The Boyz's latest photobook shows photos of the members' daily lives. As soon as it became a topic of discussion in online forums, The Boyz's content was considered too sexy, triggering various reactions.
The Boyz became a topic of conversation because troubling photos from their latest photobook circulated. The photobook "The Boyz Zone" features a collection of pictures showing the members' unexpected moments.
Photos of The Boyz circulating show the members doing silly and comfortable activities as if they were taken from everyday life. Actually the photos shown look simple, but the activities are more intimate.
For example, Hyunjae, who appears to be removing make-up with his bare chest until Younghoon is washing his hair, is shown. Other portraits such as Juyeon on the bed are also included. So are the photos of them swimming.
Not just a shocked reaction, The Boys' intention of showing photos in such a way became a conversation. The reason is that some netizens think they are marketing suggestive things because they appear semi-naked.
"If my favorite group makes a photobook like this, I will buy it immediately," said one netizen. "IDK they're just being silly and playful, like there's nothing suggestive about it all," added another.
"But I mean, the members take photos of each other so no one forces or pushes them," commented one netizen. "I think the photos have a natural and comfortable vibe. There's nothing suggestive about this, it's just a snapshot of the members' lives," said another netizen.
In response to negative comments because the concept is too sexy, other netizens asked them not to misunderstand others. Because basically The Boyz releases that content for fans.
"If you don't want to see the photo, then don't. This is a casual and moody photo meant for fans, stop misunderstanding," said another. (wk/inta)
