Some closely timed announcements by RIIZE have fans feeling concerned and pissed off.
Earlier this month, RIIZE kicked off their RIIZING Day fan concert tour with concerts in Seoul. The tour features multiple dates across Asia and two in North America.
May 11 marked the first of two events in Tokyo, and fans were excited to see the group perform in the country.
At one point in the show, the group revealed that they would make their Japanese debut on September 4 and embark on a 15-concert hall tour across Japan in July.
While fans were excited for these opportunities for the group to show off their skills for more audiences, many were worried over the group’s now jam-packed schedule.
C5 is really running after that $ , so focused that they aren’t even batting any eyes at the health conditions of the members which is getting serious day by day cause still no proper rest has been given to them but only been overworked and rushed. https://t.co/LdAE0IZkdy

im so worried about their health really… they barely got any rest and they still have so much to do for the rest of the year it makes me so sad hoping at least this useless company maintains their schedule well so they can have enough rest bc this is not it https://t.co/tGriF7ij4Y

Following the conclusion of the concert, the RIIZE X account shared a clip titled “RISE & REALIZE | Chapter 2,” containing behind-the-scenes clips of the members.
The video ended with a screen featuring six of the members names, and is seemingly pointing to a new chapter for the group going forward.
This messaging left many fans feeling discontent due to the ongoing situation with Seunghan, who has been on hiatus since November 2023 following several leaks of private information and photos.
Fans were left angered by Seunghan’s implied exclusion from this “new chapter,” and have demanded SM Entertainment make the situation right.
Wasting a young boy’s dream for what? Living a normal teenager’s life? Being put on hiatus for false allegations. At this point, everything that Seunghan was accused of has been proven false. SM just doesn’t want to admit that what they did with Seunghan should never have…

Every time SM erases and discredits Seunghan and tries to rebrand RllZE as 6 is a reminder why we boycott.
Nothing has changed since November. In fact, it’s only gotten worse.
If anyone has gotten tired of boycotting or forgot why, now is the time to get serious again.
