THE BOYZ are under fire for multiple scandals as recent rumors and allegations have surfaced.
Member Juyeon triggered backlash following dating rumors. This snowballed into more accusations against the group. Several members—Hyunjae, Sunwoo, Eric, and Sangyeon—have been implicated for alleged smoking and drinking with younger women.
Sunwoo addressed the controversy on June 11 via fan site Fromm, initially telling fans to ignore the rumors and sharing a game code. He later apologized formally.
“The Bs, I spoke too lightly and played games without being aware of the situation, even though I didn’t fully understand what The Bs were going through… Whatever the reason, I think The Bs must be even more upset. I’m sorry, truly sorry…”
— Sunwoo
The backlash intensified with netizens recalling Sunwoo’s earlier attitude scandal involving former Afterschool’s Nana. Nana called out his rude behavior toward a security guard over AirPods, sparking further heat.
“Looks like someone needs to be scolded.”
— Online reaction“At this point, I’m reminded of Queen Nana. As expected…”
— Online reaction“Wait, looking back, Nana-nim actually took the hit and gave advice to Sunwoo — who seemed like he’d been shot in the head — to come to his senses, all for the sake of the pure The Bs who would love THE BOYZ no matter what. So why did she get hate for that?”
— Online reaction
THE BOYZ’s agency has only denied Juyeon’s dating rumors with a rising actress, declining to comment on other allegations.
The situation continues to develop as fans and the K-pop community monitor reactions closely.
