THE BOYZ is facing fresh controversy as a fan was caught on video demanding a member leave the group during their June 14 departure from Gimpo International Airport.
This incident hits amid a storm of scandals for multiple members, including Juyeon, Hyunjae, Sangyeon, Eric, and Sunwoo, who have been “exposed” for alleged smoking, partying, and dating by fans over the past week.
One Hundred Label warned fans against spreading "unconfirmed information that damages the reputation and character of the artists," but tensions remain high.
The viral clip captures a female fan shouting, "Leave the group!" Some interpret it as targeting Juyeon, using the derogatory nickname "Fake Nose Lee Juyeon," while others think the reference was to Hyunjae (real name Lee Jaehyun).
Fans quickly slammed the behavior online, calling it “unhinged” and “over the top” regardless of the ongoing scandals.
Fan reactions:
“What are they even getting out of this? Do they think Juyeon is going to quit the group or never date again? They’re just making themselves a laughingstock.”
“If you’re that upset, just leave the fandom. Why act like adults dating is some kind of catastrophe?”
“If idols had to quit over every scandal, that entire group would have to disband.”
“That’s just too much… Making a scene like that over someone who’s been in the industry for 9 years… Like, seriously?”
In response, Juyeon posted a heartfelt message to fans on a communication app, apologizing for the situation and promising to be more thoughtful going forward.
Juyeon’s message:
"I’m really sorry for making you upset because of this situation. Even though there are many things that aren’t true, I deeply feel that the responsibility for this situation ultimately lies with me. I promise not to repeat the same mistake again."
The situation remains tense as fans continue debating the ongoing controversies surrounding THE BOYZ members.
