[Kfanz Reaction] Fans Accuse BOYNEXTDOOR of Discriminating Against Sungho in “Hollywood Action”
BOYNEXTDOOR’s latest comeback with “Hollywood Action” has sparked heated debate among fans, who accuse the group’s management of unfairly sidelining member Sungho in both line and screen-time distribution.
As the group’s new album “The Action” rolled out, many fans pointed out that Sungho once again received noticeably fewer singing parts and less camera exposure compared to other members. The discussion quickly spread across online communities, with some calling the situation a “pattern of discrimination” that has continued since the group’s debut.
One viral tweet broke down Sungho’s total singing time across all tracks, gaining massive traction:
@addl2e: “Sung-ho’s parts —
‘Hollywood Action’: 16s of 2:28,
‘JAM!’: 13s of 2:28,
‘Live in Paris’: 10s of 1:57,
‘Bathroom’: 12s of 2:20,
‘As Time Goes By’: 23s of 3:43.
Album ‘The Action’: 1m 14s out of 12m total.
Does this really seem okay to you?”
The post has since garnered 850,000 views, 3,500 retweets, and 6,800 likes, amplifying fans’ frustration over the perceived imbalance.
Kfanz Reactions to “Hollywood Action” BOYNEXTDOOR Line Distribution
@hiiiiyeon_: “I’m so pissed I had to log in from my main. And seriously — even in the MV, there isn’t a single moment that focuses on Sungho. Sure, line transitions happen, but did they really have to push him to the back like that?”
@emloku_ (quoted): “Forget everything else — in ‘Hollywood Action,’ every member sings the line ‘Everybody, Hollywood Action’ except Sungho. That phrase repeats so many times, and they couldn’t give him even one? There are Lee Han, Jaehyun, Riwoo, Woonhak, Taesan — yet only Sungho never sings it. How can anyone say this isn’t a problem?”
@qodbxnz: “Who came up with that psycho ‘each member tries the part and the best fit gets it’ system? So you’re telling me our Sungho tried all those chorus parts and got cut from every single one? No wonder he said in recordings he felt like his voice didn’t belong — what kind of nonsense is that, KQZ?”
@Tangk0ngg: “‘The most suitable member gets the part’? Fine. But shouldn’t the company at least make sure the distribution is fair?”
