To avoid a hate train, her agency quickly issued a statement, dismissing the claims as unfounded. But controversies do not die down so soon, right? Now her underage drinking details are being revisited, in an attempt to support the accuser's claims of the actress' questionable life choices in the past.
Go Min Si's underage drinking incident at 17 resurfaced right when she's already under heavy scrutiny for school bullying and money extortion accusations. It made for a strong case for the Tastefully Yours' stars' being deemed a thoughtless brat.

Check out netizens' reaction to Go Min Si's underage drinking controversy
The underage drinking issue first came to light during the time when Go Min Si wasn't as well-known as she is now, hence, the matter ended with an apology from her. With its resurfacing, netizens took to online discussion portal theqoo to express their shock at the incident being "passed quietly." Many said they had no idea of the actress having such a past until now. Some even said, "That's not normal for a 17 year old."
Others thought the photos suggested she wasn't a first-time underage drinker, but rather someone who had done it habitually. They felt it wouldn't be surprising for someone to bully others, who indulged in alcoholism at 17. One of the comments also alleged that her popular drama, Youth of May, also starring Lee Do Hyun, helped her "clean up her image" following the drinking controversy.
Go Min Si is currently appearing in Netflix's culinary romance drama Tastefully Yours, which has been showing an upward rating trend. It is even the fourth-most buzzworthy drama of the week. However, with her past controversies being dug up, it may potentially negatively impact her series' popularity.
