In Antwerp for a Music Bank filming session, RIIZE found themselves in the midst of both excitement and controversy. As the group engaged in filming social media content in a public setting, their fans flocked to the scene, eager to catch a glimpse of their beloved idols in action. Amidst the crowd, one particularly vocal fan seized the moment to shout, “RIIZE is 7”.
However, this seemingly innocuous declaration quickly stirred deeper tensions among the fanbase. As the filming continued, other fans took to the streets in protest, brandishing signs demanding the return of Seunghan, whose absence from the group had sparked considerable debate. Seunghan‘s hiatus, initiated in the wake of personal controversies, had left a void in RIIZE’s lineup.
While the news of protest might have elicited jubilation from international fans, who saw it as an opportunity for their voices to be heard by management, the response from Korean netizens was markedly different. Many expressed disappointment and disapproval at the manner in which the fans chose to voice their concerns, labeling their actions as rude and inappropriate. Instead, they urged for a more measured approach, emphasizing the importance of respecting boundaries and allowing the management to handle the situation with due diligence.
