A former member of a rising 5th generation girl group is facing serious allegations after a supposed former trainee came forward with shocking claims. Online, posts began circulating from an individual claiming to have trained alongside former izna member Yoon Jiyoon, detailing alleged incidents that occurred during their trainee days.
According to the claims, Yoon Jiyoon was accused of multiple instances of theft as a trainee, including allegedly taking luxury items such as Chrome Hearts apparel, BAPE products, and even Celine sunglasses from MEOVV‘s Gawon. The two had trained at The Black Label together. A screenshot of DMs between two alleged former trainees went viral.

“When Jiyoon unnie was at The Black Label, she stole Gawon unnie’s Chrome Hearts hoodie and you know how when [member from MEOVV] unnie entered The Black Label, Jiyoon unnie was her sunbae. But Jiyoon unnie ordered her to get her water and stuff like that. You said saw it too, right? So [member] unnie went upstairs and told the staff how hard she was having it. Jiyoon unnie kept only taking TikToks with the trainees she thought would do well, and she always secretly uploaded training stuff on her finsta. She got caught and scolded. Well, I guess that part isn’t much of an issue. But anyway, I need you to tell me more in detail about what you know. Help me out please.”
The trainees also alleged that Yoon Jiyoon displayed problematic behavior during training, including ordering other trainees around and treating them disrespectfully despite differences in seniority.

“Well, although it’s not all of them, most of the trainees all didn’t like Jiyoon unnie. That’s a fact. Even if you ask some other former trainees too and they all will say the same. And it’s a fact that she stole the Chrome Hearts, BAPE, and Celine sunglasses. All the unnies know about this. As for making [member] unnie get water and stuff, I heard this happen personally while I was working on covering a song. Her tone was also not like, ‘hey, can you go get water?’ but more like ‘hey, go get water, what are you doing?’ I also remember her laughing. This was before they got close and [member] unnie was at YG before moving to TBL. She joined late, so it’s not like they were friends or anything at that point, so I can’t say it was a joke between friends.”
One of the most serious accusations involved an alleged attempt to steal a fellow member’s new iPhone, which was reportedly given as a debut gift. The trainee claimed this incident caused a major breakdown of trust within the team.

“Let me tell you about how she also harmed izna. TBL gave the izna members iPhones as debut presents. One of the members decided to just continue using their old phone, and kept the new iPhone separately. Yoon Jiyoon tried to steal the new phone and got caught, so it became yet another incident of theft. The members lost a lot of trust in her because of this.”
The post further suggested that these accumulated issues led to Yoon Jiyoon’s removal, alleging that she was not a voluntary departure but was instead “kicked out.”
“Later on, Yoon Jiyoon cried asking WakeOne to terminate the contract, but WakeOne did not. At the end of continuous discussions, she ended up being blacklisted from both TBL and WakeOne. Anyway, she ended up getting kicked out rather than leaving, and I think many fans know about this too.”
The claims have quickly spread across online communities, sparking heated debate among netizens. However, none of the allegations have been officially confirmed.
