Since the first broadcast of [JustDol Season 4], a ton of clips have popped up all over various communities.
[JUSTDOL Season 4 | Star ☆ Girl Group Seven Meets Junior Contestants Episode 1 Clip | SAVEN Clips]
First, let’s check out the official channel’s video.
[Seven Do-hee, Male Friend #SHORTS #DoheeLee]
[A contestant from JustDol4 claiming they are childhood friends with Do-hee]
[The ridiculous dating rumors between Do-hee and trainee Baek-hwi from ZY Entertainment]
These clips have been conveniently edited by YouTubers.

And let’s not forget about a few malicious trolls, too.
Of course, the general public tended to brush it off as just being friends.
After all, Do-hee is only 16 years old, still just a middle schooler.
However, there were definitely some folks who were all too happy about the situation.
Of course, they included toxic fandoms from other girl groups and haters who were envious of Do-hee.
These individuals didn’t go for blatant accusations; instead, they started off seemingly supporting the dating rumors.
– Wow… they really suit each other, like a real-life couple!
– Whether they’re dating or not, celebrities are people too, and they deserve their privacy…
– Regardless of whether it’s true or not, they could be dating, and I just hope they’re happy while they are!
– No, they’re just friends. If they were dating, wouldn’t they mention it on a show…? C’mon, think logically…
└ Just understand, I can’t shake off these pseudo-romantic feelings, lol…
Their strategy was to initially react positively to the dating rumors, essentially fanning the flames.
As these comments piled up, even the tiniest sparks of positive opinions from the general public began to rise.
– Do-hee may not be into him, but there’s no way that guy wouldn’t like someone with that body and face, especially since they’re childhood friends!
– But when they’re together, feelings could totally happen…
– Why am I the only one without a childhood friend like Do-hee? I’m seriously so jealous!
– Childhood friend romance is definitely valid!
Once they felt enough sparks were kindled, they gradually added fuel to the fire.
– Isn’t it more surprising to think that someone like her would be single? It’s the perfect age to be curious about love, and what’s the problem with that?
– But honestly, Do-hee seems like she’d be charming guys, lol!
– The issue isn’t dating; it’s deceiving the fans… People can date, but if you mislead them, of course, fans will lose interest!
– Kids just behave according to how they look, lol. She kept acting like she was distancing herself from guys, but behind the scenes? Hahaha.
And just like that, the fire of rumors began to grow stronger.
[Not sure why this is coming out now, but they were originally known to be dating (with proof)]
Dating was originally famous (evidence available)]
And finally, a perfectly crafted post was uploaded to an entertainment community.

─July’s first week, Mpulse’s number one is… Seven! Congratulations!”
After a Thursday music show and fan signing event, the day’s schedule came to an end.
Late at night, while everyone was asleep.
I was cooling my head on the balcony, inhaling the dawn air.
─”Do-hee, what’s your relationship with that participant really?”
Today alone, I had been asked the same question so many times at the fan signing.
It seemed like the fans wanted me to clearly state my position.
“It’s nothing special, so what position should I state…”
Of course, I could, if I shouted that Mwave edited it maliciously.
But the reason I don’t do that is simple.
Malicious editing would damage the image of the survival program that emphasized fairness.
Which would also hurt Seven’s image.
“Moreover, our agency would also face trouble with Mwave.”
Even though it’s not even my company, I was still concerned.
“Ugh. I guess I’ll have to ask for stock options later.”
And there’s another way.
I could just say we were friends; I was merely expressing my support for Baek-hwi.
However, that wasn’t a good option either.
The previous season’s number one participant endorsing someone in a way that compromised fairness in the survival program could lead me to be unfairly criticized.
“Ha-ah… What a mess. Why do I have to suffer because of them?”
Of course, I knew.
It wasn’t an act of malice, and she’s just a thoughtless 16-year-old kid.
Still, it couldn’t help but annoy me.
After a long sigh, I knew complaining would achieve nothing, so I started to think again.
“First, I should check public opinion.”
I took out my phone and entered a heavy community particularly interested in the entertainment industry.
I was able to check a post that was trending with countless comments in real-time.
[Not sure why it’s surfacing now, but everyone knew they were dating at school (photo available)] ㅡ [381]
“Could this be about me?”
=========
First, everyone knows that Do-hee Lee and Baek-hwi are childhood friends,
but many don’t realize they come from the same middle school.
(A photo of Do-hee in a school uniform smiling at Baek-hwi)
They were inseparable during breaks, making it obvious they were dating.
Especially since Do-hee was consistently ranked first in class and Baek-hwi was second,
The school atmosphere was like, “Ah, I see, they’re the popular kids dating.”
Suddenly, I’m revealing this because…
Originally, everyone was keeping quiet out of fear of repercussions.
But now, Do-hee Lee is so obnoxious that I can’t stand it anymore.
In fact, Do-hee was famously picky about the people she interacted with.
=========
The subsequent long post detailed my usual behavior thoroughly.
It even included a description of my expressions and examples of how I ignored the writer.
If I weren’t the subject, I would have been convinced.
=========
Of course, with that face, being the top student and even a piano award winner, not to mention an idol trainee, I think it’s understandable for someone young to act that way.
But now, pretending to be easy-going and cheerful to manage her image—
Seriously, Do-hee, you really shouldn’t do that.
There are several people who’ve struggled because of you.
Best – I definitely thought she was that type. Not that she’d be beating up classmates, but more like looking down on others at school.
Best – I went to the same school as Do-hee. I was a year older, and since she was a trainee from a young age, she couldn’t outright bully, but the condescension was there. I know a junior who was very quiet, and Do-hee unknowingly ignored her, which really affected her. It was even worse in elementary school.
Best – It’s obvious that Do-hee and Baek-hwi are dating. I knew it.
Y/N – It looks like a rumor to anyone, lol. Get a life, you losers.
=========
A sigh escaped, followed by a chuckle.
Ironically, thanks to this ridiculous post, I felt like I didn’t need to make a statement.

