Tweets featuring clips of THE BOYZ‘s recent concert have gone viral, with fans calling out what they describe as unprecedented, “bizarre” behavior amid the group’s ongoing legal disputes.
THE BOYZ’s New Swept Up In Speculations Following Contract Termination Controversy
The tweets, which spread rapidly on theqoo, center on footage from the concert showing member New getting on and off the stage mid-performance to take on his parts—an occurrence many fans claim is highly unusual in K-Pop.
뉴 이번 콘서트에서 유앤아이 쉨유다운처럼 안무 어려운 무대는 불참하고 체크메이트는 자기 파트만 부르고 쏙 빠졌네 존나 성의 없다 pic.twitter.com/F3WwVPgnpx

New skipped the stages with difficult choreography this concert, like ‘You and I’ and ‘Shake You Down,’ and for ‘Checkmate’ he just sang his part and dipped… F*cking no effort at all.

No, like seriously? What shocked me was him just leaving in the middle of the performance right after finishing his part.

Even during the ‘Talk’ performance, he’s sneakily hiding behind the set, then comes out just to sing his part and leaves LOL… he didn’t even join the final ending either.

The member was also called out for putting in low effort whenever he did happen to grace the stage.

He only came out for one opening section with ‘Echo’ and then pulled this bullsh*t…

This is how he’s doing even the easiest choreos so what the f*ck do we do?

Especially given the fact that New is the only THE BOYZ member who opted out of filing for contract termination with ONE HUNDRED, his behavior is simply fueling speculations and negative reactions across online communities.
- “Whatever issues they have among themselves, this kind of behavior is basically ignoring the fans who came to see them… seriously so half-hearted.”
- “There are cases where performances are adjusted like that because of injuries, but usually if someone’s injured they limp off slowly or move carefully… it’s so bizarre seeing him just walk off like that perfectly fine.”
- “What even is that LOL… is he just doing the bare minimum to still get paid? That attitude is seriously off-putting. I bet the other THE BOYZ members are the most pissed… in K-Pop, the stage performance is everything and he’s really crossing the line.”
- “How can he perform like that… he’s not thinking about the fans who came at all.”
- “Between the musical issue and now THE BOYZ being in a lawsuit, they prepared this concert amid great difficulty… and he’s acting on stage like that? What does he think the stage is?”
For many K-Pop fans, accustomed to tightly choreographed performances and seamless stage transitions, the situation is particularly noticeable as out of place.
- “At this point wouldn’t it be better for him to just not participate in the concert at all?”
- “Isn’t this just hurting himself? All the members are leaving the company. Is he staying because he wants to or he can’t?”
- “After going to the concert I decided I’m only going to support THE BOYZ now. Excluding the one member who says he’s a part of the group but doesn’t act like it.”
- “All the other members are dancing full-out but he just sings his part and shows up again for the ending… that’s seriously annoying.”
- “Him coming and going must have been so annoying to coordinate for the other members… He should’ve just done the whole concert. This is so f*cked up.”
- “Wow but the other members are seriously dancing their hearts out.”
- “One member even shattered his knee and still came out to dance after taking painkillers backstage, but someone else rides in on a lift, half-asses his part, and disappears… how does that make sense?”
- “If he’s going to be like that, he should just not participate.”
- “Why is he performing like that? That’s so f*cked up. At this point, did he not even properly participate in rehearsals?”
This isn’t the only backlash that New is currently facing. Read more about New’s struggles as a musical actor here:
