K-pop Star Sunwoo of THE BOYZ Issues Heartfelt Apology Over Controversial Incident

Sunwoo, a member of the popular K-pop group THE BOYZ, has publicly apologized following an online controversy surrounding his behavior in a recently circulated video. On June 14, the singer posted a heartfelt note on his personal social media, acknowledging the criticism and expressing deep remorse for his actions.

“I’ve been wondering how best to express my honest thoughts and feelings,” Sunwoo wrote. “I also wanted to make sure that I wasn’t writing this out of compulsion rather than sincerity. I apologize that it took time to gather my words.”

Sunwoo emphasized that his intention was not to seek forgiveness or explain away his actions. Instead, he accepted the criticism, writing, “If someone saw me in a negative light, I must acknowledge that perhaps I was indeed that kind of person in that moment. I plan to spend time proving—both to you and myself—that I am someone who values people and relationships deeply.”

The apology follows a viral elevator video in which Sunwoo drops one of his AirPods and a bodyguard retrieves it for him. Netizens criticized the star for not reacting promptly or thanking the bodyguard. The controversy grew when actress Nana commented on the video, saying, “Someone needs to be scolded.”

In his message, Sunwoo added, “I am truly sorry to those who were hurt or made uncomfortable by my behavior. This apology is not just directed at my fans, but at everyone around me who has supported me.”

Sunwoo concluded his note by expressing his desire for zero misunderstandings and made a promise to grow from the experience: “This was not written to move past the situation lightly. I was immature and failed to handle criticism maturely. Please accept my sincere apologies.”

The incident has sparked broader conversations online about celebrity etiquette and the pressures of fame in the K-pop industry. As Sunwoo continues to reflect and rebuild trust, fans are watching closely to see how this moment may shape his personal growth and career trajectory.
