A heated controversy emerged after Nana publicly criticized THE BOYZ’s Sunwoo over what she perceived as a poor attitude. The controversy started when Nana commented on a video that seemed to show THE BOYZ not bowing to the staff, a common courtesy in Korea.
The former After School K-pop idol commented on a video, saying, “Someone needs to be scolded”. Netizens also called out the Sunwoo for his seemingly rude behavior.
However, his fans defended him, criticizing Nana for focusing on a minor issue and causing misunderstandings. They argued that she should have addressed more serious concerns, like the Kim Soo Hyun controversy, instead of highlighting a seemingly minor oversight.
Sunwoo explained the controversy on the fan messaging app, Bubble, saying,
“It’s not that I’m saying “AirPods AirPods” all the time. I saw the video and it just looked like I was being rude and not greeting anyone. A fan yelled something, but I didn’t know what fell, so I was confused. Then I realized it was AirPods, and I said “My AirPods!!” and looked for them with my eyes, but I couldn’t find them. I picked them up when they were handed to me and said “Thank you!” without bowing my head…!
I understand that it could easily look that way.
I always say “Thank you!” when someone holds the door open for me from behind, and I always greet people well… ^^ Don’t worry.
And people who are just trying to twist my words and find fault with everything I say are wasting their lives. That’s their life’s work, finding comfort and escape in tearing others down. I hope you continue living your unhappy life, seeing everything through a miserable perspective.
I’m mentioning this because I feel bad for The B and I want to reflect on myself, not because I need to look good to you guys. Who are you anyway? Haha? I want to tell you that.
I’ll take care of the people around me, the people who work hard for me, and The B. I’ll keep doing my job and working hard with The B.”
Fans continue to support Sunwoo, criticizing Nana for bringing up this minor issue on his birthday and potentially ruining his special day. Share your thoughts on the controversy and see
