SM Rookies’ Team Development Leader Shares Pre-Debut Photos Of RIIZE’s Members
It’s always interesting to see what a K-Pop idol looked like prior to their debut, from cute baby pictures to relatably awkward school photos and glimpses of their trainee life. Since RIIZE only debuted a couple of months ago, we haven’t had that many pre-debut images of the members yet, but recently, a staff member at SM Entertainment gave a small look at some of their pre-debut visuals!
The staff member is allegedly a team leader for the company’s trainee group, SM Rookies, and the pictures they shared show a look at some of the work that was done for RIIZE prior to their debut in September 2023. Perhaps most notably, Wonbin and Sohee can be seen with drastically different hairstyles than they have now, and both of them look amazing!
Fans also think that Anton looks less built than he does now, but no less handsome.
Some of the shared screenshots are a little more ambiguous and don’t show as much of RIIZE’s members, but are still interesting to see.
This picture has fans begging for SM to release Sohee’s cover of “When I Was Your Man” by Bruno Mars.
One of the images even shows pictures of NCT New Team‘s members Yushi and Sion!
Here’s how people are reacting to this rare behind-the-scenes glimpse at RIIZE’s members before they were idols.
It’ll be interesting to see if SM Entertainment ends up changing some of RIIZE’s styling to look more like these pictures!
