It hasn't been very long since 5 member boy group Road Boyz debuted, but they have already gotten themselves into a slight controversy with another fandom.
What happened was that on the December 20th broadcast of 'Inkigayo', Psy, EXO and Zico were the nominees for the first place trophy (which Psy won). When EXO had their camera one-shot as one of the nominees, fans noticed that instead of all the EXO members, a few members of Road Boyz were caught in the shot instead.
You can see in the video above, the Road Boyz members look excited to be shown on camera as they wave to their fans. But netizens noticed that because of them, some EXO members were pushed back. Chanyeol especially tried to move around and lift his head to show on camera, but wasn't able to.
Some fans weren't so happy about this, and even said that EXO wasn't able to fully enjoy their nominee moment because of this.
This led Road Boyz' agency to issue an official apology. On the rookie group's official Facebook page, their company, Coconut Entertainment stated:
Hello. This is Coconut Entertainment.
This is regarding yesterday's broadcast of 'Inkigayo', where the actions of the Road Boyz members on stage of the number one trophy reveal, made many people uncomfortable. We sincerely apologize to EXO, who were the main protagonists of that stage, and to EXO's fans who were upset by what they saw.
They are rookies who haven't even debuted for a month yet, and still have a limited mental horizon, and thus showed a lack of consideration. We admit our major fault as an agency for failing to bring attention [to this kind of thing to the members] before the incident. We will make sure that this kind of action, which made a lot of people uncomfortable, does not happen again.
We apologize once again and we will show ourselves in a more mature light. Thank you.
What are your thoughts on the matter?
