RIIZE’s Wonbin, a rising star in the K-pop industry, recently found himself embroiled in a fabricated scandal orchestrated by Han Seo Hee, a former trainee with a history of spreading false rumors. The incident has sparked outrage among fans and netizens who are calling for legal action against Han.
Wonbin Accused of Visiting “Hunting Pocha” Bar
On June 18, 2024, a post on a popular South Korean social media platform went viral. The post, titled “Han Seo Hee Deleted A Post After Going Viral With Wonbin,” exposed Han’s attempt to create a scandal. According to the post, Han uploaded a picture of Wonbin on her Instagram story, claiming he was spotted at a “Hun-po,” which is short for “Hunting Pocha.” These establishments are known as pick-up bars, and Han’s implication was that Wonbin was there to meet women.
Lies Exposed by Leaked Text Exchange
However, the truth quickly surfaced. A screenshot of a text conversation between Han Seo Hee and an acquaintance emerged online. The screenshot showed Han’s friend sharing a picture of a man, writing that they met someone who looked like Wonbin. This picture, it turned out, was the same one Han had posted on her social media, falsely claiming it was the actual RIIZE member.

Fans Demand Consequences for Han Seo Hee
Faced with overwhelming evidence, Han deleted the post and has remained silent on the matter. Netizens, however, are not letting this go. They are outraged by Han’s repeated attempts to defame celebrities and invade their privacy. Many have called for severe consequences for her actions, including legal repercussions. Fans believe that only a strong response will deter her from spreading more lies in the future.
History of Controversies
This is not the first time Han Seo Hee has been involved in a scandal dragging celebrities into controversy. In the past, she has been linked to negative rumors surrounding K-pop idols like T.O.P. (BIGBANG), B.I. (formerly of iKON), and Wonho (formerly of MONSTA X). These incidents resulted in significant consequences for the targeted artists.
Most recently, Han released private conversations with popular K-drama actor Ahn Hyo Seop, leading to a defamation lawsuit filed by the actor. She has also been associated with rumors involving NCT’s Haechan. Han has stated that she doesn’t care about the negative attention she receives, even seeming to welcome it.
The Need for Change
The repeated targeting of celebrities by Han Seo Hee raises concerns about the lack of repercussions for online harassment and the spread of misinformation. With the rise of social media, such incidents can quickly spiral out of control, causing significant damage to the reputations of public figures. Fans and netizens are calling for stricter regulations and harsher penalties to deter such behavior in the future.
