BOYNEXTDOOR member Leehan is drawing criticism online for his appearance in a dance challenge video with EPEX’s Baekseung. Netizens have accused him of looking uninterested during the promotional clip for the song “Echo.” The backlash highlights concerns about attitude toward a sunbae artist.
A clip posted by EPEX Official on June 28, 2026, shows Leehan and Baekseung performing the choreography together. Observers noted Baekseung’s bright energy while describing Leehan’s expressions as noticeably less engaged.
The post quickly gained attention on X, where users pointed out the difference in effort compared with other BOYNEXTDOOR challenge videos. Some netizens emphasized that Baekseung debuted in 2021 and is therefore a sunbae to the 2023 group BOYNEXTDOOR.
Comments from fans included remarks such as “I’ve never seen someone look this dead-eyed while doing a sunbae group’s challenge before” and observations that Leehan appeared to lack enthusiasm. The discussion also referenced a prior group controversy involving another BOYNEXTDOOR member.
The criticism centers on perceived courtesy during promotional content rather than technical performance of the dance.
