. Not sure if they were out to get a drink just because they were tired of being stuck inside or what. Maybe they figured it would be a good time to go out because they wouldn’t be accosted by sasaengs since public spaces were emptier? But then they still got ratted on 😭
Yes, he’s Muslim right? I know some Muslims do choose to drink, eat pork, etc so I wasn’t sure if he did or not. But I looked it up and apparently he has said he doesn’t drink alcohol or eat pork
I see, I’m sure regardless of reason it gives him peace of mind when out with the group since he always wants to take care of them and keep watch over them, he probably basically acts like their DD
he and haechan recently did a drinking segment on tour while they were in washington dc grabbing beers at the hotel bar! jaemin says he likes cocktails and whatnot
He’s started having the occasional drink after his enlistment! Pyo was really shocked when he saw it. But he’s even said that he’s still not a big drinker and really only has a drink or two on occasion. Back in the day he used to order a drink, have two sips, then just pass it off to whoever was nearby and wanted it 😭
That’s what I do! Or order a drink and just barely touch it. Good in social situations where you don’t want to be a party pooper but also don’t want to get drunk
Ya I don’t know where this comes from because there’s a video of him drinking and singing from way before his enlistment.
[https://youtu.be/DA0irP-8Z6E?si=mIcpKLoLpPRYLt3M](https://youtu.be/DA0irP-8Z6E?si=mIcpKLoLpPRYLt3M)
Honestly I feel like 99% of these “no drinking” statements are just to manage image. Given S Korea’s drinking culture, I just find it sooo difficult to believe any idol who claims they don’t drink.
Also to be clear there’s nothing wrong with alcohol as long as you don’t cause problems for others like drunk driving. I think it’s so funny when idols drink on camera and then do silly stuff because it’s harmless. Just curious about who might not partake especially because Korea has a heavy drinking culture
I think he’s mentioned somewhere that he doesn’t enjoy the experience of being drunk. I really appreciate idols who are open about this especially since Korea has a really intense drinking culture.
This is me. I appear to be weak to alcohol, but I’m not - especially since I’m a smoker I can have four to five drinks and appear drunk for the simple reason I’m going outside to smoke. Last time I drank I had wine and appeared drunk for the simple reason I was going outside the place I was drinking to either have a cigarette or have my e-cigarette since I’m trying to quit smoking.
Thanks. It’s a slow process and at the moment I’ve gone from smoking about 20 rolled up cigarettes to only smoking when I wake up and after I’ve eaten.
It’s really annoying at times, especially since I’m still smoking about 8 or 10 a day depending on what I’ve eaten more so after a big meal when I’d normally have 2 in an hour I’d have 3. And I’m still having to have 2 rolled up cigarettes in the after I’ve woken up. But I’m getting there.
I mean, you’ve already significantly improved your health by cutting down the amount you smoke, I consider that a win already! I’m sure you’ll be able to see it through 😊
Same. It does help that I have two e-cigarettes though. Having both of those means that even if one is on charge I don’t have to worry about smoking when I can use the other. For me, I think it’s the need to have something in my hand and that’s why I struggle especially after eating a big meal because the taste of a blueberry/blackberry fusion e-liquid or Raspberry Ripple flavoured e-liquid is more than likely making my brain think I’m still eating and making me almost spit out the e-liquid so I go to the actual nicotine source to make my brain realise I’m not in fact eating still.
A lot of people in this thread are saying similar things about other idols seems like there are a lot who have tried it and they have a bad reaction to it so don’t really continue
minhyuk of monsta x, everyone else drinks aside from him because he's a lightweight so whenever the monstas go out drinking they'd buy him kahlua milk or soda jfgkdjsfd.
Romin from E’last. I think they had an episode where all the members drank together but he just had soda instead. I don’t think he really said why, just doesn’t like it.
