THE BOYZ’s Kevin called out K.FLEX 2023 in a recent live broadcast, revealing that despite the festival’s advertisements, the group will not be able to perform in October as previously announced. Kevin expressed concern for fans who may have made accommodations and travel plans expecting to see THE BOYZ, risking potential backlash to save fans time and money. The video clip from Kevin’s broadcast went viral, leading K.FLEX to delete social media posts featuring THE BOYZ, although the group is still listed on the festival’s website. Even before Kevin’s broadcast, a fan had shared that Kevin had personally informed her that THE BOYZ would not be at K.FLEX 2023 in October.
K.FLEX 2023 has made an announcement via social media stating that they are still in discussions regarding THE BOYZ’s participation in the festival. The event, self-identified as “Europe’s first ever K-pop mega festival,” is scheduled to take place in Frankfurt, Germany, on October 13-14 after being rescheduled from June. The festival initially advertised performances by THE BOYZ, Weeekly, and YOUNITE. Fans are advised to wait for further updates to see if THE BOYZ will indeed be part of the lineup. Only time will tell if the group will be part of K.FLEX 2023 despite the recent revelations.
