Koreans Baffled As RIIZE’s Official Account Interacts With “Disgraced” Member
Seunghan was a member of the K-pop boy group RIIZE under SM Entertainment. He debuted with the group in September 2023. He later went on a hiatus after past private videos and photos were leaked online, sparking controversy. SM Entertainment later announced his departure from RIIZE. The agency stated the decision was made to protect both Seunghan’s privacy and the group’s future activities.
It was later announced in June 2025 that he would be making a debut under the name Xnghan. Netizens were shocked to realize on June 16, 2025, that the RIIZE official Instagram account follows him.
Netizens sarcastically praised Korea for being “open-minded.”

Don’t they know that they’ll be cursed out if they follow him? Are they just dumb?
