SM later made a statement that the man in the spoon was really Chang Min, but it was just an ordinary work dinner. At that time, there were Jae won Sim and other staff members, and they were not in love.
However, some fans later pointed out that Jae won Sim and her girlhood had activities in Neon that day, and Chang Min also had activities at 4 or 5 pm that day. Although I am not sure that the photo was taken that day, and I am not sure that it must be dinner, I still have doubts about SM's statement first.
After a while, it was pointed out that the reason why SM handled this oolong incident in a high-profile way was to cover up another thing. On February 23rd, when SJ-M gave a concert in TW, some members waved to TW Guo Qi, and some even kissed TW Guo Qi. SM is afraid of having a bad influence on it (especially in mainland China, such as Taiwan Province Du's allergic problems, which are resented by mainlanders), so it uses the Changmin incident to divert everyone's attention.
Personally, I prefer this statement. Because the scandal spread by the spoon is really too oolong and quite elusive. Generally, this kind of thing is spread among fans, and this time it actually made news from the beginning. Moreover, a lot of news has been published on Korean websites, revealing some old information, such as photos of two people using the same mobile phone chain and the same suitcase, as evidence of a suspected scandal. Come on, this kind of thing has been discussed countless times among fans. Why did it become news this time? And the news clarified by SM tends to get darker and darker. Obviously, the head on the spoon can't tell who it is. Why not just deny that it's not Changmin? I have to admit that there is a fear of chaos in the world. Therefore, I suspect that from the very beginning (after Victoria Song sent the picture of the spoon for the first time, the picture she sent should not be required by SM, and SM just pushed the boat forward), SM started public relations, started to send notices to various media and then publicized the matter in a high-profile way, so as to divert everyone's attention and reduce the negative impact on SJ-M.
