On June 26, unauthorized videos and voice clips of the duo began circulating online. They're allegedly recorded during private moments abroad. One audio clip even appears to capture a lakeside conversation, sparking fears of stalking and hidden cameras. Fans are furious, calling it a serious invasion of privacy. The incident follows an earlier break-in attempt at Jungkook's home. Now, ARMYs are demanding HYBE take legal action and boost the duo's security overseas. Meanwhile, sightings of the duo in Switzerland and Europe have fueled rumors that they're filming Season 2 of Are You Sure? But the excitement is now overshadowed by growing concern for their safety. THE BOYZ confirm comeback and World Tour after Ju exit THE BOYZ is officially set to make their comeback in mid-July with a new album. This marks their first return since Ju Haknyeon's controversial exit. The group will promote as a nine-member team. Soon after, the group will embark on THE BLAZE world tour, starting August 8 in Seoul, with stops across Asia. The announcement follows Sangyeon's military enlistment and Ju's removal after a scandal involving an AV actress. Fans are currently divided. Some are supporting the group's decision to continue, while others have criticized the agency's handling of the situation. Despite the debate, the comeback is still going ahead.
