[Edit 😞] WELCOME BACK SEUNGHANNN!!!! 🥳
🕑 Added 2024-10-11 01:53:11 +0000 UTC[Oct 13] Gah I’m not in the right mental state for the update that he’s now permanently leaving. Yes if you haven’t seen the news, SM reversed their decision. I had a bad feeling when ot6 KBriize were doing so much. Funeral wreaths for a 21 year old is INSANITY. I hope he has proper mental health support during this time.
I’m taking a break from reacting to RIIZE. I know it’s been kinda slow after the fancon anyway. But I think from one of those quarterly charts, there’s supposed to be a new single. I’ll resume their content for their year end stages since I’m gonna be covering multiple groups anyway.

All of my excitement were sucked out of me. 10 months of fighting for him lost to what? 2 days of loud minority? SM did absolutely nothing to protect him. I heard that even now, those wreaths are still in place. SM has no backbone to retract their statement after only 2-3 days, clowns. I can't believe that SM made this decision so soon and while the members were away, and I can't help but think that they pressured him into leaving. I just hope Seunghan has people by his side during this traumatic and most difficult time.

Until this day, I still don't understand why the k-netizens are so furious over Seunghan's case, so I was flabbergasted to see them sending threats, funeral flowers, etc. to SM to pressure them. Especially when I can see that so many international fans support his returning, I don't get why it has to happen this way, i feel so bad for Seunghan and all of the members :(

I woke up and this news was the first thing I saw. It hurts so much because it appears that SM made us hope. We waited for 10 months and then we were made happy for two days, suddenly it will be taken back. it's very impossible that they didn't expect a backlash from other fans. They should have upheld the first announcement. 😭😭😭 Who wants to come let's burn SM. 🤬
Holly
I don’t know where else to post and I feel safe here so here it is: Seunghan deserves so much better and I can’t even imagine where his head space is…I honestly hope he leaves SM and takes time to heal, the poor soul 😭 I feel horrible for the Riize members, they wanted him back, sounds like the only reason he decide to come back was the members 😭 I can’t even imagine how they feel knowing their “fans” actually don’t respect them and they will have to perform knowing it 😭 SM is trash, I honestly want them to burn, no care for any idols ever. I feel like I can’t do this anymore…god those poor young boys, they all deserve better, especially seunghan 😭

I love this group so much and I thought this is the perfect group ever exited for me to stan them till the end from predebut. Yes, I was so excited when this group started to upload pictures of them in Instagram. I waited daily like it's my daily dose of pill for my happiness. Now, I am so exhausted how SM is handling this and how I am losing my absolute favourite group. I love all of them so much, it really hurts to see them like this. I am taking a break from Riize and I hope remaining members stay strong. Seughan please be strong.

I'm just a casual listener to Riize but I felt so bad about what happened. It's just too cruel and evil to crush a young boy's career like that. SM let the bullies win unfortunately. I wish him well and i hope to see him still pursue his dream elsewhere.
ciara morris
truly! i wouldn’t be mad at them for hating their fans honestly. i’m sure they know it’s not everyone but it’s hard to separate the good from bad when the bad is winning.

