If you're a K-POP fan, you've probably heard of The Boyz at least once. They're a group with great skills, looks, and fan service, but after their debut, they've been entangled in various incidents, and now they're even called "pa-hyeop." Today, we'll be organizing the representative controversies and problems surrounding The Boyz.

 

 

1. The reason why the term ‘currently hot’ came into being
Until recently, The Boyz member 'Hyunjae' has been hated by fans for various reasons including his lack of communication, stage attitude, and styling.

In particular, the word 'pa-hyeop' was created because he avoids the camera or has no change in facial expression, and disappointment has accumulated among some fans.

2. 'Orange Room withdrawal statement incident'
Many people probably still remember the Orange Room incident that occurred in 2018. It was an incident where The Boyz's Q, Momoland's Nancy, and Cherry Bullet's Heo Jiwon got together and had drinks.


Some fans even released statements demanding the withdrawal of certain members. The agency eventually released statements twice, but it was an incident that had a huge impact on the group's image.

3. 'Cigarette Member' Controversy, Sunwoo's Smoking in a Non-Smoking Area
Member Sunwoo is in a group photo posted on the official account. He became embroiled in controversy after he was caught smoking on a non-smoking beach.

Although he was not a minor, he was criticized for his rude behavior in public places, and he later took steps to improve by posting apologies on his fan cafe and through his agency.

4. The Center of The Boyz's Personality Controversy, Sunwoo & Eric
Seonwoo was put on the chopping block in the past due to his swearing and high-level expressions during his time at Esq.

Eric was a member that fans had pointed out for the 'no-mask controversy' and his attitude at fan signing events. Of course, he did give explanations and apologies, but many say that the public and fans' perceptions of him did not recover easily.

5. The bottle explodes when forgotten, and fans get tired of it
As issues big and small like the cessation of communication on V App, silence on private messages, dating rumors, and controversy over attitude at fan signing events keep occurring, the fans are also getting tired.


In particular, the fact that fans' reactions to each member are mixed is also affecting the group's overall image.
