The fallout from the viral video depicting THE BOYZ‘s Sunwoo’s interaction with a security guard continues, with actress and former After School member Nana now finding herself in the crosshairs of angry Sunwoo fans on Instagram.
The controversy erupted after a video surfaced online showing Sunwoo dropping his AirPods near an elevator. Upon realizing, he called out, “My AirPod!” A security guard promptly retrieved the item and offered it to Sunwoo with both hands. However, Sunwoo received it with only one hand and appeared to show no visible gratitude for the gesture. This seemingly small interaction ignited a firestorm of criticism online, with many netizens calling out Sunwoo for not picking up his own belongings, for yelling, and for his perceived lack of politeness towards the staff member.

Adding fuel to the flames, Nana weighed in on the situation by leaving a sharp comment on the viral video, stating,
“He needs to be scolded.”
This direct criticism from a senior figure in the entertainment industry further amplified the debate and, as a result, triggered a significant backlash from passionate fans of THE BOYZ.
In the hours following Nana’s comment, her personal Instagram account was flooded with angry messages from Sunwoo’s supporters. Many fans demanded an apology from Nana to Sunwoo, while others criticized her for what they deemed as harsh and unnecessary words. Some even questioned her motives, with one fan writing,
“You should be grateful for knowing Sunwoo,”
while others pointed to other ongoing celebrity controversies, asking,
“Why are you not talking about Kim Soo Hyun?”
Despite the mounting wave of negative comments directed at Nana, Sunwoo himself addressed the controversy through a fan communication platform. He acknowledged the widespread discussion surrounding the video and admitted that it could easily be perceived as him acting without proper manners.
“Everyone kept talking about the AirPod, so I looked up the video. Honestly, it does look like I just took it without even greeting or showing any manners,” Sunwoo confessed.
He went on to explain the context of the moment, stating,
“A fan shouted something at that moment, and I was confused because I didn’t know what had fallen. I later realized it was my AirPod and looked around before receiving it from the person who picked it up. I did say ‘thank you’ without bowing my head.”
Sunwoo acknowledged that his actions might have appeared rude and promised to learn from the incident, saying,
“I’ll behave better so these kinds of misunderstandings don’t happen again.”
While Sunwoo’s apology has offered some clarity and perhaps appeased a portion of the public, the controversy continues to simmer online. Fans remain divided, with many still expressing their disappointment and criticizing Sunwoo’s initial behavior, while others have rallied to his defense, criticizing Nana for her public reprimand.
