BoA Hits Back At “Street Man Fighter” Criticism, And SM Entertainment Releases A Statement Warning Legal Action
Amid criticism over her decision on the latest episode of Mnet‘s Street Man Fighter, BoA swung back at her critics.
In the most recent episode of Mnet’s survival show, Prime Kingz was eliminated by the Bank Two Brothers crew in a dance battle. Fans took exception, however, to one of the battle rounds. Despite Prime Kingz’s Trix‘s allegedly decisive win over Bank Two Brother’s J ROC, the judges forfeited their votes, sending the dancers into another battle round where J ROC was announced the winner.
The decision was received harshly by the viewers as many attacked them for how the battle played out.
On September 21, BoA took to her Instagram account, where she responded to fans’ criticism, saying she wasn’t fit to be a judge.
Through her Instagram story, the idol stated that she was tired of the criticism, saying it was wrong to blame the judges for Prime Kingz’s elimination.
It isn’t like the judges aren’t the ones who decide which teams battle for elimination… I’m getting tired of constantly thinking… ‘Would you guys have been less upset if I dropped Bank Two Brothers?’…

BoA then also uploaded another photo of a statement released by SM Entertainment, warning legal repercussions to malicious comments toward her.
