While talking about the incident on Naver NOW, J said,
"I recently went to the convenience store to buy rice. When I finished shopping and went to the cashier, the owner wasn't there."
As it turned out, the clerk managing the convenience store didn't know J was in the store and locked the place up to go to the bathroom.

Eventually, the J was locked inside the convenience store for about fifteen minutes until the clerk finally returned and rescued STAYC's vocalist and rapper.
The pictures of J locked inside the convenience store was later posted by the group's manager on their official fan cafe.
