K-Pop fans are outraged after a recent episode of The Try Guys’ “Trolley Problems” featured a sexually suggestive comment about THE BOYZ’s Kevin.
During the episode, Try Guy Zach Kornfield posed a hypothetical scenario to his co-hosts, Keith Habersberger and K-Pop enthusiast Joyce Louis-Jean. He asked Joyce if she would rather have a one-night stand and forget K-Pop exists, or call BTS overrated and face the wrath of the ARMY (BTS’s dedicated fanbase).
Joyce, predictably, chose the latter, demonstrating her unwavering commitment to her K-Pop fandom. However, the question itself has sparked controversy, with many fans calling it inappropriate and disrespectful.
The comment has been widely condemned by fans, who have taken to social media to express their displeasure. Many have pointed out that the question trivializes Kevin’s personal life and reduces him to a mere object of desire.
Kevin himself has responded to the incident, taking to social media to express his disappointment. While he didn’t directly address the comment, he did share a message about the importance of respecting others and their boundaries.
This incident highlights the need for greater sensitivity and awareness when discussing K-Pop idols and their personal lives. Fans are calling for The Try Guys to acknowledge the issue and apologize for the inappropriate comment.
