AHOF's Cha Woongki Directly Addresses Bullying Allegations During Livestream
AHOF Member Responds to Viral Rumors
Interpersonal conflicts within K-pop groups can significantly impact not only the idols involved but their entire team. When allegations of bullying surface—whether true or false—they often result in severe consequences, including member departures and widespread criticism directed at the group.
AHOF's Cha Woongki recently took a proactive approach by personally addressing rumors about his relationship with fellow member Juwon during a live broadcast on November 23.
Woongki's Background in the Industry
Though AHOF is considered a fifth-generation group having debuted in 2025, Woongki has extensive experience in the entertainment industry. His career timeline includes:
- Debuting with TOO (later rebranded as TO1) in 2020
- Departing from the group and competing on Boys Planet
- Returning to acting before joining Universe League
- Securing a spot in AHOF's final lineup, which debuted in July 2025
Confronting the Allegations Head-On
During the livestream, Woongki noticed an English comment claiming he was trending on social media platform X for allegedly bullying Juwon. Rather than ignoring the accusation, he addressed it directly with a laugh, firmly denying the claim.
"I love Juwon so so so so so so much and I know he loves me too. So please don't make any bad stuffs between us. We're so good. All of us are so good," Woongki stated, emphasizing the strong bond between group members.

Fan Reactions and Support
The idol's candid response earned praise from fans who appreciated his courage in confronting false narratives. Many supporters also criticized those who perpetuated the rumors in the first place, calling attention to the harmful effects of spreading unverified information about idol relationships.
Fans expressed concern about bringing such sensitive issues to an idol's attention during what should be an enjoyable interaction with supporters. The incident highlights ongoing challenges K-pop idols face regarding malicious speculation about their personal relationships and group dynamics.
This direct approach to addressing controversies reflects a growing trend of idols taking control of their own narratives rather than allowing rumors to circulate unchecked.
