'MZ Shaman' Noh Seulbi was left stunned when an opponent correctly guessed her health issue during a shaman survival match. She also recalled painful memories of her late father, bringing tears to the viewers' eyes.

In the episode of Disney+’s 'Battle of Fates 49' released on the 18th, a one-on-one 'Fortune Reading Battle' took place between the 5-year-of-experience shaman Noh Seulbi and 13-year-of-experience shaman Jiseon Doryeong. While speaking about Noh Seulbi's past, Jiseon Doryeong suddenly mentioned her 'left breast.' Noh Seulbi later revealed, "I actually had a tumor in my left breast. I was shocked because I never wrote down that information anywhere," sending chills through the studio.

During the reading, Noh Seulbi's painful family history was revisited. Having suffered through forced pregnancy, abuse, and gaslighting at the age of 19, Noh Seulbi shared, "My mother was gentle, but my father was very obsessive toward me." She drew sympathy when she revealed that the day of the recording was actually the anniversary of her father's death.

The tension between the two shamans was very high. When Noh Seulbi pointed out Jiseon Doryeong's nervousness by asking, "Wasn't it hard receiving a 'divine calling' at such a young age?" Jiseon Doryeong responded sharply, "Look at yourself first before pushing others. Do not look down on me." In an interview, Jiseon Doryeong added, "Noh Seulbi's words were too aggressive," increasing the tension on set.

Noh Seulbi, who previously revealed she received 'divine calling' after enduring verbal abuse from her ex-husband, including being told to report their daughter as dead, is showing fortune-telling skills that go beyond her limits in every episode. Viewers are sending support with comments like, "Noh Seulbi's life is like a movie," and "I hope she overcomes her past pain and wins."

"He refused using protection, claiming to be infertile" ... Shaman Noh Seulbi was forced to be pregnant at 19

The shocking past of 'MZ Shaman' Noh Seulbi, who is showing outstanding fortune-telling skills on Disney+ 'Battle of Fates 49,' is breaking the viewers' hearts as its being revisited.

Recently on 'Battle of Fates 49,' Noh Seulbi drew attention for her remarkable abilities, including being able to accurately guess the cause of death by only using the birth dates of the deceased with no ritual tools at all. However, behind her extraordinary spiritual power, there was a tragic pain she had to endure at the young age of 19.

According to what she previously revealed on MBN's 'Teenage Parents' and Channel S' 'Sisters Attack,' Noh Seulbi suffered from school violence and domestic abuse during her high school days. At the time, she met a man who offered her free face readings through the internet. The man, who was also a shaman, manipulated the 19-year-old Noh Seulbi by gaslighting her, saying, "If you don't marry me, your father will kill you." This led her to run away from home and start living together with him.

Even more shocking was the man's cruel behavior. He claimed to be infertile and refused using protection, which led to Noh Seulbi becoming pregnant against her will. After she gave birth, their relationship fell apart because he cheated on her and was abusive. It was even revealed that after their divorce, he called her and demanded her to report their daughter to be dead, an inhumane request that shocked both the cast and viewers.

Eventually, Noh Seulbi stood on her own while raising her daughter, Da-on. Later, she received a 'divine calling' and became a shaman. Overcoming her painful past and standing strong for the sake of her daughter, Noh Seulbi is now starting a new chapter in her life as a 'skilled shaman' participating in a shaman survival show. Additionally, in the episode set to be released on the 18th, the show teases a forbidden match where shamans read each other's fates, drawing attention to the next miracle she will show.

On the 16th, a netizen sent a message to Tzuyu through the communication app 'Bubble,' saying, "Can't you lose some of your leg fat? Your backup dancer is slimmer than you."

In response, Tzuyu wittily replied, "Thank you. Save your money." This platform is a paid service that requires a monthly subscription fee of 5,000 KRW.

Controversy grew as a screenshot of this conversation spread across online communities and social media. Criticism followed not only from TWICE's fans, but also from international K-pop fans.

In particular, international fans voiced criticism of Korean beauty standards after fancams of Tzuyu taken during the TWICE's world tour concert on the 15th circulated online. In the video, Tzuyu performed powerful choreography in a short bodysuit and fur boots. An international fan commented, "I really hate Korea's beauty standards. Skinny legs? That's ridiculous. We need more female idols like Tzuyu," criticizing Korea's strict beauty standards.

This incident has reignited debate among international K-pop fans over the extreme focus of appearance in the Korean entertainment industry. On the other hand, some K-netz disagreed, saying, "Tzuyu has been a 'visual' member since debut," and "It's unreasonable to say one person's opinion represents all of Korea's beauty standards."

Meanwhile, many netizens showed support to Tzuyu's sharp response, saying, "I can't believe someone paid money just to leave a hate comment," "Tzuyu’s response was cool," and "Tzuyu has a glamorous figure."
