BOYNEXTDOOR Receives Mixed Reactions For 'Showing Off' iPhones + ONEDOORs Defend Boy Group

BOYNEXTDOOR's latest gestures sparked an online thread among netizens, who called out the members for "showing off" their iPhones.

On October 11, K-netz opened a forum, titled, "I'm Honestly A Bit Disappointed at BOYNEXTDOOR." According to the post's author, the members immediately switched to their iPhones as soon as their contract with Galaxy had ended.

"Sure, they might have wanted to use their iPhones, but it doesn't seem polite to do that immediately after their contract (with Galaxy) ends," OP shared. "They can authenticate fans' gifts and though it might look trivial, it still gives off the impression of being thoughtless. It's disappointing. They even received a coffee truck from Galaxy."

Here's how netizens reacted to the post:

• "I still don't understand the need to go obvious like that."
• "They're likable so why are they doing this? I'm not saying you're deplorable for using iPhones, but what turns me off is the attitude."

Fans defended the group from the scrutiny and criticism. However, some couldn't help but point out the members' actions with their phones.

• "They prefer iPhones and other products from Apple. It's not that serious and you'll be okay."
• "Maybe they're trying to get the Apple deal next."
• "It's not that deep. Are K-netz obsessed with what phone brands their idols have? You couldn't pay me to care."
• "I was about to laugh at them for imagining things, but they really are showing those off."
• "It's hilarious, they were definitely counting the days."
