THE BOYZ Sunwoo recently drew mixed reactions from The Bs after he made a controversial remark during a live stream.
Read below to know what happened.
THE BOYZ Sunwoo's Inappropriate Intercation With The B
In the clip, a Japanese fan asked THE BOYZ Sunwoo why he thinks she is wearing her pajama.
At first, THE BOYZ Sunwoo seemed confused by the question so he repeated it and asked if the Japanese fan was referring to "you and I."
The fan said yes before suggesting that they sleep together.
THE BOYZ Sunwoo and the fan ended up laughing following their exchange, but it is obvious that it was taken out of context.
After all, it was the fan and not Sunwoo that suggested that they sleep together. And even the sentence does not necessarily imply something negative or offensive.
The Bs' Negative Reactions to Sunwoo's Remarks
However, some The B's could not help but be upset with what happened between THE BOYZ Sunwoo and the fan.
Some of them said that the conversation was just inappropriate especially since it was between a man and a woman. It was even more upsetting because The BOYZ Sunwoo should have shown the Japanese fan more respect.
Others also slammed the agency handling THE BOYZ for not overseeing the K-pop group's fan sign video call.
They said that if someone from the management was there, it was unlikely for the inappropriate conversation to have taken place.
Another The B said that fans need to buy hundreds of tickets and pay good money just to be able to be part of their idol's video calls. So, they should not be sexually harassed this way.
