The disputed comment, heard in the background of the video (0:04-0:05), led some fans to believe that Sangyeon used the slang term "sakkasi” associated with oral sex.

However, the absence of any female staff or personnel during filming raised doubts about the authenticity of the accusations, suggesting the possibility of a misunderstanding blown out of proportion.

The idol's straightforward response left fans in anticipation for more clarity.

To further support his explanation, a dedicated fan slowed down the video and claimed that The Boyz Sangyeon actually said, "살빠지겠다" (salbbajigessta), meaning, "I am going to lose weight."

Considering the context of the practice video, where The Boyz was diligently rehearsing multiple songs for their world tour, this interpretation seemed to align perfectly.