Late at night.
Only scattered random posts are appearing on the entertainment community.
Heavy users are still arguing in the comments over the pros and cons.
Then came a provocative title that instantly captured everyone’s attention.
[Do-hee Controversy: Evidence of Manipulation Found]
(Composite photo) (Original photo)
Compare the two.
And I saved the original post as a PDF.
The post included photos of the laughing and joking Do-hee and Baek-hwi.
Additionally, there was a photo of a mosaiced girl laughing alongside the same pose as Do-hee.
Heavy users who checked the post reacted intensely.
– It’s definitely the same pose if you flip it!
– Wait, is this real?
– Where did the writer get this?
└ It was posted on Do-hee’s friend’s Instagram.
└ Huh, how did you even get that?
└ I’ve followed all the classmates who mentioned Do-hee’s school days before.
└ LOL, that’s ridiculous.
– Who can compare this directly?
– But it’s definitely the same pose if you flip it!
Then, a post containing comparison shots was uploaded to the board.
[I’ve blown up the photos for comparison analysis]
(Photo) (Photo)
They match exactly; it’s definitely a composite.
– It was really a composite, haha.
– How messed up do you have to be to create a composite to distort the truth?
– So the entire post was fabricated then?
└ That would make sense, haha. It’s a year who does composites after all.
└ Seriously, the jealousy is off the charts.
– Do-hee’s fans must be having a tough time… Sigh, when will this slaughter of girl idols by the 판녀 end?
└ Do-hee’s fans, don’t get hurt. If there’s a backlash in the comments, it just means she’s still doing well. There are tons of drama posts going up, but in reality, Do-hee is still thriving. Fighting~~
– Wait a minute, unrelated, but Do-hee’s proportions are insane, hahahaha.
– Ah, the 판독사 is here, haha.
With the rapidly increasing comments, it wasn’t long before…
This time, a post was uploaded collecting stories from her classmates about Do-hee’s brown screen debut from a year ago.
[Friends from class talking about Seven Do-hee]

During breaks, instead of dating, she’d sit in her seat studying and taking practice tests.
She usually helps and takes care of the kids, never swears, and right after school, she goes straight to the company to practice.
It’s the complete opposite of those controversial posts, haha.
– I knew it from the moment they started talking about Baek-hwi during breaks, haha.
– It was obvious it was a fabricated post. Hasn’t she been jealous once or twice?
– Would someone who started training at 11 act like that? Believe what you should believe.
– Ugh… Seriously, the mental illness is severe.
– Just because a pretty young girl is doing well, their jealousy is so intense, making up stupid controversies. Sigh.
Given that rumors of romantic relationships among popular celebrities can be a sensational subject, the captures of this post quickly began spreading to other communities.

[Current status of that 판 (Seven Do-hee)]
As this community had a history of bad practices, they were again met with reactions that questioned their integrity, and Do-hee’s controversy was firmly denied in backlash.
However, some still claimed, “Even if the photos are composites, the dating rumors could be true,” and it was hard for fans to refute this claim. After all, there was no tangible evidence regarding the dating rumors.
Amidst this situation, the third episode of Seven’s reality show [SAVEN's HAVEN in London] aired.
[Do-hee: Wow, I’m going crazy… Why is he so handsome…?]
