THE BOYZ’s Sunwoo Gets Swept Up In Another Controversy, Involving A “Longtime Female Friend”

THE BOYZ‘s Sunwoo has been caught up in yet another controversy. On his birthday, he released a special cover of Sik-K‘s “Darling.” He participated in the direction of the accompanying music video as well.
The video was of him on a sweet date with a girl. They took walks and joked around together…
…held hands and ran together…
…sat by the river together and more.
Her face was kept obscured from the camera at all times, sometimes with a cap. The romantic mood of the music video suited the song perfectly. As soon as the video went up, Sunwoo immediately clarified that the girl was simply his childhood friend.

- “The video is uploadeed too!”
- “I wanted to film it alone, but I thought that I needed someone to act opposite me, so I asked for help from a brat who has been close to me since middle school. You guys don’t have to be jealous hehe.”
Although he clarified things, his reaction only served to spark greater backlash from fans.

F*ck. I thought it was a trainee from their company, but it turned out that he brought his close female friend from middle school to act as a couple with him? Is he trying to make his fans go insane? Just don’t speak, Sunwoo.

Some compared it to MONSTA X’s Minhyuk, who had recently been accused of dating. His alleged girlfriend is reportedly his close female friend of 15 years.

As the matter continued to go viral, Sunwoo finally spoke up. He clarified that the girl is not simply just a friend, but also an actress. Hence, Sunwoo asked her for help.
And of course, the friend who helped me is not just an ordinary (non-celebrity) person, but she is an actress, hence I asked her for help in a professional capacity. So stop saying weird things.
