The Boyz member Sunwoo has issued an apology after facing backlash over his behavior toward a bodyguard.

The controversy began when a video of Sunwoo leaving a radio broadcast went viral. In the video, Sunwoo, after entering an elevator, suddenly shouted, "My AirPods!"

A bodyguard behind him picked up the AirPods and handed them to him, but Sunwoo took them without properly thanking the bodyguard, which sparked criticism for his lack of manners.

Sunwoo responded to the controversy on a fan communication platform, admitting, "Everyone was talking about the AirPods, so I watched the video. It really looks like I just took them without thanking or greeting properly."

He explained, "A fan yelled something, and I didn’t realize anything had fallen. I was confused and then noticed my AirPods were missing, so I shouted 'My AirPods!' I was looking for them, but I couldn’t find them. When I got them from the bodyguard, I said 'thank you,' but I didn’t bow or show the respect I should have."

Sunwoo further added, "I realize it could have looked bad. I always try to say thank you when someone holds the door for me or does something for me. Don’t worry, I always try to greet people properly."

He continued, "I can’t explain everything in detail, but I see now that I made a mistake. I understand how it looked, and I’ll be more careful to avoid misunderstandings in the future. I always greet the staff and others with respect at music shows."

This isn’t the first time Sunwoo has been involved in a controversy. Back in July 2020, he apologized for a smoking scandal after a photo of him holding a cigarette at a no-smoking beach was shared online.

While Sunwoo was not underage, the issue was about the inappropriate behavior at a public, no-smoking area. He later apologized, saying, "I’m sorry to the fans, I made a mistake and broke the rules. I feel terrible for my family, the members, and the company. I will be more careful and ensure this doesn’t happen again."

Fans are hoping Sunwoo learns from his past mistakes and continues to grow.

IU couldn’t help but praise her When Life Gives You Tangerines co-star Kim Seon Ho for his amazing and detailed acting — even revealing that one of his funniest and most touching moments wasn’t even in the script!

On April 3, Netflix Korea dropped a special behind-the-scenes video on YouTube, titled “We Shared All the TMIs and Behind-the-Scenes.”

The video featured director Kim Won Seok, along with cast members IU, Park Bo Gum, Moon So Ri, and Park Hae Joon, as they talked about the drama’s filming stories and shared fun trivia.

IU, who played Geum Myeong, opened up about her character’s first love Yeong Beom (played by Lee Jun Young), saying,
“They were each other’s first love and stayed together for seven years. There was no big fight between them. They broke up for a bad reason, but she still wishes he’s doing okay out there.”

She also talked about the drama’s clever twist, saying,
“There’s this part where Yeong Beom and Gwan Sik say similar lines, so the parents start thinking, ‘Did she bring home the same guy again?’ But in the end, it shows how different they are, which made the story even better.”

IU revealed she cried a lot during the breakup scene and said,
“Even reading the script made me cry. Jun Young and I were crying so much while filming.”
Director Kim added, “This might be the first K-drama where the ex-boyfriend doesn’t die, but the main character still gets to love both her first and second loves.”

Meanwhile, Park Hae Joon had nothing but compliments for Kim Seon Ho, who played Chung Seop.
He said, “Sun Ho doesn’t just go through the lines. He acts with his instincts. He reminded me of myself when I was younger — a bit loose and free, and I liked that about him.”

IU also brought up one memorable scene where Chung Seop stumbles while trying to grab a chair. She laughed and asked,
“That part where he walks and suddenly stumbles — wasn’t that not in the script?”
Director Kim Won Seok confirmed it was all Kim Seon Ho’s idea, saying, “It wasn’t scripted at all.”

That wasn’t the only moment he improvised. The director also revealed,
“There’s a line where he says, ‘Shall I peel the shrimp for you?’ and he briefly switches back to his real voice. That was also his own idea. His acting is full of small details like that.”

Fans were touched by IU’s sincere praise and how much freedom Kim Sun Ho used to build his character. With so many meaningful little moments, it’s no wonder When Life Gives You Tangerines is gaining love for its emotional depth and realistic storytelling.

Netizens reacted by saying:

• “Kim Seon Ho really gives life to every scene.”
• “IU noticing these small things proves how much she cares too.”
• “Kim Seon Ho’s shrimp line was one of my favorite parts!”
• “This cast is full of talent and heart.”

It turns out, sometimes the best acting moments… aren’t even written down.
