The post included an alleged photo taken of Wish that night, identifying him by the glasses and necklace he was wearing.

- Bottom left text: Same necklace
The person that allegedly spotted the two idols corresponded with another individual about it, sharing that they initially thought they were just handsome influencers. The person claims that Wish said that they were trainees when asked if they were idols and MU looked guilty.
- Grey: I thought they were influencers, that’s why I asked for their Instagram accounts. Then I saw how handsome Mu was, so I asked if the two of them are idols.
- Green: Then they climbed over a wall and ran away?
- Grey: Wish said 했어 (I did/was) and that he used to be a trainee. He lied to us. Mu looked especially guilty.
- Green: Ahhhhh
When the individual seemed to recognize that they were members of EPEX and asked them such, the pair allegedly ran away by jumping over a wall. The person said that it was an impressive feat and a photo of the place they allegedly jumped over was included in the post.
I looked more closely and thought they looked like they were from Epex. But I wasn’t sure, so I just asked casually if they were Epex. Then the two of them leaped over a wall and escaped.
— Grey Text
- Green: How did he climb over a wall and run away?
- Green: Did he really climb over a wall?
- Grey: We couldn’t record it in time when he was climbing.
- Grey: But we re-traced his route.
- Grey: His skills are amazing. We don’t know how they got away. There were piles of garbage and air conditioning units.
The post as since spread to other social media sites, with fans urging C9 Entertainment, the group’s company, to protect the idols. Wish and MU are 22 and 20 respectively, and many feel that this is a non-issue because of this.
