Following his “airport airpod controversy” that leads to criticizing comments from idol-actress Nana, THE BOYZ’s Sunwoo is facing new backlash over his questionable comments about an actress. However, waves of criticisms about the male idol seem far from ending, as pre-debut posts from his Ask.fm account resurfaced online, revealing a series of offensive and inappropriate remarks.
In the posts, Sunwoo responded to anonymous questions with answers that included sexually explicit jokes, misogynistic comments, and aggressive language. Some content of the Ask.fm account can be seen below:
“Q: What’s your secret to always being motivated?
A: Mixing in my s\*xual desireQ: What are you gonna do if you like a taken woman?
A: Steal her away.Q: Which foreign pet would you like to raise?
A: Foreign womanAdvertisementQ: A type of pet you want to have?
A: WomanQ: I wanna die since I’m only 158 cm (5.2ft)
A: If you are male, I agree
Q: What’s your ideal type?
A: Big eyes, no bangs, medium-length hair, shorter than me, and… I’d prefer someone without a bright futureAdvertisementQ: My legs are rather fat, is there a way to quickly lose weight?
A: Engage in late-night exercises with meQ: Which sports do you like to watch?
A: P\*rn
Q: If you have an online garden, what are you going to grow there?
A: Women”
On top of these, various instances of Sunwoo cursing and mentioning topics of s\*x and p\*rn were included, leading to widespread condemnation. As a result, many questioning how such behavior was overlooked during his debut, leaving comments such as, “How is this guy a celebrity?”, “I’m shocked that somebody like him was allowed to debut”, and “He has had a rotten mindset since young”.
Meanwhile, some fans argued that a friend of Sunwoo once defended the male idol, claiming that these answers were not posted by Sunwoo but by said friend. However, it was contended that it was discovered that the ask.fm’s password was the same as the male idol’s number, suggesting that Sunwoo may still have control of the account.
The account has since been deactivated, and as the situation unfolds, fans and the public await an official statement from THE BOYZ‘s management.
