RIIZE’s Recent Actions Renew Fans’ Hope About Seunghan
Since it was announced that Seunghan would depart from RIIZE, fans in support of the idol have actively made their discontent with SM Entertainment known.
Currently, fans are boycotting all content the group releases and have unexpectedly received the support of many K-Pop stores worldwide. Their efforts have already been seen in the group’s diminished followers on social media platforms.
SM Entertainment recently seemed to partially acknowledge fans’ concerns, releasing statements promising legal action against defamation and malicious activities for both RIIZE and Seunghan.
However, fans felt it was too late and were not appeased by the announcements.
SM Entertainment’s Latest Post About Former RIIZE’s Seunghan Sparks Fury
One source of encouragement to continue efforts has been the members, who seemingly have been affected by Seunghan’s removal. Recently, the group seemed to renew fans hopes with unexpected actions.
On October 17, RIIZE performed at the The BLUE HAPPY FESTIVAL 2024 in Yokohama, Japan.
During the 9 song set, the group performed “Get A Guitar” a song released before Seunghan’s hiatus. During the ending post, fans noticed that the formation seemed slightly different than previous performances.
According to fans, it appeared as though the group left an intentional space for Seunghan, comparing it to the music video.
Fans also compared it to previous performances to show the difference.
