Netizens are expressing their concerns about RIIZE's image following the recent scandal involving member Seunghan.
A netizen on Nate Pann shared their thoughts on the matter, stating that the group was already facing criticism even before their debut due to Seunghan and another member named Sohee.
However, their song "Get a Guitar" went viral and successfully impressed the public. Unfortunately, their image was negatively impacted again with the release of "Talk Sexy" and the controversy surrounding a challenge with BJs.
The netizen expressed sympathy for the other members, particularly Wonbin who made a mistake using slang but was simply being honest.
They also felt sad for SungSho (Sungchan and Shotaro), who had high expectations for their re-debut.
According to the netizen, RIIZE has a lot of potential to succeed, but the controversial members are damaging the group's image and resulting in a lack of support from fans. The netizen questioned what the other members should do in this situation.
They also mentioned that in their class, many students and even their homeroom teacher liked RIIZE, and non-fans were even learning the "Get a Guitar" choreography. Despite the controversy, the netizen believed there are still many good members in the group, and it's unfortunate that the actions of a few are tarnishing their reputation.
Other netizens joined the discussion, some mentioning how the challenge with BJ incident was serious and comparing it to other incidents involving other artists. There were also comments expressing support for specific members like Sungchan and suggestions for the group's future direction in terms of song choices.
One netizen felt that Seunghan should leave the group to prevent further damage to their image, while another urged the group to consider the well-being of members like Sungchan and Shotaro and not let them suffer further.
