"Born this way".. Rise's Anton responds confidently to mocking comments about parental influence

RIIZE's Anton confidently responded to malicious comments.

Recently, on the group RIIZE's TikTok, a comment was posted towards member Anton saying, "NEPO BABYYY."

"Nepo baby" is a term that mocks children who achieve success without any special effort due to their parents' influence.

In response, Anton replied with "born this way by Lady Gaga."

This phrase quotes a sentiment often used to express the feelings of LGBTQ+ individuals about being born with their sexual orientation or identity.

Lady Gaga's 'Born This Way' is recognized as an anthem for the LGBTQ+ community, encapsulating their experiences and struggles.

Anton's handling of the malicious comment is being praised as bold and refreshing, with many applauding his response. However, some are questioning whether using the phrase from the LGBTQ+ community crosses a line.

-I don't understand why Anton is getting hate for responding to excessive comments. It's okay to ignore it, but isn't it okay to respond as well? Korea always wants victims to be quiet. He was silent and suddenly started receiving hate, but why can't he respond?

-But really... isn't this just a light-hearted joke? It's funny how Korea reacts so intensely.

-It feels refreshing to see a straightforward response.

-Wow, RIIZE is so popular! 

-Even though Yoonsang brings initial attention, if he himself lacks charm, he won't gain popularity, right?

-I don't care much, but he was handsome. Even if he wasn't Yoonsang's son, he would've debuted somewhere else, right? 

-But if someone quoted Lady Gaga's song, "Born This Way," it wouldn't be a big issue either. The essence of "Born This Way" is that regardless of who you are, you shouldn't deny yourself but love yourself. Even if he said he didn't ride on his parents' fame, it's not like he denied his background or identity. I don't understand why quoting "Born This Way" would be a problem. Those making a fuss probably want to hate him anyway.

-I understand the perspective of someone who isn't a fan. They might think he's getting attention just because of his father. But considering his fan base, even if he wasn't Yoonsang's son, he probably would've become popular somewhere. But since he grew up in such an environment, what can he do? But even before his debut, there were articles saying he always wore expensive clothes and had a silver spoon. It seems like such sentiments make people think more about his parents, not that he's bragging about them

-Commenting on a video with his dad and Nepo Baby in a derogatory way is disrespectful, right? It's crossing a line. Even the ignorant haters who accuse him of planting hate comments seem the same. He was born and raised in the US before coming to Korea, so he probably knows more about that song than the haters. Let's start the new year with a more peaceful mindset~~

-Even though I'm not a fan of RIIZE, this controversy is absurd. "Born This Way" isn't something only a few can use. Why even make it into a news article? The world is filled with mockery, anger, and hate.

-"Born This Way" for him...? I don't have any negative feelings towards him, but it seems out of place. His situation and the song don't seem to match...

#Yoonsang What is my charm point?

The tweet has gained over 8 M views and 10K RT quotes
If you check the RT quotes, most of them are hate commentsㅋㅋㅋ

I know he's a hard-working guy. It's sad to see him getting cyber-bullied like thisㅠ
I'm sure he checks the comments he receives on Twitter, though... It upsets me to see him getting a lot of hate, that's why I'm writing this post

He debuted as the youngest member of a group called AWEEK a few years ago, however, the group disbanded. He didn't give up on his dream to become an idol and debuted as the leader of this new group. He is working really hard. They haven't even officially debuted yet. They're currently only active in Japan as their pre-debut...? promotionsㅠ

In his previous group, he was rumored to bully a member to the point that member had to leave the group. Someone claimed to be his friend and started the rumor. However, that person immediately deactivated their account after his company threatened to take legal actionsㅋㅋㅋ But people are still spreading that rumor without even bothering to read the clarification.

+) If you ever see someone spread that rumor on Twitter, please tell them that it's false rumor!!ㅠ

Despite the company releasing an official statement about the rumor, nobody seems to care and they continued to bully him, calling he's ugly, saying he deserves all the hate, etc. I'm writing this post with hope that at least people in this online community knows that's just a false rumor.

-Whoa... People are really cruel. I hope he wouldn't get hurt by those commentsㅠㅠ

-What? He's not ugly at all, though...??

-What do you mean... He looks really adorable...

-What... A lot of people still talk about the bullying rumor in the RT Quotes. Not to mention those tweets get a lot of RTs. I think he really should take a legal action this time...

-He looks handsome, though... Why are there a lot of mean people in this world?ㅜㅜ Fighting!! I hope he will take a legal action against those people...

-Even if he's ugly, why would you hate him just because you think he's ugly? That's really awful.

-I checked the RT Quotes and noticed that people are crossing the lines... Why are they so mean?

-They're leaving hate comments on the group's official account...? Do they think he can't see their tweets? They're really mean. There is an actual person behind that accountㅠㅠ

-There are a lot of weird people on Twitter...ㅠ

-I hope those people would receive the same mean comments when they post pictures of their faces on the Internet...

-Why is he being targeted?

-Why are there a lot of mean people on Twitter? Is it because they're anonymous?

-Those people must be really crazyㅠㅠ Why are they acting like that?

-I really hope that idol doesn't check the comments on Twitter...

-These days, judging celebrities' looks seem to be normalized. I really don't understand that. 

-This is exactly why I hate Twitter
