Wonbin is covering his whole face. Sungchan wanted to run away from the cameras. Shotaro, who is always cheerful and respectful, didn’t even addressed the filmmaker. Sohee CRIED.

the boys look MISERABLE. they aren’t happy with this and if we, as a fandom, don’t do something about it when THEY OBVIOUSLY CAN’T, what are we for?

I DON’T WANT TO LOOSE RIIZE, but the feeling is that I already did. there’s no resemblance of the seven guys who had warm smiles and hearts and wanted to grow together and realize dreams with us.

part of the fandom actually DESTROYED their dream and the other part is giving no fucks about it. we aren’t rise and realizing shit for ages now.

my blood boils thinking that the guys are in the hands of the psychotic bitches that sent funeral wreaths for a 21-year-old and a company that doesn’t care shit about their mental and physical well-being.

not to mention how Sohee and Eunseok are both on their radar now, and they want to attack each and every one of them, bully them until there’s no one. Anton is already being harassed on social media, too. It’s not the next idol who’ll be under attack, it’s OUR IDOLS. the same guys, the same group.

they are overworked, tired and sad. SM didn’t even have the decency to postpone or cancel their schedules.

unfollow riize, boycott sm, unfollow sm official accounts, do not interact with sm official posts, do not stream sm artists' songs, sign the petition, spread the hashtags, and if you really desperately need to buy merchandise, do so secondhand.

sm stocks have been dropping, as well as riize following numbers, this is getting bigger and bigger.

and it's not only about seunghan at this point. this could make a huge difference in the entire kpop industry in terms of harassment, bullying and artist mistreatment.

seunghan was bullied out of riize by antis who call themselves ot6 briize, they sent a thousand funeral wreaths, that were adorned with hateful messages, demands for seunghan to leave the group, and threats of bullying him until he would end his life, to be aligned in front of the sm building for him to see. seunghan had to walk by them, and alone at that, as if attending his own funeral. this is cruel, and i honestly have no words at this point.

sm is known to mistreat their artists, to ignore sasaengs and bullying online (we've seen it with renjun recently), and that is exactly why we need to act. yes this is for seunghan, we want justice for seunghan, but this could have happened to your idol too, and it still can. by removing seunghan from the group, sm showed these bullies that no matter what, as long they are loud and cruel enough, they can destroy any idols life they want.

all he did was have a girlfriend and smoked pre debut, he didn't do anything wrong, yet other, actual criminals, (who shall remain unnamed, i think you all know who i'm referring to) did not receive anything like seunghan did for simply living his life.

As a Briize, I’m now having to miss out on content from my favorite group because of a decision that never should’ve been made in the first place. It’s infuriating, and it’s heartbreaking for Seunghan, who had to endure all of that—practically on his own. SM just stood by and let it happen. They let hateful messages and funeral wreaths go unchecked, as if none of it mattered. Those responsible for that kind of behavior should be held accountable, legally even. No one should be allowed to get away with such cruelty.

And to be clear, Seunghan should never have to debut as a solo artist. He was meant to be with Riize, but he was essentially punished because of a pre-debut relationship. Let’s be real—every idol, unless they’re still 14 years old, has likely had a relationship before debut, whether it's a girlfriend or a boyfriend. The only reason people are so upset about it is because there’s actual proof in the form of pictures. It’s ridiculous that just because he had a girlfriend, he was made to suffer. He was just a normal teenage boy who didn’t deserve any of this.

What SM Entertainment is doing now, trying to fix things by debuting him as a solo artist, is not enough. Seunghan still hasn’t gotten the justice he deserves. I won’t stop boycotting because what happened to him was wrong, and he deserves to be with Riize. He should’ve never been put in this position in the first place.

I know I’m a bit late in speaking up, but I needed some time to really process my thoughts and feelings before posting. IDOLS ARE PEOPLE TOO. They are not just tools for your entertainment. If the idea of an idol being in a relationship truly upsets you, I think it’s time to take a long, hard look at yourself and your values. If that’s how you feel, maybe you should stay single forever, too. You don’t own these idols, and they’re not here to cater to your every whim. It’s exhausting to see so many people forget that they have feelings, too.

Lastly, I’ll say this: PLEASE BOYCOTT RIIZE.
