The fact in this world exists people who BUY one thousand of funeral wreaths only for hurt and damage an innocent person… just make me sick

[@percy_coro_cos]

Yeah right. And then it's not even for A CONVICTED CRIMINAL but an innocent kid... South Korea is truly such a messed up country.

[@Jay-sl1pf]

It's all so.. insane. This isn't a simple matter of another mistreatment of an idol, this is a reflection of how much the toxic fandom culture in Korea has affected the whole country. The hate is so imbalanced aswell. *SIGH* I never knew it was possible for me to respect a group that I haven't even learned the members' names of as much as I do but here we are. I fully stand with Riize.

[@percy_coro_cos]

You're absolutely right. This has spread to national and international news and one of the reporters put it perfectly by explaining how companies push idols to be perfect, not their best. And that's what they market to fans. So the people who already don't view idols as humans but rather dolls they can play with just get fed by companies when idols have to apologize for dating or even things they never did (especially SM is so good at that). It's super dangerous and as we saw can easily lead to tragedy. This entire mindset needs to change.

[@nneichan9353]

Kpop fans did this kid wrong. he had a normal life before debut, so what. shame on them. I guess K-Netizens were the real problem. get Seunghan to a better company. Shame on SM for not sticking with him and giving him support. The funeral wreaths are a threat and the senders need to be prosecuted for at a minimum harassment, and even better for making death threats. They need a hefty fine. It is the intentional infliction of severe emotional distress.

[@percy_coro_cos]

Exactly. Like I can't fathom how SM is not suing them for death threats and harassment... But at the end of the day I don't want Seunghan to go solo. Riize is his dream, he's said that multiple times. The members want to be 7. It's truly Rii7e or nothing. I hope the boycott does enough damage that either SM brings him back and treats them well or that they pull a Loona and become a group under a different label.

[@JBeechem]

I’ve been thinking that like SM why ain’t y’all doing anything about this? All SM is doing is just sitting on their hands and not doing anything about it and this cycle of toxic parasocial fan behavior will keeps happening again and again and again and again and again and again and again and it won’t stop until change happens

[@percy_coro_cos]

They don't do anything bc they'd literally do anything to keep the money flowing. Ofc that's how capitalism works but SM (and also Hybe) are being inhumane about it. They're based in Korea so ofc their Korean fans are most important to them but if they don't want to listen to us global fans, then they also shouldn't receive our money. And that's why the boycott is so important. The only way SM will listen to us is if we make their pockets hurt unfortunately. They truly do not care about anything else.

[@reginaglover6721]

I agree! SM staged the whole thing and played in everyone faces. I saw the airport pictures and it hurt seeing them like that. SM and ot6 psychos and people that participated in the funeral wreath outside of SM entertainment building can all go to hell.

[@percy_coro_cos]

Absolutely. The worst part is OT6ers said the members looked all sad like this... They're genuinely psychotic. I'm about to fly over there and do some damage man...

[@choi-t7y]

@@percy_coro_cos thats so true imagine how the group feels now knowing that some of their fans are the reason that seunghan left

[@percy_coro_cos]

Literally and now they're coming after Wonbin and Sungchan like girl atp make it OT0... But yeah it must be so scary to promote in Korea and knowing that a majority of these "fans" sent your brother death threats...

[@SpringNotes]

​@@percy_coro_coswhy Sungchan ? Did he speak up on this ?

[@percy_coro_cos]

@SpringNotes no he didn't do anything but he's the most clearly pissed member so Ot6ers are turning against him. Wonbin as well bc of his letter, they're absolutely ridiculous

[@graciousmarwisa9496]

I love how every fandom has come to his defence and see the issue here yet sm ignores, then I found out that his return was announced when the Riize members weren’t even in sk because of activities which is even WORSE so he had to go through all of that alone whereas I honestly feel like if he had them there with him he would’ve thought it over more because they’d never blame him, but honestly I don’t blame him for leaving because wtaf !??

[@percy_coro_cos]

Yeah I don't blame him either I literally cannot imagine how that must have torn his mental health to pieces. This situation is so serious and I'm glad to see all the fandoms unite. I mean NewJeans' Hanni was just in court speaking up about the missing human rights idols face. This is a problem for every single group. We need to keep fighting!