I was like many of us, was very happy to see him coming back and finally heard from him after more than 10 months. And today everything burned down to ashes. Witnessing a successful mass cyber bullying in real time makes my heart heavy and devastated, I can’t imagine what Seunghan must have felt right now. I hope this decision is ultimately best for his mental health. His happiness is all I wish for. I will manifest and wait for his solo debut. Who’s with me :) ? I think I will continue to listen to Riize and support them in some ways or forms, because the boys did absolutely nothing wrong and their music still slaps. Just very unfortunately that they have too many immature and toxic and deranged sasaeng fans in the fanbase, and that destroys the group.
seth james
just saw the airport pics. omg 😞😞 congrats to ot6 kbriize- yall made your faves miserable and they’ll hate u secretly forever
ciara morris
no bc the funeral wreaths were fucking CRAZY LIKE WTF?? and i’m pretty sure there’s a video of him walking past them, that’s actually sickening. kfans are literally insane. i hope his mental health is okay. pics of the other members at the airport were posted today and they looked miserable i feel so bad for all of them.
JSS
It must be hard for Seunghan to walk away from something that he loves as it no longer gives him peace. This is heartbreaking… I hope he finds peace for himself.
Taeminara
It just seems so Immature!!! I would never expect that they didn't consider that reaction at the beginning....
seth james
oooof if they fuck with eunseok too I AM DONE FR
Taeminara
Agree, I would hate my own fans so much if i was in their shoes, and I would leave that company too or go on hiatus
Taeminara
They dear to call themselves smtownglobal !!!!!GLOBAL!!!!!!
Pumpkin
Yes! That is so true. They should have protected him and the whole group. Guess what, I read somewhere that some knetz are spreading rumors about Eunseok! It’s so crazy!! What in the hell they wanted to do with Riize 😩
seth james
right?? sm should’ve foreseen the k-reaction and stood their ground on their decision. this just screams to me that sm doesn’t know wtf they are doing. at all.
camila Valdez
I’m just so hurt rn, I can’t stomach the thought of watching something of theirs at this point and i don’t know how much time it’ll take. I love them with all of my heart but I loved them so much as as 7. I will always cheer for them but is just so difficult. I just need a break. Seunghan, I just hope that you have all the support rn and I wish a life full of happiness in any way 🫂🤍
sanitizerr
i agree.. i cant imagine how the members feel about their fans ruining their bestfriend’s career
Pumpkin
This is so sad Jeff. I don’t know what to feel ☹️ I never got so invested with groups except Riize but being a Briize is hella craazzzy!! I also had bad a feeling because of how the OT6 stan reacts but never knew we will come to this. SM should have done something but no, they let the crazy fans win. I just wish nothing but the best to Seunghan. I pray for his happiness and success in his life. He don’t deserve this. ☹️
sanitizerr
like i will support the members by listening to their songs here and there but i wont be too invested anymore such as contents and shows because it hurtss seeing ur bias go through those shitt and it is NOT GIVINGGG..
안치누나 - anchinoona
The photo at the airport today totally break my heart... they are not FINE and the fact that Seunghan has to make this decision alone while the members are away is so cruel... not to mention he witness those fcking wreath himself... I' very concerned for his mental health... no one should ever be putting under this situation 😭
sanitizerr
NOO FRRR…. likee ughh💀
morin
it just sinked in to me right now and it hurts so bad 😭 i feel bad for the other members and i am hurting for seunghan knowing that he saw all of it 😢 i don’t even know if i can watch riize content knowing they snatched us rii7e, i think i will also stop watching riize for now and let myself heal until i can watch them again
seth james
it’s even worse that wonbin himself asked for support and kbriize ot6 were like nope! 😩😩
Sara
I’m so fucking mad I can’t even see Riize rn. I’ll leave Riize. SM needs a reality check, they can’t keep spoiling kfans, disrespect their own artists and disregard the BIGGER international fandom they have and get away with it. If they want to do that, they should keep Riize domestic. I can’t even imagine how the other members feel rn. Their company didn’t care the slightest about them, respect them nor defend them. Their Korean fandom will bully them to death if they did any small mistake (not even a mistake), they don’t care if it was their decision to bring him back (some said it doesn’t matter we are the ones paying money…), and lastly, the company DOES NOT have their backs. I would never be able to be performing in front of such fans. Neither will I be a part of it. ATP I feel like Riize should just disband. Their “fans” and company doesn’t deserve them. They deserve way better, just like Seunghan.
seth james
from what i’ve seen in the last 4 years of being a kpop stan, companies always succumb to kfans. and they want success overseas?? HA-HA. i’m so mad
jess
ugh… seeing all of this unravel within days is INSANE. i’m so disappointed in the ot6 fans who practically bullied him out of the group and sending those funeral wreaths was PSYCHOTIC. i feel so awful for Seunghan like he did NOTHING wrong.
sanitizerr
The fact that SM only listened to Knetz and did not consider the efforts and joyful moments of other fans especiialy internationalf and OT7 fans just doesnt sit right with me.. i’m too tired of this shitt.. im sorry for ranting but im unstanning riize… maybe for just a moment… idkkk.. i also need a break from the toxicity when after the announcement 2 days ago all could’ve been just peace and love…
안치누나 - anchinoona
I can't even look at the member's face right now... I feel so lost... feel like I couldn't do anything to protect them at all, not RIIZE 7, not Seunghan... I feel so lost right now... more than that I can't even imagine how devastate the boys would feel... the damage was done by the one who called themselves "BRIIZE" and especially from their own country... I can't even... I'm sorry for ranting but... I totally understand if you'll fade away for sometime... me too... need to take a break
morin
F/CK SM WTF WE LOST HIM AGAIN
Mimi
It's a sad day but I'll continue to support Riize.. they have been through a lot in just a year and if I leave I would feel bad cause they lost a friend and their support
Taeminara
We lost him again 😭😭😭😭 sorry but I'm not stanning RIIZE ever again... i know it's not fair for the other 6 but it's not fair for fans and for Seunghan too.... SM doesn't have a back bone....

Shana

Taeminara

stormizz91

Preslee Johnson

Martha

Neeko
I'm so glad they made a decision and a GOOD ONE because the push and pull of emotions for everyone (Seunghan, RIIZE, the company, the fans) for the last year was so unsettling. And now Shotaro's not the only F in the group again 🧡🧡
Bruklyn W.
