SM Entertainment Finally Unveils All Seven Members Of Their New Boy Group, RIIZE
Consisting of seven members, Shotaro, Sungchan, Eunseok, Seunghan, Sohee, Anton, and Wonbin, the group is garnering new fans quickly, with the group’s Instagram page now being followed by 500K fans.
Of the members, Wonbin, who fans are anointing as one of the group’s “visuals,” is going viral for his pre-debut photos.
In a post that has collected over 40K views in two hours (as of this writing), a netizen posted photos of Wonbin during his school days.
In the photos, the idol’s handsome looks are undeniable, but some netizens felt that the idol looked different from his debut photos.
Several netizens alleged the idol had undergone plastic surgery.
- “His eye surgery went very well. Please tell me which hospital he went to, ㅠㅠ.”
- “I am sure he was ‘taken care of’ before his debut. If not, so be it, but isn’t it rarer to find someone who hasn’t had surgery?”
- “Wow, how can someone look so different? Can you tell me (which hospital he went to) too?”
- “Tell me where he got his eye done.”
- “Seriously, someone tell me the hospital he went to.”
Still, many fans defended the idol from plastic surgery allegations, with many stating that the idol’s good looks were evident, even as a child.
- “He looks fine in the pictures, LOL. It’s rare to look good in graduation pictures, period. There are so many people making up plastic surgery allegations and judging his face. You guys are doing too much.”
- “I mean, would plastic surgery turn you into a goddess? The comments here are insane, LOL.”
- “Even with glasses, he looked like someone who would have been popular at school.”
- “He has really thick glasses, but he’s cute even with them on. The pictures are fine.”
- “The comments here, LOL. There are so many haters.”
- “Looking at the comments, you can’t deny their marketability, LOL.”
- “Who cares if he looks different from his past? It’s enough that he is handsome now and is good at his job.”