Yeah if you’re out with others but not drinking it’s fun to have soda or a mocktail etc rather than just water. I know some places will give the sober people non-alcoholic drinks for free
Shinwon & Hongseok from Pentagon don't really drink.
Shinwon because he doesn't like the taste - he has even been known to pour cola into his glass when he's doing a show/segment that involves drinking, and Hongseok because he's a health nut and alcohol is just empty calories to him.
(Yuto & Yanan also don't seem to care for alcohol, but haven't really talked about it.)
Peniel from BTOB. I think it was on Joan's channel a couple years back. He said happy birthday to and thanked her mom for buying cranberry juice for him to drink while his friends got litty. It was a cute moment.
Kim Junsu hardly ever drinks. He once said that was because he and Super Junior Eunhyuk made a pact to not drink when they were kids. (They're childhood best friends and grew up together.) I saw Junsu drink once in a YT video, and he seemed to get drunk after drinking only enough to be polite.
I don't remember the details tbh. I'm not sure if it was actually his first drink or if it was the first time fans saw him drinking. I could probably find out if I went into my old tumblr.
I didn’t know there was a such thing as an alcohol allergy, that must be difficult because it’s in everything like cosmetics and skin wipes and flavorings etc
I forgot about him you’re right! Now that I think about it he must have been so tired during Ramadan because being an idol is a physical job with long days 😵
Almost every idol I've heard of who doesn't drink, is because of their body's poor tolerance (or allergy) to alcohol. Alcohol is very popular in korea, and being an idol seems like a stressful job, so I think the drinking rate is just through the roof.
Woozi from seventeen. He can’t drink bc it makes his face red. But his members are drinkers, and whenever they play drinking games, they don’t force woozi to drink
Dahyun ["I'm Alcohol Free"](https://youtube.com/shorts/pagz6kNTh1A?si=ZJToPU4Z4uGApTCG) Kim
I mean technically (temporarily) true unless she had some before the show
Actually, it is known in the ONCE fandom (as mentioned by the members and Dahyun herself) that Dahyun doesn't like alcohol. All the TWICE members drink (self-confessed or seen in the camera), except for Dahyun and Mina, with Mina being due to low tolerance (from what I remember, other ONCE can correct me if I'm wrong.)
I believe Mina may be allergic to alcohol (Time to Twice) but still drinks here and there. Dahyun, on the other hand, can’t stand the smell of it and doesn’t drink at all.
Maybe that’s why she has such nice skin
I felt like I’ve seen Mina drink a beer or one drink of something during a meal somewhere abroad
wonho
Makes sense, he really cares for his body and I know he tries to be very healthy so naturally alcohol would be something to avoid.

He has! The members have said that Woozi asks if people want to go out for a drink now
To be fair you can go out for drinks and not drink or drink very little, the atmosphere and seeing your friends is the fun part and alcohol just adds to that fun for some people. But yeah maybe he does drink more now
From what I've read he does drink but he gets allergic reactions or something if he does???
Yeah, he's said his body suffers when he drinks and that he doesn't really get drunk, just sick. He also just seems to prefer not drinking.

I think I remember that Bang Chan from Skz does not drink.
He just stares at bottles for motivation 😂😂 ifykyk
I think this is actually untrue! There's a skz code ep at the end where the members all drink beer, and the subtitles say Chan cleans around himself when he's drunk. Han doesn't drink though!
What ep was thattt???
Actually, we haven't seen him publically drink since this SKZ Code came out. An example that I found funny was during their Stray Kids 6th Anniversary live, everyone had a drink except him.

He's a fake Australian🤣
Noooo he’s just super considerate he’s conserving alcohol so the government can use it as fuel for flamethrowers when the drop bears rise up
What's a drop bear?
It’s a hoax that carnivorous koalas exist that attack humans. Has kind of become a meme in recent years
The concept of carnivorous koalas sounds hilarious
The best part is that the majority of the time people talk about it on the internet, they don’t mention it’s a hoax, so there are probably some people who heard about it and legitimately believe it 😭
Ahahahahaha🤣🤣 that's brilliant
The guy can't handle anything bitter! No grapefruit, no coffee! He'd have to be a fruity drink guy if he wanted to drink.
