A vocal faction of RIIZE fans has organized a large-scale protest against Seunghan’s return to the group, involving 28 protest trucks. This demonstration, aimed at publicly opposing SM Entertainment’s decision, marks a significant escalation in the fans’ efforts to make their dissatisfaction known.

Protest Truck Campaign: A Bold Move

The protest trucks will carry messages demanding Seunghan’s departure from RIIZE, circulating around key locations starting from October 14 to October 18. According to online sources, the trucks are scheduled to appear at places like D Tower, Lotte Group, Woori Bank, and AmorePacific, all of which are major advertisers associated with RIIZE. These trucks will serve as public demonstrations of the fans’ displeasure with SM Entertainment’s decision to retain Seunghan in the group.

Detailed Schedule and Legal Compliance

The organized fan group has meticulously planned this protest, taking into account legal requirements for outdoor demonstrations. One of the trucks, stationed at D Tower, has been reported as part of an outdoor assembly that will continue through mid-November. Other strategic areas include high-traffic spots and key businesses, amplifying the protest’s visibility.

Division Among the Fanbase

Seunghan’s return has caused significant division within the RIIZE fan community. While many fans have expressed their frustration on social media, some are pushing for more extreme measures, as seen in this protest truck campaign. On TheQoo, a popular Korean online community, user comments reflect the diverse opinions surrounding this controversy:

“Is this all part of a big plan to force Seunghan out because he won’t leave on his own?”
“The fact that they go so far just to ruin someone’s life and then proudly brag about it… it’s honestly disgusting.”

Other comments express support for the protest movement:

“Fighting! Let’s go BRIIZE, fighting!”
“Do they seriously still think that old member shield tactic is going to work?”

Seunghan’s Role in RIIZE

Seunghan, a member of RIIZE, has been at the center of this fan-driven controversy. Fans opposing his return argue that his presence in the group could harm its image and future prospects. The group debuted recently under SM Entertainment, and this level of protest so early in their career has created additional tension within their fanbase, known as BRIIZE.

The protest trucks are the latest in a series of actions taken by fans unhappy with Seunghan’s continued participation in RIIZE. The trucks are seen as a direct challenge to SM Entertainment, placing pressure on the company to reconsider their decision about Seunghan’s role in the group.

As the protest is set to continue over several days, it remains to be seen how SM Entertainment and the RIIZE management will respond to this growing tension within the fan community.
