Fans of Seunghan, a former member of RIIZE have intensified their protest efforts following his recent departure.
The controversy began when SM Entertainment announced Seunghan would rejoin RIIZE for future activities after a nearly a year-long hiatus. However, backlash from certain fan groups led to his withdrawal just days later, causing a significant divide among the fanbase.
In response, Seunghan's supporters overseas initiated a boycott of RIIZE merchandise, placing stickers labeled "RIIZE is 7" on various RIIZE merchandise at stores.
One netizen explained, "They are reportedly putting the stickers not only on RIIZE albums but also on albums of other artists currently on sale."
After hearing this latest update, Korean netizens gathered in a popular online community to share their opinions. Many pointed out that these fans are crossing the line by putting stickers on merchandise sold in stores.
Korean netizens commented:
"Why are they damaging other artists' albums, not just RIIZE's? They're really going overboard with this nonsense."
"Isn't this destruction of property?"
"Seunghan's fans probably don't even have enough power to pull this off, and most of them are likely just outsiders enjoying hating on SM. I doubt they'd even buy his solo album when it comes out."
"Isn't this property damage?"
"I mean, how much do they really know about Seunghan to be going this far?"
"Honestly, I'm so glad his return was canceled."
"They can’t even boycott properly since they don't buy anything in the first place, so they're acting like this."
"The more they act like this, I'm glad he left the group."
"This is amazing... not in a good way."
"RIIZE fans congrats. I'm glad he left the group."
"These fans are making it worse for Seunghan. Ruining his image more."
"I'm getting tired of these fans."
"These fans are crazy."