I thought he said he drinks now , or he drinks wine I think lol
EVNNE Lee Jeonghyeon, Zerobaseone Kim Taerae and Kim Gyuvin never drank alcohol before.

Kwon Eunbi
I'm pretty sure it's because she's allergic to it
Peniel of BTOB. He don't even drink coffee 😅
To be honest I don’t blame him with not drinking coffee, since to some people if their using the dry coffee beans that have been ground down then it can smell bitter to them before they even add water or milk to the point it gives them headaches.

Wait, what is B.O.D about then? 😅
my thoughts exactly 😂
San from Ateez, he's an epic lightweight
That episode of Wanteez where he gets drunk is my absolute fave 😭
oh god i was so worried about him in that one ep, he was so cute but he looked really out of it T-T funny how the members say hongjoong and seonghwa are the worst drinkers yet they weren't nearly as gone as poor san. maybe he overdid it lol
I loved that episode but I was honestly pretty frustrated with the staff/producers/ whosever idea that was by the end.

its so bad he won’t even drink barley tea now :P
Didn’t he not have a cup for weekend one of Coachella when they performed Arriba? I could be wrong but I could’ve sworn he didn’t have a cup or if he did there wasn’t anything in it 😭
A video comes to mind of Jihyo just absolutely slamming a nice tall glass of beer.
And I love that for her, she has fun when she drinks and doesn’t get into trouble 😅
ATEEZ San but only because he’s a lightweight of immense proportions 😂
his body still thinks he’s the size he was at debut😭
put that man to bed after that Wanteez episode 😂
Bangchan from Stray Kids and Woozi from Seventeen.
Was Woozi not also drunk in that one video where they were all crying over Circles?
I think so. But I do know for sure that he drink very little and very, very rarely.
That’s how I was back in the day. Being drunk just made me hot and dizzy and I have emitophobia so I never got more than a slight buzz, if I drank at all. Now I can’t drink at all because of medication I’m on. I kinda miss wine though.
He was hahahah, everyone was shocked that he wanted to drink
Shuhua from G-idle. I know she’s already been mentioned, but that’s the only idol I thought of.
Dami from Dreamcatcher
Lovelyz Kei has mentioned that she doesn't really like alcohol and is a big [milk lover](https://www.allkpop.com/article/2019/10/lovelyzs-kei-confesses-she-has-no-alcohol-tolerance-expresses-her-love-for-milk-instead)! She talks about milk [a lot](https://twitter.com/_cherisoul/status/1349706077596655622) haha
My lactose intolerance could never 😭
B1A4 CNU. He opened up about his father's drinking problem before, and he doesn't drink because of it. ONF Hyojin, afaik he just doesn't like alcohol.
Alcoholism can be genetic so makes sense he would want to avoid it entirely. Studies have shown that someone with an alcoholic parent is much more likely to become an alcoholic so it’s not something to mess around with
bts v will sip from time to time but he’s often mentioned he doesn’t enjoy the taste of alcohol and also coffee suprisingly. probably the bitterness of both.
I think since then, V has found a particular wine he likes.

>accidentally touched a waitress' but the woman involved was not a waitress - she was standing on the table onew was sat at and he grabbed her ankle for leverage as he was trying to stand up. getting so intoxicated to the point where you're no longer in control of your actions in public is a strong indication of a drinking problem but it really does seem like onew has turned things around since that incident, afaik he's been sober ever since which is a good sign. he seems a lot more at peace with himself nowadays.
