The Boyz Kevin launches a scathing critique of ‘K-pop’···even ‘targeting rumors’ toward Le Sserafim - 스포츠경향

According to Sports Kyunghyang’s August 31, 2026 report, THE BOYZ member Kevin posted on SNS on August 29, 2026 criticizing K-pop’s appropriation of Black and queer cultures and the industry’s creative environment. He wrote lines such as “we had drag queens perform” and “now we do house,” questioning where genuine recognition and celebration are, but did not name any group or agency; some fans nevertheless interpreted his remarks as aimed at LE SSERAFIM because their past activities (EDM/house with 2024’s “CRAZY” and a music video featuring drag artists in 2025) overlap with his examples. Kevin is scheduled to release his solo album FREECHILD on September 2, 2026.
