BOYS24 member Lee Hwayoung has been removed from the group. The singer had come under fire for making harsh comments about fans.
The backlash started Hwayoung's rumoured former girlfriend uploaded a voice recording of him slamming fans. He allegedly said: "I like being called 'oppa.' Not by fans though. That's f**king s**tty.

Seriously, their breaths smell like crap."
