The Boyz New and Sunwoo are in trouble and fans aren’t happy about their comments…
Past misogynistic comments by The Boyz New and Sunwoo spread online and caused huge backlash, the idols answered questions that were “what kind of pet you wish to own?” and “what kind of pet you wish to have if you live overseas?” the boys answered, “woman” and “foreign woman.”
Fans were furious because of their answers; the answers are both offensive and inappropriate. Fans started claiming that they had been disrespectful to fans before and disrespectful to their members at a recent V Live.
The fans ended up demanding Cre.ker Entertainment (The Boyz’s agency) to kick out the members, the agency responded to the issue and issued an apology, they said,
“Hello, this is Cre.ker Entertainment.
We would like to thank the fans first and foremost who always treasure The Boyz.
With a heavy mind we are aware of the issues that have been on your minds lately. We are currently having discussions with the members regarding the incident. We plan on looking into the issue in details through the discussions and fill the lacking aspects.
We would like to sincerely apologize for not being able to notice the issue ahead of time. Please refrain from making criticism and don’t spread exaggerated rumors that are away from the truth.
We will try to prevent such incident from occurring again. Thank you!”
The Boyz is a rookie boy group with 12 members that debuted back in 2017 under Cre.ker Entertainment. They received recognition and were awarded rookies of the year at two awards shows.
International fans are split on this one, some think it would be better for the two to be kicked out while some others are asking everybody to wait before making assumptions.
New is born in 1998 and is 20 years old while Sunwoo (born in 2000) is 18 years old.
The incident reminded fans of Jay Park who was also taken out of his group after people found comments that were reportedly mean towards Korea online, Jay Park left 2PM and never went back.