[@beomzi]

thank you for the video its very informative and you included all the important parts that some people leave out🧡i'm honestly so truly terrified for riize especially for seunghan right now, but briize need to stick together, i pray that good will win and seunghan will receive justice. also sending love to his family and close ones i cant even imagine how they're doing

[@percy_coro_cos]

Thank you so much! I was worried that I left smth out since I didn't Skript it but that's good to hear. I'm also hoping that they all get proper therapeutic treatment bc Kpop fans might forget this in a few months but Seunghan, the members and his family NEVER will.

[@beomzi]

@@percy_coro_cos god so do i... this is so fucking sad

[@nneichan9353]

BTS SUGA just underwent a similar push to leave BTS because he drove a motorized kick board after drinking at dinner. Then the SK Media blew it up. He had already taken responsibility and sincerely apologized before the K-Media started writing and posting lies about him. So this issue is near and dear to a lot of Army.

[@percy_coro_cos]

I know, BTS is my ult group but the members (just like Riize) have always made it clear that they'll choose each other over their fans. But in comparison to Riize they're not dependant on BigHit. Their label can't corner any of them and remove them from the group. They have security in that regard. Ofc it's still batshit crazy but they're all no longer kids and don't even need Korea (which they all know). It's genuinely so damn annoying tho like now K-"Armys" organized death wreaths for Suga and they might not be the worst thing for him but if it keeps happening to smaller groups or SM artists... This is really bad

[@alexilee1205]

Can the global army join forces w us?

ty for speaking on this! the situation is crazy, and ur right, it goes way beyond just RIIZE, it could happen to anyone.

So true! It's genuinely dangerous...

[@heyyselene]

The biggest mistake SM made in this issue is was putting him on very long period of hiatus and acting like he didn't exist in those whole time. They could just exclude him from Talk Saxy promo, take proper legal actions, let the hates went down and then make him back in Love 119 but no, it didnt stop there. He missed a lot of things in their first year. Their first concert and first anniversary! FREAKING FIRST ANNIVERSARY! I get why ot6s are more familiar with 6 members but seriously is it that hard to accept one member that supposed to be in the group in the first place? I still hate ot6s in every aspect but overall, SM's decision-making on this issue is absolutely sucks. Ot6s hate that he easily come in suddenly after what the other members went through in the first year but it's SM's fault to not solve this quickly.

[@percy_coro_cos]

Yeah they both kinda go hand in hand. Ot6ers are doing WAY too much like damn to them it's a literal crime to have EVER dated even way before became an idol. Most of them don't even use "oh he didn't put in work for Riize" as an argument which you would expect. But the biggest fault ofc lies with SM. There will always be crazy "fans". That's nothing new. But it's the labels task to PROTECT their idols. And SM never does which has ended tragically twice before. Unfortunately they truly do not care what is global fans have to say and that's why the boycott is so important. The only way they will listen to us is if we make their pockets bleed dry. They need to realize just how stupid it was to try and kick Seunghan out with all these tricks.

[@markigirl2757]

I’m not even a fan of Riize but after this it got me completely boycott all things SM. I did this with YG and Sm jsut got me doing it long time coming tho since SM has the worst track record 😅

[@percy_coro_cos]

Thank you so much!! Yeah this situation is the absolute worst and unfortunately it endangers every single idol out there. So truly we can only boycott, sign and share the petition and keep talking! SM is trying to wait us out so we need to show that we won't give up! 🧡

[@_._.._.___.___.23519]

Some are speculating that maybe SM planned the funeral flowers as well since its almost impossible to get permission from the police to do that in such a small ammount of time Seriously i've been crying every single day because of Seunghan and all the other members, i can't even imagine how they are right now Seing Sohee at the airport broke me They did all of this while Hanie was alone, no wonder why he ended up leaving the group, all of what they're going through its unhuman and cruel. When they directly removed that guy (i cant even say his name anymore) from Nct i thought they were getting at least a bit better, its obvious they can only get worse

[@percy_coro_cos]

Tbf I don't know if SM planned it but they were 100% involved since they left the funeral wreaths up but removed our support trucks immediately. They probably also contributed some of the wreaths. I'm also genuinely so heartbroken for them and spend every waking moment trending the tags on Twitter but it's important to not give up! SM is trying to wait us out and make us lose hope by removing Seunghan from Weverse, their official website etc. But now more than ever we need to be the voice of Riize. Keep trending the tags. Keep boycotting SM. Keep encouraging others to sign and share the petition. The members fought 10 months to bring Seunghan back, if we give up on less than a week then we don't deserve them. (btw SM didn't remove Taeil immediately, he was already in court back in June so they AT THE VERY LEAST knew abt it for 4 months... Yuck)

[@_._.._.___.___.23519]

@@percy_coro_cos Yes, if we give up so easily its like saying to SM that they can do this over and over again without any consequence, i hate the boycott because of how much It can affect the guys, but since its the only thing i can do i'll keep doing It until we make a change. Also how dare they do that while he is alone? They wanted him to leave since the start, and if they were going to remove him no matter what i see no use in making him go through that and breaking him and the others health, how can they live with that weight on their shoulders?

