“RIIZE is 7 Forever,” Japanese fans support Seunghan with protest trucks.
Seunghan supporters from Japan gathered with protest trucks.
Just months after his RIIZE debut, Seunghan was embroiled in personal scandals.
When images of Seunghan and his then-girlfriend visiting a hotel surfaced online, the scandal began. Following the hotel debacle, a private social media live-streaming video and footage of the idol smoking on the streets were published, severely tarnishing Seunghan.
SM Entertainment announced an indefinite hiatus for Seunghan as the debate and fan unhappiness grew. Netizens assumed Seunghan was ousted from SM Entertainment after their announcement. After seeing Seunghan’s name and image removed from the group’s latest promotions, this rumor spread. Furthermore, RIIZE’s six-member committee has been actively engaged.
Thus, Seunghan’s Japanese admirers brought new protest vehicles to support him. These fans sent a truck to SM Entertainment’s offices on December 21 with the statement, “We are waiting for Seunghan to return,” “RIIZE is 7 Forever,” “Seunghan is our first star wherever he is,” “Please be well and let’s meet at Tokyo Dome,” and “Let’s see pretty things and be joyful with us. We adore Seunghan.
