The Boyz’s Sunwoo Apologizes for Personality Controversy “I Will Reflect on My Words and Actions + Oversights, and Prove Them” (Full Text)[Comprehensive]

The Boyz’s Sunwoo has issued a heartfelt apology for the controversy surrounding his personality.

On the night of the 14th, Sunwoo posted an apology on The Boyz’s SNS.Unlike his previous short statements on fan communication communities, it was a lengthy apology written formally and with sincerity.

First, he started by saying, “I’ve been worrying and thinking about how I can properly convey my honest thoughts and feelings, and whether I might be writing something that isn’t sincere, so I apologize for the delay in writing this.” He then confessed, “First of all, I think you must be very tired.I constantly reflect on my words and actions and my mistakes.”

Seonwoo apologized, saying, “The intention of what I wanted to say was distorted due to my personal thoughts and irrational words and actions, and even though I had no such intentions, I was swept away by my emotions and could not help but feel that way.I would like to apologize for not being careful with my words and actions.I want to tell you that this is absolutely not a post simply to get over this situation.Because I am lacking, I was unable to respond maturely from the beginning, and my words and actions in trying to defend myself from the hurt caused by the excessive criticism have hurt many people.”

He expressed his determination, saying, “I don’t just want to ask for forgiveness or express my grievances, but I first need to recognize that if I appeared that way to someone, I could really have been that kind of person.And going forward, I will prove to you and to myself that I am not that kind of person, that I am a person who truly values and cares for relationships and hearts between people, even if it takes time.”

He said, “Lastly, this post is my apology to those who criticized my carelessness and immaturity, those who were hurt by the discomfort they felt seeing my actions, and everyone around me who loves me.I hope that my feelings are conveyed without any misunderstanding through this post.” He then said, “Once again, I sincerely apologize to everyone who was uncomfortable and hurt by my immature responses.And I am so sorry to the Derby(fandom)who love me.”

Sunwoo has recently been criticized by netizens due to a controversy over his character related to an online video of his earphones.The video in question shows Sunwoo waiting while shouting, “My earphones,” instead of picking up his own earphones that he had dropped while moving.The bodyguard picked them up and handed them to him with both hands, but Sunwoo silently accepted them with one hand.


The video drew even more attention when senior idol and former After School member Nana directly commented on it, saying, “I guess I should get in trouble.” When one netizen retorted, “You’re judging people based on just a few seconds of footage,” Nana shot back, “You know ten by seeing one.”

Nana did not hold back and revealed her thoughts despite being subjected to a barrage of comments from some netizens.On the 13th, she stated, “You shouldn’t judge people based on just a short video,” but added, “I didn’t make a judgment about what kind of person they were, but their actions seemed very rude and it was quite a shocking video for me.I just wrote down my feelings, thinking, ‘He deserves to be scolded,’ because I thought that kind of behavior was not right based on his actions and words.” She added, “I don’t know who he is, but if someone like that were next to me, I would have said the same thing,” and added,“ ‘He deserves to be scolded?’ and ‘Where did you learn to act like that?’ “while adding a laughing emoticon, once again pointing out Sunwoo’s behavior.


Seonwoo couldn’t hold it in either.Having expressed his grievances through a fan communication community, he once again appealed his grievances as the controversy did not die down.On the 13th, Seonwoo said, “I would never do that behind people’s back, but in front of all the fans, would I be crazy and yell at the bodyguard to pick up my AirPods? I’m so stupid.Even when I try to reflect on how I looked like that, (I feel wronged).I’m getting cursed at like this for saying what I wanted to say with those who crossed the line and left malicious comments with just a few seconds of video…People are really scary.”

Seonwoo said, “You should do it in moderation, or just keep your mouth shut and let it go.I’m going to talk because I feel like it’ll fester and rot if I don’t talk.There might be some Derby(fandom)who don’t even like this, and I’m really sorry.” He added, “I’m used to getting cursed at.Please stop worrying about me.I’m really okay.They might be upset, but Derby who’s seen me for a few years knows me better than people who’ve seen me for a few seconds.” He also promised, “I’ll work harder on my actions so that people don’t misunderstand me as a bully and a bad person, so that Derby doesn’t have to make explanations like this, and so that people can just look at me and say, ‘He’s a gentleman.’These are areas that I need to continue to improve in the future.”

It was a self-’ pull-up(act of raising an issue)’that was worse than not doing it at all.Netizens expressed their disappointment by focusing more on somewhat provocative words such as’ fool ‘,’ crazy ‘, and’ shut up ‘.After that, Sunwoo continued to make immature comments such as “If I had superpowers, I’d feed them all Hawaiian pizza, it’s so annoying.Eight, tho, I really won’t mention it anymore.”

In the end, the agency Won Hundred stepped in and took care of the situation.Won Hundred apologized on the night of the 13th, saying that Sunwoo was reflecting on his actions and that the agency also felt responsible from a management perspective.They promised not to repeat the mistake and declared that they would take strong legal action against malicious comments.

The incident seems to be coming to an end as Sunwoo’s official apology was released just a day after the agency’s apology.However, it is expected that Sunwoo’s image, which has been damaged by the controversy over his character, will not be easy to recover for the time being.If he proves himself as he promised and said, even if it takes time, he may one day be able to reach the level of a ‘gentleman’.
