4th Gen K-Pop Idols Confront Viral Cake Drop And Diet Theories

Is it really because of diets?

K-Pop idols are known to celebrate their birthdays, often with a live broadcast for fans that includes decorations and a cake. Yet, idols often drop the cakes while showing them off. This happens so often that fans have become suspicious that it’s either a publicity stunt to create a viral moment or that those who follow strict diets might drop the cake to avoid eating it.

One group that has been guilty of dropping cakes is THE BOYZ.

In 2021, Sangyeon famously decorated a cute bunny cake only to drop it while he was showing it to the camera. He appeared shocked and apologetic.

In a new interview, Kevin addressed the “theories” he had seen on TikTok about K-Pop idols “intentionally” dropping their cakes. He spoke only for THE BOYZ, but he admitted it was purely accidental all the times the members had dropped cakes.

You know how there’s like theories on TikTok and stuff about K-Pop idols spilling cakes on purpose like for their diet? I don’t know if it applies to… I don’t know if it’s for other groups, but for THE BOYZ, like our group, it’s been mistakes and accidents 100% of the time. Just wanted to put that out there.

Jacob agreed, adding that they could eat the cake if they wanted to. They confessed that they have even eaten the cake off the ground sometimes.

So, in the case of THE BOYZ, they’re just clumsy!
