K-Netz Compare BOYNEXTDOOR's Behavior to IU, BTS, NewJeans After Group's Controversial Security Incident
BOYNEXTDOOR became the subject of numerous threads across the online community for their controversial airport incident caused by the group's security personnel.
Videos and reports spread online, showing the guard had slammed the fan into the ground to pave the way for BOYNEXTDOOR. This caused a rift inside the K-pop community, with some siding with the guard's tenacity, while others were concerned with the fan's well-being.
On December 19, KOZ Entertainment broke silence and addressed the situation. The agency apologized to the fan directly and to everyone who was affected by the commotion. It also shared that the certain personnel will not be dispatched to their artist's future schedules.
However, many were disappointed with how the agency handled the issue since it only released a statement right after the incident made headlines in Korea. The negative reactions poured in even more when netizens directed their attention towards BOYNEXTDOOR's behavior.
"NewJeans actually helped the staff clean their seats, especially Hanni and Hyein who both got up right away."
Netizens gathered in the comments section to criticize BOYNEXTDOOR's behavior.
Read their comments below:
- "There's a reason why they're flopping."
- "I don't believe they meant it this way, but if little instances like that are added up to look like that, then I can't help but judge them."
- "When rookies act like that right from their debut, there's a higher chance for them to get into a controversy later."
- "If you received basic home education and level of common sense, of course, you should help or at least stay away to not block the way for them."
- "The way they're just turning their backs is f**king turning me off. It's like they're asking them to speed it up because they want to sit back down so badly."
- "To the ones defending this, I hope you get to experience tidying up someone else's chair while they stand there. You'll feel offended too."
