• International fans Respond to RIIZE member Sungchan's Decision to Avoid Contact with Seunghan Following Controversy

    During RIIZE's recent performance, fans and netizens noticed an unusual detail amidst Seunghan's scandal. Despite the original choreography calling for it, Sungchan did not do the hand slap with Seunghan.

    Adding to their observations, fans also pointed out that Sungchan appeared tired and sad throughout the performance.

    These observations were made on Nate Pann and sparked a response from other netizens. Some netizens commented that it would still be convincing if Sungchan performed the hand slap with his feet during their performance of "Get A Guitar."

    Others defended Sungchan, urging people not to beat him up and to leave him alone. One netizen found the situation humorous, stating that it was the funniest thing they had ever seen.

    They acknowledged that Sungchan is not someone who would intentionally deviate from the choreography, but even if he did, it wouldn't matter to them. Another netizen reflected on the mood within the group before NCT 2021 promotions, explaining that the presence of Rookies members had already ruined the atmosphere.

    They expressed dismay at Sungchan having to encounter someone like Seunghan and questioned how he could not get angry.

    In a lighthearted tone, a netizen directed a message to Seunghan, asking them to please leave the group if they noticed Sungchan's absence in the hand slap.

    Another netizen humorously suggested that if they were in Sungchan's position, they would have been sent to detention for assault.
