• RIIZE members Sungchan and Shotaro had the most iconic reaction to a 'bra' being thrown on stage

    RIIZE members are currently making waves on their international fan-con tour, with the latest stop being in Mexico City on May 15.

    The event already gained significant attention due to the fans' heartwarming "RIIZE is seven" chant. However, another moment from the concert is now going viral for a completely different reason.

    During a segment where the members were interacting with the audience, a fan decided to throw a bra onto the stage.

    The members' reactions were a mix of shock and amusement. Eunseok, in particular, looked visibly embarrassed and shy, causing fans to burst into laughter.

    Translation: "It was so funny… A fan threw what looked like a bra and Song Eunseok became so shy…."

    Other members like Sungchan and Shotaro had more pronounced reactions to the unexpected gift. Sungchan's reaction was especially noticeable, with a range of expressions crossing his face!

    While some fans found the incident entertaining and harmless, others thought it was inappropriate and disrespectful towards RIIZE's members. They felt that the act made the members visibly uncomfortable.

    Netizens had a lot to say about the incident:

    "I never understood why this became something normal at concerts in the West."

    "It's fine if it's a certain type of concert but K-pop? That's just weird and wrong, there are kids here."

    "Why are fans acting like animals at a concert? How embarrassing."

    "Why would someone even do that……it's obviously going to make them uncomfortable. If you want to do this type of thing, go see Jay Park or something."

    "I really think bra throwing is weird behavior, especially when you know what Korean culture is like, even if it's more generally accepted in your own culture. But Eunseok trying not to laugh and Sungchan being mortified is hilarious."

    "I saw posts about this on Instiz earlier and Sungchan's hilarious facial expressions after noticing it made me laugh. You can literally see 5 different emotions on his face lol."

    "Why do fans even throw their bras or anything on the stage? Like you guys are just plain crazy. Like there was a mother putting her kid on stage during an Nmixx concert. Fans are getting crazier by the day. Instead of enjoying the concert, they throw things at them and sometimes even hit them."

    "Would it be considered ok if it was male fans throwing their underwear at female idols?"

    What are your thoughts?

    BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

    On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

    Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
