HYBE Idol Baekseung Targeted by BOYNEXTDOOR Fans' Harassment

Fans of BOYNEXTDOOR, a HYBE‑managed boy group, launched a wave of malicious comments against Baekseung, a member of the debuting group EPEX, after a dance‑challenge video involving BOYNEXTDOOR’s Leehan sparked criticism. The online backlash accused Baekseung of exploiting the controversy to gain visibility.

In response, Baekseung’s agency disabled comments on his new YouTube channel and announced that unrelated remarks would be removed. The swift action was praised by netizens, who called the agency’s handling of the situation appropriate and urged further measures against the harassing fans.
