One commenter even pointed out a previous sports day event where all RIIZE members wore the same taekwondo shoes and stood side by side, clearly showing height differences. Despite this, the height debate continues, leading to exasperation among some fans.
- “I reckon [his shoes are] 7cm.”
- “If someone is short, just say they’re short. What else can you say…”
- “His height is really questionable.”
- “There was a sports day event where all the members wore the same taekwondo shoes and stood straight in a front view shot, clearly showing the actual height difference, but people still keep stirring up trouble about his height. It’s so frustrating. If you have eye problems, see an eye doctor. To those obsessing over Wonbin’s height and criticizing him, do you have nothing better to do? Why are you always bashing other members?”
- “He’s using shoe lifts, and you’re bringing up Sohee.”
- “Here comes another delusional person trying to deny the rumors. How can you look at his height in just slippers and think he’s not 170cm?”
