In 2018, Aurora appeared on "Hello Counselor," a widely watched Korean variety show featuring ordinary people discussing their daily struggles.
During the episode, one woman shared her challenges with severe social anxiety and forming friendships.
While most of the celebrities on the show couldn't empathize and dismissed the issue, Aurora spoke up for the woman, underlining how anxiety can profoundly impact one's life.
She triggered controversy by revealing, "Early in my career, I formed a friendship with an older female singer from a different company. Regrettably, she broke my trust and even subjected me to bullying. This mistreatment was likely due to my Thai background and close friendship with a popular male group. She leaked information to the paparazzi to hinder my career, spread false rumours to my friends that I used inappropriate means to enter the industry, and even disclosed my location to obsessive fans, including my family's addresses. This ordeal led to my diagnosis of a severe anxiety disorder and caused me to build walls when making friends, especially those of the same sex. This experience completely changed how I perceive those I allow into my inner circle."
Following this revelation, numerous netizens and fans attempted to uncover the identity of this older singer.
However, Aurora has never disclosed her name based on fear of her and a possible lawsuit.

When Aurora made her debut, she faced criticism due to the release of pre-debut photos that showed her smoking during high school and revealing her close pre-debut friendship with BTS.
In response, she opted to curtail her appearances on music and variety shows to focus on promoting her debut EP.
Several years later, during a Weverse live session, a fan commented on the absurdity of the earlier scandal, which resurfaced Aurora in the headlines. Unfortunately, this led to renewed criticism from Korean netizens after she mentioned, "I used to smoke cigarettes in high school, and I'm still a better singer than these younger idols."
