Seunghan has been the subject of controversy this 2023, putting up a rough patch for both the group and fandom. This fiasco led to the idol going under an indefinite hiatus.
However, many are still confident that RIIZE will always be a seven-membered group. With their love for RIIZE, many fans still consider Seunghan to be part of the band and still expressed their support for the idol many times despite his absence.
In an online community, netizens discussed the truck sent by Japanese BRIIZEs. The truck stormed the front of the SM Entertainment building, which sent out encouraging messages to Seunghan. This gained attention among the BRIIZE fandom, who approved of their warm actions.
The author uploaded a Tweet from a Japanese stan account for Seunghan, relaying the details for the truck schedule and its purpose to let the idol know that he's loved by BRIIZEs.
"As I have said from the beginning, this project has no intention of criticizing SM Entertainment or attacking anyone else."
"This event will be held to let Seunghan know that he is loved by his fans. We would appreciate your understanding once again."
- "No matter where Seunghan is, he will always be our first star."
- "Seunghan-ah, please be healthy, let's meet at Tokyo Dome someday."
- "We are waiting for Seunghan's return."
- "Just look at the pretty things and let's be happy together. We love you, Seunghan-ah."
BRIIZEs React to Support Truck for Seunghan
Both domestic and international fans reacted to the support trucks and were warmed to see Seunghan still getting love from the community. Some expressed sadness over his absence during RIIZE's pivotal moments in award shows. Read their comments below:
- "I like that we're seeing more trucks supporting him."
- "I pity him, they won the rookie award, and he was the only one not there to receive it."
- "I wish he could just promote solo."
- "I honestly don't think he did anything that deserves to be kicked out for, I feel bad."
- "I think if the fans just stay silent while he's on hiatus, SM will think that he's not needed anymore in the group."
- "This 'think about the other members' narrative is so obnoxious because the members clearly want him back. At the very least Shotaro, Wonbin, Eunseok, and Anton do."
- "BRIIZEs are getting more dedicated and supportive to him every day and to think that he's not the most popular prior to the hiatus is actually a surprise."