[@percy_coro_cos]

@_._.._.___.___.23519 btw the boycott doesn't hurt the members! They barely get any money from album sales, streaming etc. It all just goes to SM. And that's why a boycott is so effective. Not to mention that even if it was a monetary problem, the members should choose that any day if it grants justice to Seunghan. Yeah I also think it's so vile that they cornored Seunghan when he was alone. I get capitalism but SM is just downright evil. They wrapped the boys up in a false sense of security by claiming that Seunghan will return but they should have already taken legal action and cleared his name 10 months ago (which they even made a statement for back then, claiming that they would). It is obvious that Seunghan would get attacked by the freaks if they just throw him out to the sharks. And they backtracked way too quickly for it to not have been planned. Also conveniently at the time when the ones who fought for Seunghan's return wouldn't be there to support him... Ngl the biggest sign that they never planned on him returning is the fact that he's not part of the seasons greetings. Renjun is and they returned from their hiatus in the same week. Because they actually wanted Renjun back. Can't believe they're destroying the mental health of these kids just to lick korean fans' feet.

[@_._.._.___.___.23519]

@@percy_coro_cos Yeye, i know that economically its mostly doesent, but maybe It affects them mentally seing everyone boycotting them and they can even end Up thinking its their fault (even when It obviously isnt) Also i agree that SM didn't have any plans of him wanting to be back. And if they were worried that it will even repercute on the agency economically they could had at least waited to have a comeback with him to see the overall reaction, but they didn't. Also they don't give a shit about him, thats pretty obvious with all of their behavior (not removing the flowers and not taking legal action) Its so messed up how they don't care at all

[@percy_coro_cos]

@_._.._.___.___.23519 they're messed up fr you said it perfectly. But btw don't about the boycott making the members feel bad! In a way they're doing so too, no longer any fan service whatsoever and the fakest business smiles I've ever seen in my life. Not to mention leaving a space for Seunghan in choreos. They're the first ones who said Rii7e or nothing so don't worry 🧡

[@JBeechem]

It’s like we have been back stabbed and now he decided to leave the group and it’s so sickening because he was the one who was getting all of this hate for what he didn’t do anything wrong OT6 fans have literally pushed him out and pushed him away from not only his career but his members as well like they literally are messing with their lives and that’s not cool at all and we all need to see that SM needs to wake up and change their wicked ways because this shall not stand and RIIZE should be 7 members because the came as 7 members and will be as 7 members I do feel like it’s time for change and I hope this situation does spark ways to change not only K-pop but companies ways of handling situations like this and being true to their own words

[@percy_coro_cos]

Yeah it's actually ridiculous how they're playing with the members too. For us Seunghan returned after 10 months and then got kicked out two days later. But for the members? They fought for his return during all this time. SM cheated them into a false sense of security where they thought his return was safe and then chose exactly the time when they would be out of the country to corner him. It's just downright vile. We know damn well that capitalism sucks and companies only want money but with Riize they're just actively hurting the members for no reason at all. Like they should NOT have tolerated death threats. And the thing is they removed some of our support trucks so it truly would not have been any trouble for them. But now the members are boycotting with us in any ways they can. Leaving a space for Seunghan in choreos, not giving any fanservice, not posting on any of their social media (not even Weverse lmao) and taking a different exit at the airport so they won't be seen by Sasaengs, photographers and Ot6ers... So let's not give up! Sign the petition, join in trending tags, donate if you have the funds and share share share 🧡 Riize is 7 and we'll make them whole again!

[@percy_coro_cos]

Well the thing is the Aespa members barely profit from streams, album sales etc. That's why we're boycotting the entirety of SM. Remember how Karina had to apologize for dating? It's fortunate that it didn't turn into Seunghan level harassment but they're not safe.

[@_._.._.___.___.23519]

Im certain SM is using them as they always use Red Velvet on scandals They planed to annouce Seunghan's return and have Aespa's comeback in a small ammount of time to use Aespa to distract people from Seunghan and Riize
