Former Idol Turns 10x More Notorious: Seungha Stirs Controversy in the Baba Music Group
The Baba music group debuted on February 25, 2016, captivating audiences with their fresh style and youthful energy. The group launched with the song Catch Me and originally consisted of six members: Pureum, Seoae, Buylha, Hyoah, and Dahyui. Baba has operated under the management of PR Entertainment and has seen numerous lineup changes over the years, with a total of 21 different members throughout their active period.
While they did not achieve overwhelming success, the group still left a mark with each product they released. Notably, member Seungha (real name Chae Seung-ha), born in 2000, joined Baba in December 2017 and officially debuted with the group on July 3, 2018, with the single Oh! My God!.
Seungha’s Shift to Adult Films Brings Earnings of Up to 33 Million Won
After leaving Baba at the end of 2018, Seungha decided to shift towards the adult film industry. This decision shocked many fans, especially as she had previously been known for her bright image and youthful demeanor. In a recent interview, Seungha shared that she has participated in nearly 40 adult films within a span of 4-5 months.
With each film, she reportedly earns an amount equivalent to the price of a mid-range sedan in South Korea, approximately 840 million won (according to investigations by Ilgan Sports). Thus, despite being only 23 years old, Seungha has accumulated earnings of up to 33 million won.
However, this decision has also led her to face numerous criticisms and controversies from the public, especially from those who were once fans of her innocent image in the past.
“Daring” Transition to Streaming and Controversial Content Makes Waves
After a period of working in the adult film industry, Seungha announced her retirement in April 2021 due to the toll it took on her personal life. However, instead of stepping back, she transitioned to becoming a streamer on various online platforms. In her new role, Seungha frequently appears in provocative outfits and engages in activities deemed explicit, sparking intense debates within the online community.
Not only that, but Seungha also caused a stir by posting suggestive dance videos while wearing revealing clothing. She often performed in a way that raised eyebrows, receiving mixed feedback for her daring content. Many viewers believe that her provocative material has crossed the line from being enticing to inappropriate, resulting in a backlash against her choices.
Many believe that she is leveraging her physical appearance and boldness to attract viewers, potentially harming her reputation and diminishing the value of her artistic integrity. The online community has not shied away from criticizing her for the explicit images and content she shares across various streaming platforms.
From once being an idol with a bright image, Seungha has undergone numerous transformations in her career, leading the public to express both regret and debate over the paths she has chosen.
