BoA and Jeon Hyun-moo's Surprising Friendship Sparks Controversy

On April 5, Jeon Hyun-moo surprised fans with an impromptu live broadcast on his social media, appearing visibly intoxicated. He referred to it as his 'first live' and was joined by singer BoA, who also seemed to be under the influence, as evidenced by her slurred speech and relaxed demeanor. The duo's candid and unfiltered remarks quickly drew attention, especially when a fan inquired about Jeon Hyun-moo's rumored relationship with comedian Park Na-rae. BoA bluntly stated, 'I don't think they are dating; they can't be.' Jeon Hyun-moo, taken aback, asked, 'Why? Is Park Na-rae not good enough?' to which BoA replied, 'No, I mean you're not good enough.' This comment raised eyebrows, with Jeon Hyun-moo expressing concern over its potential implications. Despite the awkwardness, BoA dismissed any worries, claiming, 'It doesn't matter,' and continued to speak freely during the broadcast, even using profanity. Fans expressed concern that BoA was making inappropriate comments while intoxicated, but Jeon Hyun-moo reassured viewers, stating, 'The important thing is that neither of us is actually drunk. We're just pretending, so don't worry.' Following the broadcast, many netizens criticized the pair for their comments, particularly the comparison involving Park Na-rae, leading to calls for a public apology to her. Previously, BoA had shared her struggles with online negativity, but this incident has drawn criticism for potentially inciting more backlash against her. Both BoA and Jeon Hyun-moo are affiliated with SM Entertainment and SM C&C, respectively, but neither has commented further on the live stream incident.
