A pre-debut controversy surrounding The Boyz' Sunwoo is resurfacing.

On an online forum, netizens revisited a series of AskFM responses traced back to Sunwoo during his pre-debut years. Although these posts initially surfaced shortly after his debut, recent controversies involving Nana have reignited discussion about Sunwoo’s attitude and past behavior.

The AskFM responses include heavy profanity, misogynistic statements, and other disturbing content that is once again shocking netizens.

The Q&A replies include:

Q: Your tip on how to never lose your drive?
A: Because it's always mixed with sex drive.

A: Night exercise with me, let's go

Q: I can s*** your d***, let's date
A: Crazy b****;;; this is Day 1 for us

Q: What kind of sports do you like to watch?

A: Porn

Q: What kind of woman do you like?

Q: If there's an imaginary garden, what do you want to raise in there?
A: Women

Netizens expressed disbelief that this controversy had previously surfaced but was seemingly overlooked or dismissed by the public.

Reactions include:


"My eyes... I couldn’t even finish reading before I scrolled away. So disgusting."


"Did fans really go and curse at Nana to defend this guy?"


"I honestly hope his future falls apart. This is beyond bad."


"Ah… this finally got dug up again."

"He said women are pets...? Seriously?"


"I’d rather deal with people mocking 'my AirPods' than see this kind of filth. And it's because some fans are trying to defend this that we're even seeing it."

"It kept getting reposted for ages, but people ignored it because he wasn’t famous lol."

"So it got buried because he's a nobody? Turns out this is who he really is. Honestly amazed he even debuted."


"It’s not even stuff like 'wide hips' or 'big boobs' — his ideal type is a woman with no future... lmao."

"A woman with no future is such an extreme line. I’ll never forget it. You don’t say stuff like that if you see women as human. He really got lucky to become a celebrity."


"This is just gross. His ideal type being a woman with no future?"


"Wow, looks like the fans really shielded him."


"Out of all male idols’ controversial pasts, this one makes me feel the grossest."

"Even if a female celebrity had a wild past, would she be worse than this 'garden man'? lol"

"He wasn’t even that famous, so I forgot his name — but that old AskFM post was so revolting I still remember lol."


"What is this? Everyone, go rinse your eyes."


"He was making a fuss, and now this gets dragged up again lol. People who didn’t even know him are learning now."


"You can tell everything from just one thing."


"Wow, I didn’t even know this celeb until now — what a disgusting way to find out."


"Of course, acting out always comes back to bite you."


"That sounds like the mindset of someone who hopes women stay stuck in life."


"Even after seeing this... fans are still stanning him and leaving comments on Nana’s Instagram??? Male fans have lost it..."


"This is seriously shocking."


"If it were me, I’d consider it a blessing to still have a career after getting exposed like this. I’d try to stay low-key in public. Guess people get careless with time in the industry."


"??????? What did I just see?"


"Being a nobody was his best defense. How does someone like this become an idol in Korea?"


"I hate that someone like that even debuted, and on top of that, he's a popular member. Yet he's so dismissive toward male idols — the irony."


"He’s a popular member??? Are we living in different worlds? How are people just overlooking this???"


"LOL fans' blind loyalty is really something else."


"Oh f***... my eyes..."


"He says this was written in middle school, but now he's filming an MV with a female friend he’s known since then..? lol."


"Do fans actually like him knowing all this? They must have iron stomachs."


"Looks like Nana figured him out from one post. But let’s be real — it wasn’t just one incident lol."

"So gross. People are still defending him and even dragging others for it? So this is what they were protecting?"


"I swear this has been dug up at least ten times but no one remembers lol. That’s how unknown he is — and fans had the nerve to say that Nana was piggybacking off his popularity lmao"


"I felt something was off when he was on Radio Star last time, but brushed it off... and yet here we are."


"That’s not just attention-seeking — that’s straight-up delinquent behavior."


"Someone like this... succeeding with money from female fans is just..."


"I mean, you might let one or two things slide as a mistake, but his ideal type is a woman with no future???? The one he wants to grow in a garden is a woman, the one he wants to keep as a pet is also a woman... this is a bit much..."


"His 'ideal type' being a woman with no future is just... the intent behind that is so clear, and it’s gross beyond words."


"There are tons of male idols out there — I seriously don’t get why anyone would choose to stan someone like this."
