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.

ITZY's Yuna opened up about her childhood, her school days, and even the surprising secret behind her perfectly shaped head in a fun and heartwarming video.

On April 30, Yuna appeared in a new video on the YouTube channel "You Nani Bit Ina", where she visited her old middle school. Standing in front of the building, Yuna smiled and said, “This is the middle school I went to when I was younger. Well, it was five years ago, so not that long ago.”

She shared a fun memory, saying, “I came back once after graduating because I kept in touch with one of the teachers. All the teachers came out to greet me, and the students were so excited!”

When asked if she was popular back in school, Yuna gave an honest and funny answer. “I don’t think there were any boys’ schools nearby. "

She added, "And when I was in elementary school, boys liked girls who were quiet, cute, and sweet. But I was loud and outgoing, so I wasn’t their type. Back then, boys didn’t really like girls who were too pretty—they preferred someone more plain and simple.”

Later in the video, while filming at a local snack shop, Yuna got a surprise visit from her mom. Shocked, Yuna asked, “Why did you come without saying anything?”

Her mom sweetly revealed that Yuna had always dreamed of being on TV. Yuna added, “I never thought I’d be an idol. I imagined maybe I’d be a show host, an announcer, or even a pretty comedian.”

When asked when she realized Yuna had grown up, her mom said, “After she debuted, she always asked me for feedback. But eventually, she started making her own choices, and that’s when I knew she had grown up. At first, I was even worried about her hand gestures and facial expressions.”

Yuna chimed in, “My mom used to tell me I was doing too much when she watched my fancams.” Her mom smiled and said, “Isn’t Yuna the prettiest when she’s natural? I think she’s slowly learning that on her own.”

Then came the cutest story of the day—Yuna talked about how her head shape became so perfect. “When I was a baby, my mom would lay me down at different angles to make my head round—like using a protractor.”

Yuna laughed. Her mom looked a bit embarrassed but admitted, “I tried that with my first child too, but I started too late—around two months after birth. With Yuna, I started right away.”

Yuna then proudly pointed to her head and said, “Mom’s touch!” making everyone laugh.

Fans were touched by Yuna’s honest and playful personality, and many praised the sweet bond between her and her mom.
