The photo of SM rookie boy group RIIZE’s Seunghan has disappeared from a portal site.
As of 3 PM KST on August 30th, RIIZE member Seunghan’s official profile image is not visible on the portal site Naver. However, other profile information besides the image remains.
Apart from Seunghan, individual official images of RIIZE’s members Shotaro, Eunseok, Sungchan, Wonbin, Sohee, and Anton, as well as group photos, are consistently published on all portal sites including Naver, leading netizens to wonder whether this is a simple error or a hint at a lineup change.
Recently, photos presumed to be from Seunghan’s private dates with his alleged ex-girlfriend were posted online, sparking a controversy. SM Entertainment has not clarified the authenticity of these photos.
Seunghan was also absent from RIIZE’s recent pre-recording for the music show NPOP. An SM representative stated, “Seunghan has to be absent due to poor condition caused by illness.”
RIIZE is a rookie 7-member boy group consisting of Sungchan, Seunghan, Wonbin, Anton, Sohee, Shotaro, and Eunseok. As the first boy group introduced by SM after NCT, RIIZE has been generating much attention even before their official debut.
On August 21st, RIIZE pre-released the prologue single ‘Memories.’ On September 4th, RIIZE will officially debut with their first single album ‘Get A Guitar.’ They also plan to hold a debut showcase for media outlets on the day of the album’s release.
