RIIZE Sohee’s Expression At First Public Event Following Seunghan’s Departure From The Group
RIIZE Sohee’s expression at the first public event following Seunghan‘s removal from the group has gained attention.
After it was announced that Seunghan was returning from hiatus, netizens were shocked when, days later, it was announced that the idol would officially leave the group. Many believed it was due to the hate and funeral wreaths that were sent to protest his return to the group.
The news broke following the group’s performance in Madrid and their appearance at the airport left netizens heartbroken.
Fans Heartbroken By RIIZE’s Appearances In Airport Photos Following Seunghan’s Departure
Aside from a fansign event, RIIZE’s first official public appearance was on October 16, as the members attended an event at the Lotte Duty-Free store in Japan.
When videos of the members were posted, netizens noticed Sohee’s expression during the event. Sohee has always had a beautiful smile that has been praised, but fans thought his expression looked forced and dubbed it a “business smile” rather than something genuine. Due to the timing, it wasn’t surprising that some thought the expression was linked to Sohee’s feelings following Seunghan leaving the group.
