RIIZE fans are rallying around Anton after a recent controversy! Things haven’t been easy for the K-Pop idol lately. Rumors about a girlfriend sparked a frenzy online, leaving Anton in the middle of a whirlwind.

A Trip Home: Anton’s New Jersey Vlog Offers Glimpse into Family Time

Fortunately, some light has been shed on the situation. Just days after the controversy erupted, a new vlog featuring Anton’s trip to New Jersey was uploaded to the official RIIZE channel. This vlog, significantly longer than any previous uploads, offered fans a closer look at Anton‘s time away.

The video documented Anton spending most of his trip with family, enjoying dinners and outings with his mom and younger brother. There was also a brief segment showcasing a meet-up with friends. The extended length of the vlog led some fans to believe the editing team might have intentionally included more footage to demonstrate Anton’s innocence.

Standing by Their Star: Fans Defend Anton

The vlog has struck a chord with RIIZE’s devoted fanbase, known as BRIIZE. Many fans expressed their sympathy for Anton in the comment section, upset by the ordeal he had to endure. Comments highlighted the unfairness of the situation, with some fans even expressing worry about how this experience might affect Anton’s mental health and relationships.

Here’s a glimpse into what some fans had to say:

• Bet the editing team was so baffled at his rumors that they just uploaded all of the content he filmed. How can people do this to a kid who was busy filming everything like this?
• I’m scared that people will think Chanyoung was not sincere to his fans over this matter, that he will blame himself, that he will lose his precious relationships, that he will regret becoming an idol… I’m only so worried and sorry for him… I hope he still knows that there are fans who are cheering him on and believeing in him, and that he doesn’t skip his meals and stays healthy. I hope he makes more happy memories with the members such that this simply becomes a memory where he will look back upon and be like, “oh, right this happened.” And I hope that the group becomes closer because of this. RIIZE and BRIIZE, let’s realize! Always love and supporting you.
• Sigh, he really filmed 20 minutes all on his own.
• Can’t believe the fans spread rumors on their own about such a kid, and really wrung him through together with the non-BRIIZE who were excited to tear him down. I’m embarrassed to be a part of the same fandom. It’ll be helpful if those fans leave the fandom even now.
• Thinking about how Lee Chanyoung got cursed out without doing anything wrong makes me sad and angry… He’s someone who is so sincere to fans…

Overall, the comments section reflects a wave of support for Anton. Fans are urging him to stay healthy and focus on the positive aspects of his life, including his relationship with the other RIIZE members and the love from his dedicated fanbase.

Looking Ahead

While the controversy may have caused temporary turmoil, the New Jersey vlog has served as a platform for Anton to connect with his fans and offer some clarity. With the support of BRIIZE behind him, Anton can hopefully move forward and focus on his music and career with RIIZE. This incident also serves as a reminder of the importance of responsible online behavior and the impact rumors can have on celebrities.
