These negative remarks called out The Boyz members for doing the dance challenge with a woman, and that they're having "pseudo-relationships" as their selling point. They also stated how these types of contents would make fans quit the fandom. The comments are as follows:

•  "If you're going to be a male idol whose selling point is your pseudo-relationships, you should reject those challenges."
•  "Here are reasons why it's useless for The Boyz to have dance challenges with women:

1. They'll get dragged into nonsense things.

2. Doing this will not help them promote their songs and fans will not watch these videos. At the end of the day, these kinds of content will just make fans quit the fandom and The Boyz are going to experience a disadvantage."

•  "Oh f**k, they're recording with women now."
•  "This pisses me off."
•  "The first person to do a challenge with you is a woman? Are you joking?"

Meanwhile, some fans called out the rude comments, and claimed that in reality, most of the reactions on Yuri were positive.

The soloist also uploaded a "TAXI" dance challenge with The Boyz members Hyunjae and Q, winning the hearts of fans.

Fans defended:

•  "Look at you making things up. All Deobis liked the "TAXI" challenge on Yuri's account. Nobody is even swearing at Yuri in your post so let's stop."
•  "It's such a cute combo. Hyunjae suits the 'TAXI' challenge perfectly.'
•  'This is such a cute combination, what is this? Yuri, Q, and Hyunjae, we love you!"

•  "I'm happy because all three of them are."

•  "What is this overreaction?"
•  "There's not a single hate comment against the girl, and yet you're deflecting."
•  "Nobody terrorized Yuri on her account, it's just fans are having that pseudo-relationship excuse to complain about The Boyz."
•  "I've seen nothing but good comments."
•  "But where are these hate comments? I'm a fan from another group, but I feel like they're just joking around."
