He said in Korean: “First, I would like to sincerely apologise to the fans who must have been shocked by the recent articles about me, as well as to everyone who has been concerned due to this unfortunate incident.
“In the wee hours of the morning of May 30 2025, I attended a private gathering with alcohol together with an acquaintance, and while it is true that I was at that gathering, it is completely false that I engaged in any illegal activity, such as the prostitution that is being mentioned in news reports and rumours.
He continued: “I am deeply reflecting on my actions, and I would like to sincerely apologise to everyone who was shocked by this.”
The Boyz, now made up of 10 members – Sangyeon, Jacob, Younghoon, Hyunjae, Juyeon, Kevin, New, Q, Sunwoo, and Eric – debuted in 2017 and are best known for songs like The Stealer, Reveal and Salty.
Apart from Korean songs, The Boyz also released three Japanese studio albums titled Breaking Dawn (2021), Delicious (2023) and Gibberish (2024).