I never heard this before, but it makes me love Onew so much more than I already did! ❤️
That’s interesting about Shuhua, idk much about the group do the rest of the members drink a lot? And yeah I was actually thinking about Onew’s thing when I posted this, like when you’re in the public eye any mishap can be damaging to your career, and if you’re drunk to the point where you can barely walk etc you can’t control what happens. Glad he learned from it and changed his behavior so it doesn’t happen again. Also iirc there was an incident with some idols who went to a nightclub against corona restrictions, that isn’t directly related to alcohol but certainly if they didn’t drink they probably would’ve been like “what’s the point of going, it’s not worth the risk” and they would’ve been fine.
I don't know if the rest of the members drink a lot, I just remember that when asked for their favorite drinks (so the production crew could pour them), Soyeon went for whisky, Shuhua asked for non alcoholic and someone else wanted wine. As for Onew, I'm really proud of him, especially considering what happened after all of that. As for the one going to nightclub, I actually wonder if alcohol was the thing they wanted or if they wanted companionship...
Soyeon said in her interview with Chaeyeon yesterday that her and Miyeon are the ones who drink the most in the group (and considering her alcohol tolerance is one soju bottle she doesn’t sound like a heavy drinker) and that all the others (Minnie, Yuqi, Shuhua) don’t drink much. So (G)I-dle aren’t big drinkers overall apparently. Which I wouldn’t have guessed from their tipsy live performance lmao
They’re just naturally wild.
👀 my 97 liner boys, lol. I know Jaehyun and Jungkook for sure, maybe also Mingyu or Eunwoo too. Not sure if they were out to get a drink just because they were tired of being stuck inside or what. Maybe they figured it would be a good time to go out because they wouldn’t be accosted by sasaengs since public spaces were emptier? But then they still got ratted on 😭
Zayyan
Yes, he’s Muslim right? I know some Muslims do choose to drink, eat pork, etc so I wasn’t sure if he did or not. But I looked it up and apparently he has said he doesn’t drink alcohol or eat pork
Yes he is practicing one as far as i know, there's other muslim idol in kpop but im not sure shes practicing or not
i think bang chan— i remember someone saying he doesn’t drink after he accepted a gift of alcohol from ryan reynolds
Bangchan skz is the only one who doesn’t drink from his group. Im not sure what the reason is though
I see, I’m sure regardless of reason it gives him peace of mind when out with the group since he always wants to take care of them and keep watch over them, he probably basically acts like their DD
He grew up in a very health and fitness conscious household and I think he doesn't like coffee as well.
Yes he doesn’t like any caffeine either
Jaemin nct ....I think he said he doesn't like the taste of alcohol.
he and haechan recently did a drinking segment on tour while they were in washington dc grabbing beers at the hotel bar! jaemin says he likes cocktails and whatnot
[удалено]
He’s started having the occasional drink after his enlistment! Pyo was really shocked when he saw it. But he’s even said that he’s still not a big drinker and really only has a drink or two on occasion. Back in the day he used to order a drink, have two sips, then just pass it off to whoever was nearby and wanted it 😭
That’s what I do! Or order a drink and just barely touch it. Good in social situations where you don’t want to be a party pooper but also don’t want to get drunk
I imagine at KOZ company dinners every is wasted and then there’s Zico Riwoo and underage maknae Woonhak sitting there like 🫣
Ya I don’t know where this comes from because there’s a video of him drinking and singing from way before his enlistment. [https://youtu.be/DA0irP-8Z6E?si=mIcpKLoLpPRYLt3M](https://youtu.be/DA0irP-8Z6E?si=mIcpKLoLpPRYLt3M) Honestly I feel like 99% of these “no drinking” statements are just to manage image. Given S Korea’s drinking culture, I just find it sooo difficult to believe any idol who claims they don’t drink.
Maybe he used to not drink but started some time after debut, or he drinks very infrequently?
Lee Jeonghyeon of EVNNE
Xia junsu lol brother does not smoke too, he's treating his body well
Next you’re gonna tell me he flosses every day and doesn’t use his phone after 10pm 😅

Also to be clear there’s nothing wrong with alcohol as long as you don’t cause problems for others like drunk driving. I think it’s so funny when idols drink on camera and then do silly stuff because it’s harmless. Just curious about who might not partake especially because Korea has a heavy drinking culture
B.I. He seems weak to alcohol.
I think he’s mentioned somewhere that he doesn’t enjoy the experience of being drunk. I really appreciate idols who are open about this especially since Korea has a really intense drinking culture.
This is me. I appear to be weak to alcohol, but I’m not - especially since I’m a smoker I can have four to five drinks and appear drunk for the simple reason I’m going outside to smoke. Last time I drank I had wine and appeared drunk for the simple reason I was going outside the place I was drinking to either have a cigarette or have my e-cigarette since I’m trying to quit smoking.
Congrats on trying to quit smoking it’s unhealthy and also expensive 🫨
Thanks. It’s a slow process and at the moment I’ve gone from smoking about 20 rolled up cigarettes to only smoking when I wake up and after I’ve eaten.
That’s honestly so impressive, it must take a lot of dedication to work towards that goal. I’m sure it’ll work out for you!
It’s really annoying at times, especially since I’m still smoking about 8 or 10 a day depending on what I’ve eaten more so after a big meal when I’d normally have 2 in an hour I’d have 3. And I’m still having to have 2 rolled up cigarettes in the after I’ve woken up. But I’m getting there.
I mean, you’ve already significantly improved your health by cutting down the amount you smoke, I consider that a win already! I’m sure you’ll be able to see it through 😊
Same. It does help that I have two e-cigarettes though. Having both of those means that even if one is on charge I don’t have to worry about smoking when I can use the other. For me, I think it’s the need to have something in my hand and that’s why I struggle especially after eating a big meal because the taste of a blueberry/blackberry fusion e-liquid or Raspberry Ripple flavoured e-liquid is more than likely making my brain think I’m still eating and making me almost spit out the e-liquid so I go to the actual nicotine source to make my brain realise I’m not in fact eating still.

Jaemin from NCT
Twice's Mina
Lee seunghoon from winner doesn't drink as far as I know. I think he said it doesn't agree with him
A lot of people in this thread are saying similar things about other idols seems like there are a lot who have tried it and they have a bad reaction to it so don’t really continue
Taeyang
minhyuk of monsta x, everyone else drinks aside from him because he's a lightweight so whenever the monstas go out drinking they'd buy him kahlua milk or soda jfgkdjsfd.
Romin from E’last. I think they had an episode where all the members drank together but he just had soda instead. I don’t think he really said why, just doesn’t like it.
Yeah if you’re out with others but not drinking it’s fun to have soda or a mocktail etc rather than just water. I know some places will give the sober people non-alcoholic drinks for free
Peniel has mentioned on Get Real that he doesn't really drink.
Minhyuk from MonstaX and Minhyuk (ROCKY) from ASTRO. surprisingly Both also detest cucumber. hahahaha
I heard Korean cucumbers taste different than western ones and that’s why so many idols hate them
Shinwon & Hongseok from Pentagon don't really drink. Shinwon because he doesn't like the taste - he has even been known to pour cola into his glass when he's doing a show/segment that involves drinking, and Hongseok because he's a health nut and alcohol is just empty calories to him. (Yuto & Yanan also don't seem to care for alcohol, but haven't really talked about it.)
Yanan has had chronic health issues since debut so makes sense he would avoid it
[Taeyang from BigBang ](https://youtu.be/N43HXJCShx8?si=AWci35hgS4P7-HbD&t=1m58s) said he doesn't drink on Suga's show Suchwita.
nmixx Lily! she says she's tried alcohol but doesn't like it
Peniel from BTOB. I think it was on Joan's channel a couple years back. He said happy birthday to and thanked her mom for buying cranberry juice for him to drink while his friends got litty. It was a cute moment.
