This post is not directly related to KATSEYE, but we encourage all EYEKONS, especially those attending the event, to read the following statement!
Many of you are likely aware of the ongoing situation involving RIIZE, Seunghan, and their label, SM.
RIIZE is set to perform as a six-member group at the upcoming MAMA LA event after the unfair exclusion of Seunghan, the seventh member, from the group.
Even though we are not fans of RIIZE, we strongly oppose bullying and the mistreatment of artists by labels.
Although this may not directly involve KATSEYE, OT7 BRIIZE (RIIZE's fans) will host a fan project as one of the last chances for international fans to make their voices heard. Fans will distribute orange ribbons, banners, and QR codes outside the venue.
The QR codes will provide guides on when and what to chant to express disapproval of SM's decision to remove Seunghan, sending a clear message that international fans do not support this move.
Participation is entirely optional, but we encourage those attending to show solidarity and stand against bullying and unfair management practices. You don't need to spend all day on this.
Additional information and ways to participate, even for those not attending, are linked in the comments.
The fandom of a HYBE artist who has no connection to RIIZE even created a detailed guide. They plan to distribute QR codes for the guides that include detailed information even down to exact timings for chants.
On top of that, another KATSEYE's fan told this fanbase to not meddle in issues of idols from other companies, but this fanbase blocked that fan instead.
-Why are they doing this? Is everyone relate to HYBE crazy?
- Are these people out of their minds? Seriously, are they sane??? Leave RIIZE alone, won't you!
-Are you sure that's really KATSEYE's fans...?ㅋㅋ
-I meanㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ SM Ent. is going to debut him as a solo singer. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋWhat's their goal? Why is another fandom causing a fuss about him leaving his group? HYBE's idol fans should just focus on their idolsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-HYBE again.
-Don't call them 'international fans'ㅋㅋ Most of them are HYBE stans anywayㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ At first, a lot Kpop stans paid attention to this issue but now most of them have stopped and no longer interested. The ones still doing this are all HYBE stans.
-Why are HYBE stans being so loud here?
-They're fans of another group, so why...? I don't get it, just why...?ㅋㅋㅋ Wouldn't this just tarnish their idol's name? Do they think RIIZE has no international fans?
-Why are HYBE fans so obsessed with SM?
-I wonder how much are they getting paid for doing this.
-You dumbasses... It's HYBE that you should be protesting, not SM! Tell them to stop bothering NewJeans.
-Leave SM alone.
