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.

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?"

Seo Ye Ji is facing major backlash after her surprising appearance on SNL Korea 7.

On April 12, Seo Ye Ji made her long-awaited return to variety shows by guest-starring on Coupang Play's SNL Korea Season 7.

Before the show started, she made jaws drop by joking, "I'll gaslight the SNL crew and make it fun," referencing her own past controversies.

During the "Seo Ye GPT" segment, Seo Ye Ji played an AI that helped Kim Won Hoon nail a company presentation. She then made a sharp comment, saying, "The truly embarrassing thing is sitting quietly and being talked about behind your back. I've experienced that a lot," hinting at the criticism she’s faced.

In the "Eve Hair Salon" skit, Seo Ye Ji acted as a salon director and joked about her past "Kim Ddak Ddak" scandal, where she was accused of controlling her then-boyfriend Kim Jung Hyun. When a character mentioned her stiff neck, she responded, "It's firm," making everyone laugh but also stirring mixed feelings.

Fans were shocked to see Seo Ye Ji using her past scandals as comedy material, especially since it’s been eight years since her last variety show appearance. Many pointed out that joking about serious accusations like gaslighting and academic fraud might have gone too far.

The controversy over Seo Ye Ji’s education also came back into the spotlight. She had previously claimed she studied abroad in Spain, but in 2021 it was revealed she never actually attended the university she mentioned.

Her agency explained she was accepted but didn’t attend because of her career in Korea, but many netizens weren’t convinced.

On SNL Korea, Seo Ye Ji even played a character who lied about her past to impress a boyfriend, making fans think of her real-life academic background scandal.

After the episode aired, reactions online exploded. Some comments included, "Falsifying academic background is a crime," "This was too much," "It was funny though," "Let’s forgive it since it’s black comedy," and "Why was Seo Ye Ji the first guest?"

Seo Ye Ji’s bold jokes have definitely split public opinion, with some calling it brave and others saying it only reopened old wounds.
