On the 10th of this month, Sunwoo posted a comment on a fan communication platform saying, “Ignore the rumors and let's play Rammy Cube (a board game) instead.” Mokkum, an abbreviation of “Mogi Kunji” (no bait), is a newly coined term used to mean “do not mention or respond to a specific topic.”
This came shortly after rumors of a romantic relationship between fellow group member Juyoung and actress Shin Si-a surfaced, leading some to interpret the comment as a reference to that situation.
THE BOYZ fans reacted coldly. Amidst the buzz over the romance rumors, criticism continued that his comments were thoughtless. Earlier, Sunwoo had caused controversy by shouting at security staff, “My AirPods,” and having them pick them up for him, so fans' reactions could only grow colder.
Ultimately, Sunwoo apologized. On the 11th, he stated, “Without knowing the details of the situation, I made a very careless remark without reading the room,” and apologized, saying, “I sincerely apologize to all THE B (Dobi/fans).”
In the process, some angry fans have raised various allegations against the members, escalating the controversy. They have posted photos on social media claiming to show a specific member smoking on the street, and have made claims about the member's past relationships, among other things, causing the issue to escalate further.
THE BOYZ's agency, One Hundred, has taken a firm stance. The agency stated, “We have confirmed that false information unrelated to the facts about THE BOYZ has been carelessly spread through certain online communities and social media platforms recently.” They added, “We plan to hold accountable not only those who create and disseminate false information but also those who amplify, reproduce, or collude in such actions.” In this process, there will be no leniency or compromise, and we clearly state that all identified perpetrators will be held accountable to the fullest extent." The agency has warned of a ruthless legal response.
