ONE HUNDRED requested that fans refrain from spreading misinformation or making personal attacks and promised to protect the rights and well-being of its artists.
What’s Happening with Sunwoo?
The issue began when a fan-filmed video surfaced online showing THE BOYZ entering an elevator. In the clip, Sunwoo can be heard exclaiming, “My AirPods!” after noticing that his wireless earphones had fallen outside the elevator. A security guard quickly retrieved the AirPods and handed them back to Sunwoo. However, viewers online began criticizing Sunwoo’s tone and mannerisms, accusing him of being rude and treating the guard disrespectfully.
In an effort to clarify the situation, Sunwoo personally addressed the matter through a private message on a fan communication platform. He explained that although the short video clip didn’t capture the full interaction, he had bowed and thanked the guard after receiving the AirPods. He also expressed his regret that his tone and body language might have been misunderstood, and he apologized to fans who felt disappointed by the interaction.
Despite Sunwoo’s explanation, the issue continued to spread rapidly online, with some netizens demanding a more formal response.
As the debate continues, fans remain divided, but many have expressed support for Sunwoo and called for understanding.
