MOMOLAND member Nancy (낸시) found herself in an embarrassing situation after a lewd clip and screenshot photos of her made its way online.
Earlier this week, it was reported that illegally filmed photos and videos, along with doctored images of the Korean-American idol undressing had leaked online. Apparently, this happened after a staff of the “2019 Asia Artist Awards” held in Vietnam secretly recorded Nancy, who was the MC at that time.
