It has been criticized for rude behavior.
The boy‘S Kevin It was recently invited to launch the opening field for Kiom Heroes, a baseball team based in South Korea.
However, during the event, he ended up holding a sign on his phone who expressed his wishes to launch for another team. Kevin held a note that read, “I hope it arrives the day when the national anthem is sung in Gwangju, the hometown of the Kia Tigers. “
What was worse is that the OP who had witnessed this added that Kevin even made the biggest character when fans were unable to see him, and gave fans a thumb after confirming that he had read it.
This has become a big problem as many found it rude. The South Koreans take baseball very seriously and Kiom Heroes fans found Kevin recklessly mentioned a different team to the event itself in which he should cheer for Kiwoom Heroes. Kevin issued apologies on April 22, 2025.
Hi, this is Kevin of The Boyz.
First of all, I sincerely apologize to the baseball fans who love sport and with our fans, the B.
On April 19th I was warmly welcomed by the representatives of Kiom Heroes and I was given a significant opportunity, for which I am very grateful. However, at that moment, my negligent words and actions caused uncomfortable to many people. At such a significant moment destined to cheer for Kiwoom players, I made a reckless comment by mentioning another team and I really apologize to anyone who was angry about it.
I also personally apologized to my colleague Eric, who attributed great importance to the first ceremonial shot, and I would once again extend my sincere excuses to all Kiom fans.
Through this experience, I learned how much importance may have words and actions. I will be more aware and I will act with greater care to go on.
I’m really sorry.
– Kevin
