- “IST, you guys worked hard too.”
- “I was thankful for IST all this time.”

Conversely, international fans, particularly on platforms such as X (formerly Twitter), voiced their discontent regarding IST Entertainment’s management of THE BOYZ, arguing that the group’s musical quality had suffered in recent years. Comments reflecting this sentiment included:
