While casually talking to fans, Mingyu revealed he had mixed tequila, whiskey, and champagne together and drank it all in one shot. He described the experience as fun, adding that he ended up sleeping until 5 PM the next day.

I really drank so much yesterday. I had my birthday drink too. It was a mix of tequila, whiskey, and champagne, and I drank it in one shot. It was fun. I think I slept until 5 PM.

Drinking is a big part of social and work life in South Korea. It’s common for friends, coworkers, and even celebrities to drink together, often in rounds of soju or beer. Among their fans, SEVENTEEN members are even known as heavy drinkers, especially Mingyu.

Still, the star’s confession sparked massive concerns about his health.
