…after she left a comment calling out THE BOYZ‘s Sunwoo and his viral “AirPod Video.”
Actress Nana Publicly Calls Out THE BOYZ’s Sunwoo For Alleged Rude Behavior Towards Staff
While she stood her ground, defending her opinion with a second comment that hinted at how the boy group member’s action “speaks volumes,” Nana did take to Bubble and explained more for her own concerned fans.
In the message, she pointed out that she knows not to judge people in split seconds…
It seems like people are talking about the comments I left.
I was surprised too when I saw all the malicious comments and messages telling me to apologize on my Instagram. Know that it wasn’t a comment I wrote with the intention of it becoming news, but things seem to have gotten bigger than I expected, and I’m a bit concerned.
I don’t think it’s right to judge someone based on just a short clip. But to be clear, I wasn’t trying to label that person or decide what kind of person he is. It’s just that his behavior looked very rude to me, and the video itself was quite shocking.
So, my comment—that he ought to be scolded—was simply an emotional reaction to his behavior and words, not of the person himself.

…but also that, for her, the video—which she had watched over and over again to get a better understanding of the situation—was enough to convince her that his behavior was indeed rude.
He saw that he had dropped his AirPods and yelled, ‘My AirPods!’ so that everyone around could hear. But he didn’t take a single step, even though they were just a few steps away. Who was he expecting to pick them up? Was he unable to move? Was it because he was with someone much younger, and assumed that since they’re his guard, they should act as his hands and feet?
Or was he talking to the AirPods he dropped, telling it to come to him on their own?
No, that’s not what I saw in the video. But I could be wrong too. Anyone can be misunderstood depending on the situation.That’s why I watched the video over and over again.
I don’t know who he is, but if someone like that had been next to me, I would’ve said the exact same thing. I would’ve said, ‘You need a lesson.’ And I probably would’ve added, ‘Where did you learn to act like that?’
