K-Pop Idol Allegedly Caught Bad-Mouthing Group Mates In Private Leaked Video 

HORI7ON‘s Kyler is currently in hot water over an allegedly leaked video.

HORI7ON’s Kyler | MLD Entertainment

Hori7on is MLD Entertainment’s all-Filipino K-Pop boy group who debuted in 2023 and was formed through the survival show Dream Maker. The boy group is active in the Philippines and Korea, and most recently returned with the single “Cold.”

Member Kyler, who ranked third overall in the survival show, was recently accused of bad-mouthing members Winston, Marcus, and Jeromy. In a recently surfaced video, Kyler appears to be speaking with a woman while washing dishes.

As they talk, Kyler uses the word kupal, which is a derogatory word with the literal meaning of the build up of dirt and skin when private parts, especially uncircumcised penises, are not correctly washed. In non-medical context, the word is used to describe someone rude and insensitive, with him also using the word tamad, which means lazy.

the audacity of this hypocrite calling his members kupal and tamad. talking behind their back like it's a normal thing for him. kyler chua, you will rot in hell and your karma will come! do us a favor and leave the group. mahiya ka sa sarili mo! @mld_official_ @HORI7ONofficial pic.twitter.com/Tvfixuady4

I’d rather stan someone ‘kupal’ than someone who can't keep his ig account secure and was caught cheating 🙂 https://t.co/ru9ejVEQ5a

Tried checking the quote section and it appears that his fans too, are tired of defending him.

I believed back then that he's still young and just needed some guidance but it turns out that some things cannot be changed. 🙃 https://t.co/zde2shGkLf
