Kevin of the K-pop group THE BOYZ has issued an apology after facing criticism for a controversial remark made during a recent KBO League event. On April 19, Kevin and fellow member Eric participated in the opening ceremony of the Kiwoom Heroes vs. KT Wiz game at Gocheok Sky Dome in Seoul, where Eric threw the ceremonial first pitch.

However, the moment was overshadowed when a fan claimed Kevin had written a note expressing hope for the Kia Tigers (a rival team) to be celebrated in their hometown of Gwangju, a comment seen as disrespectful to the hosting team, Kiwoom Heroes.  

Baseball fans and netizens criticized the remark, pointing out that guest participants are expected to avoid endorsing rival teams at such events. 

The incident has sparked debate, particularly since Eric, a known Kiwoom Heroes fan, was celebrating his second time throwing the first pitch, this time alongside his group member. 

After a public spat between Sunwoo and Nana, this is the second time a THE BOYZ member has been pointed out for their impolite behavior this month. 

On April 22, the 27-year-old K-pop star apologized via the group’s official social media platform.

Hello, this is Kevin from THE BOYZ.

First of all, I sincerely apologize to all the baseball fans and The B (THE BOYZ fans).

On April 19, I was warmly welcomed by the Kiwoom officials and I am grateful for the precious opportunity. However, I caused discomfort to many people due to my reckless behavior at the event.

At the meaningful moment of the game’s start, I should have only cheered for the Kiwoom players, but I mentioned the other team and acted carelessly. I am truly sorry to those who were offended by it.

I also apologized to Eric, who was deeply invested in the ceremonial pitch, and I apologize again to all Kiwoom fans.

Through this incident, I learned a lot about how much impact words and actions can have. I will be more careful in the future.

I’m sorry.

Kevin April 22, 2025

Meanwhile, THE BOYZ recently signed a group contract with agency ONE HUNDRED and overcame the so-called “7-year curse.”
