The Boyz's choreographer faced criticism after comparing the group to Seventeen and making rude comments.
On August 5th, the new podcast episode was posted on 1MILLION Dance Studio's YouTube channel. The podcast is hosted by two famous choreographers Back Koo Young and Choi Young Jun. Back Koo Young (one on the left) is a choreographer for The Boyz and Choi Young Jun (one on the right) is a choreographer for Seventeen.
In the episode, the two choreographers watched the dance practice videos of idols together, including Seventeen's "Super." Back Koo Young then commented, "So basically, Seventeen has better skills." Choi Young Jun responded, "Both groups did well so for me it was really hard to say who did better." Back Koo Young continued, "Oh really? No matter how I look, Seventeen was better."
Choi Young Jun said, "I think they were neck and neck. And I've done it before. I did about three songs with them. Especially Juyeon, Sunwoo, and Q are the ones that you can hardly find in any other groups." However, Back Koo Young said, "Hmm, I feel like they are going to get cocky if they see this."
Choi Young Jun dispelled, "That's not going to happen. If they were such people, they would not have survived in the industry." Back Koo Young concluded the talk by saying, "You guys have to stay humble like I said yesterday."
Many fans thought Back Koo Young's comments crossed the line. The said podcast video was deleted after receiving much criticism and 1MILLION Dance Studio posted an apology on its YouTube channel's community tab.