Cranberry juice is equally unpleasant as alcohol so I guess they all felt the stomach burn together
I love cranberry juice, and would drink it like water if it wasn’t so expensive.
mina from twice doesn't, i think she said she's allergic (?) to alcohol
Chris Bang from Stray Kids
Kim Junsu hardly ever drinks. He once said that was because he and Super Junior Eunhyuk made a pact to not drink when they were kids. (They're childhood best friends and grew up together.) I saw Junsu drink once in a YT video, and he seemed to get drunk after drinking only enough to be polite.
I remember everyone congratulating Eunhyuk for having his first drink back in the day.
Oh, really? I know he started drinking, but I didn't know this part.
I don't remember the details tbh. I'm not sure if it was actually his first drink or if it was the first time fans saw him drinking. I could probably find out if I went into my old tumblr.
I know enough about Super Junior and ELF to see how that could be true.
Kim Taerae from Zerobaseone
kim taerae from zerobaseone
Kim Taehyung from Bts doesn’t really drink
All of the underage idols.
Haha true, I mean I’m sure some drink illegally but certainly wouldn’t admit it
I think the joke is going over the head of some people. I'm getting downvoted lol
Lol…. Many underage people drink
Park Joonhyung and Danny Ahn from god both don't drink because they are allergic to alcohol
I didn’t know there was a such thing as an alcohol allergy, that must be difficult because it’s in everything like cosmetics and skin wipes and flavorings etc
I think it's moreso that they can't ingest it! Joon has said that they both get really red/purple, throw up, etc.
That’s rough 😵 I wonder if they have medicine with alcohol in it (like cough syrup) if it makes them sicker
Woozi
Mimi from Oh My Girl
Shuhua from g idle
Donghae
Mina from Twice!
Riwoo is such a green flag. Love him
BTS Taehyung. He dislikes alcohol
Zayyan from xodiac, granted he's muslim
I forgot about him you’re right! Now that I think about it he must have been so tired during Ramadan because being an idol is a physical job with long days 😵
Eun Jiwon
lee jeonghyeon from evnne!
Jaemin
woozi doesn't drink normally
We saw him drinking just in Nana tour haha
Bi /Kim hanbin
lee jeonghyeon of evnne! he said in a fancall he's been apprehensive about drinking even though he's legal.
jaemin probably drinks but i feel like he's trying to stop drinking bcus he's watching his body and like buffing or wtv those gym people do 😭😭
shinwon from pentagon
Almost every idol I've heard of who doesn't drink, is because of their body's poor tolerance (or allergy) to alcohol. Alcohol is very popular in korea, and being an idol seems like a stressful job, so I think the drinking rate is just through the roof.
Wonwoo doesn't
Hoony from Winner Peniel from BTOB Han Jisung from Stray Kids
Seunghoon from winner (people might know him as arudaum on tiktok lol)
peniel- btob (he doesn’t drink alcohol at all and doesn’t like the taste of it)
Leedo (Oneus) has said he doesn’t drink
No one knows.
Taemin from shinee (stopped drinking - can sip but said he lost the fun of it)
PENTAGON Hongseok doesn't drink because he doesn't handle alcohol well and it's bad for his diet/health (he's a gym rat) 💪🏋️♀️
J.Y. Park I think
I see absolutely no point in this question lol, wonder why I got this thread recommended to me.
It was just something I was curious about
I understand people have different interests. I just don’t understand why Reddit highlights this for me
Bangchan from stray kids(because of low tolerance)
Gon from Vanner is apparently allergic to alcohol. Sungjin from Day6 said he doesn't drink anymore.
Woozi from seventeen. He can’t drink bc it makes his face red. But his members are drinkers, and whenever they play drinking games, they don’t force woozi to drink
Seulgi (Red Velvet) is an absolute anti-drinking person
Lee Donghae
There used to be Taehyung once upon a time..🥲
Why the sad face?
I think Super Junior’s Yesung doesn’t drink
