The Noona Chronicles

 On August 29, YouTube vlogger Lee Jin Ho posted a video titled "I asked a hacker Why the V-Jennie Leak Started" and the white hacker gave his opinion about the photos that circulated of the two idols. The expert said that the photos were not edited. After investigating, I don't see any trace of editing or manipulation in the leaked photos.

As to why the photos are released one by one,  Releasing the photos one by one is also to attract the victim's attention, saying, 'I have sensitive information (on you).'

Meanwhile, netizens have given their thoughts about the drama's ratings as well. It’s really boring. The acting… Is not that really good. The story is interesting, but the actors don’t stand out. It’s fun, but the main male character is such a bad actor… I have no idea what he wants to say.  I need subtitles. It’s boring, the characters aren’t very interesting, and neither is the acting.
