Junwon‘s mother is alleged to have abused her power.
On August 24, SBS News reported that Junwon’s mother had overstepped boundaries and had made it difficult for label employees. According to the report, Fantasy Boys’ label representative revealed that the idol’s mother had been overbearing during contract negotiations.
Despite not being a minor, Junwon’s mother also signed the contract. She had also demanded that we speak to her, instead of Junwon, when it came to details in the concert.

The label representative also revealed that the mother had also attempted to influence the group’s fashion choices.
She had tried to interfere with fashion choices that are entrusted to the stylist as well as the way members line up, which is looked over by management.

The idol’s mother is also to have complained about Junwon wearing pants that she felt didn’t match his physique and that he had worn a bag that wasn’t from a designer brand. In an email she wrote to staff members, Junwon’s mother demanded her son receive preferential treatment.
I am not asking for first-place treatment. I am expressing my disappointment that even though (Junwon) placed first on (Fantasy Boys), in the Japanese interview, Sungmin was photographed in the center.
SBS News spoke with Junwon’s mother, who didn’t deny sending the email.
I asked that they switch Junwon’s pants that he wore at the airport because they didn’t cover his physique, but they didn’t listen. I then heard, the next day, that another member had changed his outfit, so I asked the label to look into this. After the Japanese interview (Sungmin) was chosen to stand center, and so I spoke up about the difference in treatment. We have since cleared up the misunderstanding. I then heard that they wouldn’t disclose the schedule, so I brought that up, and they told me they would disclose it to me personally but never did.
