[Star Daily News=Reporter Jong Sang-Hoon] The ‘2025 BTOB New Year’s Party’ video released by BTOB Company has sparked controversy among fans.
Some fans expressed disappointment, questioning whether there is favoritism among the members.
On the 12th, BTOB Company released a video through their official YouTube channel where BTOB’s six members (Seo Eunkwang, Lee Minhyuk, Lee Changsub, Lim Hyunsik, Peniel, Yook Sungjae) are seen having a conversation to welcome the new year. However, during the video, while mentioning past concert schedule overlaps, certain members’ statements were emphasized in specific ways, leading to mixed reactions from fans.
BTOB Label is a label established by DOD, with BTOB members Seo Eunkwang, Lee Minhyuk, Lim Hyunsik, and Peniel belonging to it. Meanwhile, Lee Changsub is with Fantagio, and Yook Sungjae is active with I Will Media. As a member concert from BTOB Label held on December 28-29 overlapped with Lee Changsub’s solo performance, fans pointed out the lack of communication between agencies as an issue.

In the video, Lee Changsub mentioned, “Let’s work hard to communicate so our activities don’t overlap,” to which Lim Hyunsik and Seo Eunkwang replied, “Since we are under different companies, it can’t be helped.” During this process, Lee Changsub’s statement, “It would be okay even if they overlapped,” was highlighted in red text, sparking backlash from fans. Some fans reacted, suggesting “The agency seems to be using the members to quell fan reactions,” and “There appears to be an intent to justify the failure in concert schedule coordination.”
Meanwhile, when Lee Changsub asked “When shall we do a full group activity?” in the video, Yook Sungjae replied “We need to proceed as a six-member BTOB soon.” By the end of the conversation, the members agreed to perform full group activities by early next year at the latest.
Fans showed excitement over the full group activity news, yet some expressed disappointment, noting “BTOB Company seems unenthusiastic about full group activities.” Fans continue to call for fair treatment among members and smooth inter-agency communication, maintaining interest in future activities.
