SEVENTEEN members S.Coups and Mingyu are facing backlash over their upcoming appearance on the YouTube channel CHOIZA ROAD, hosted by Dynamic Duo. This comes on the heels of the group’s latest comeback with their track “Thunder” and the album HAPPY BURSTDAY.
While promoting the new music, fans expressed outrage at the decision for S.Coups and Mingyu to join the show. A significant portion of the discontent seems rooted in past controversies surrounding Choiza, particularly his relationship with the late Sulli, which has raised serious concerns about his past behavior.
Social media has lit up with calls for boycotting the show, urging fans not to promote any content associated with Choiza. Tweets labeled the atmosphere surrounding the collaboration as troubling, particularly when framed within the context of Choiza’s past actions.
BOYCOTT THE CHOIZA SHOW.

Comments from fans illustrate their distress, particularly those who ally with Sulli’s legacy. Many expressed their emotional struggles with seeing SEVENTEEN engage with someone whose history includes troubling behaviors towards women.
We do not support the horrible doings that Choiza did to Sulli. As women, it hurts to see that our fave artists are making content with someone who did awful things to a woman.
