• “They really love him”—Japanese Supporters Rally Behind Seunghan with Protest Trucks, Declaring 'RIIZE is 7 Forever'

    Fans from Japan got together with protest cars to show their support for Seunghan.

    An earlier time, just a few months after his start with RIIZE, Seunghan was involved in a number of problems in his personal life.

    Online leaks of old pictures of Seunghan visiting a hotel with his then-girlfriend caused the first controversy.

    After the hotel scandal, Seunghan was criticized again when a private live-streaming video from social media and video of the star smoking on the street were made public. This added to the problems that already existed with him.

    SM Entertainment finally said that Seunghan would be taking an indefinite break because the debate was getting worse and fans were getting more upset.

    After SM Entertainment made their public announcement, netizens started to think that Seunghan had been kicked out of the group.

    This story spread after it was noticed that Seunghan's name and pictures were missing from the group's most recent promotional materials.

    RIIZE has also been keeping up with their commitments as a six-person group.

    Because of this, Seunghan's Japanese friends sent him new protest trucks to show their support.

    These fans sent a truck to SM Entertainment's main office on December 21 with the words "We are waiting for Seunghan to return." "RIIZE is 7 Forever," "Seunghan is our first star wherever he is," "Seunghan, please stay healthy and let's meet at Tokyo Dome one day," and "Let's just look at pretty things and be happy."

    Say "I love you, Seunghan."
    "Do you guys think Seunghan will return?" asked some Koreans on the Internet.

    Interested " They're so loyal because he just came out not long ago. Saying "Let's meet at Tokyo Dome is hilarious."

    Does it mean the same thing as "Let's meet at Gocheok Sky Dome"?" "If it's SM, there is a possibility that he'll return, no?" ""7 forever" is a really bad saying.

    "That's not possible if they thought about the other people in the group," "I feel bad for him because I don't think what he did was that bad that he had to leave the group," "Even Japanese fans are now sending protest trucks," said. "These protest trucks are always making good business."
