Middle school student Kim Ra-hee, who was spontaneously cast and drew attention at singer Psy's "Humbeok Show," directly clarified rumors calling her an "idol trainee."
On the 27th, Kim Ra-hee posted a video on her social media with the message "I am not a trainee." She drew a line, saying she is only an aspirant currently practicing at a dance academy dreaming of being an idol, and is not a trainee who has signed with an agency and is preparing to debut.
Earlier, Kim Ra-hee was captured on the big screen during Psy's "Humbeok Show" performance and instantly became the center of attention. The video spread quickly through YouTube Shorts and various social media, surpassing 12 million views and receiving explosive interest.
In the video, when Kim Ra-hee saw her image on the big screen, instead of getting flustered she naturally performed a dance and displayed exceptional talent. She drew attention by delivering an unwavering performance in front of tens of thousands of spectators.
Watching this, Psy also expressed an intention to cast her on the spot. As head of P NATION, he said during the performance, "P NATION staff, please get that student's contact information," and added, "I think we'll meet again soon," raising expectations.
Afterward, supportive messages poured in on Kim Ra-hee's social media, and she conveyed her elated feelings at the time, saying, "I was cast by Psy at the Humbeok Show. The camera director and I made eye contact and I was captured on screen again. P NATION took my contact information. I was so happy."
However, in the process the claim that Kim Ra-hee was an "idol trainee" spread online, prompting her to directly clarify, "I am not a trainee."
Born in 2012, Kim Ra-hee is known to be attending a dance academy and dreaming of being an idol. The academy also shared related articles on its official social media, and Kim Ra-hee regraphed them to her own account.
