5th Gen Idol Faces Backlash After Giving Sister Money to Support Rival Idol
BOYNEXTDOOR’s Taesan is winning hearts as the ultimate older brother in 2026!
On the June 11 episode of Mini Pinggyego, a spin-off of Yoo Jae Suk’s popular YouTube talk show Pinggyego, Taesan appeared alongside members Woonhak and Jaehyun. During the chat, Taesan revealed a surprising secret: he’s been spending his own money on another idol group’s merch, albums, and birthday cafes—all because of his little sister.
Instead of using the funds for herself, Taesan’s sister is a dedicated fan of an idol from a different group, even from the same generation as BOYNEXTDOOR. She wanted to attend that idol’s concert, and Taesan didn’t hesitate to pay for it.
Fans quickly reacted to the story, praising Taesan for being a caring and generous brother. Others are curious to find out who the mystery idol is.

“I think I remember him saying he’s friends with some of the members too so you can narrow the guesses like that”
