RIIZE Shotaro's fans are sending protest trucks in front of SM Ent. HQ


The future of the group is dark if the valuable main dancer is being neglected. Protect the precious existence of Shotaro's laughter. 

Why apologize on broadcast when the leader, Shotaro, is not at fault? 

SM 3.0 Center 5 has the worst marketing ever. Shotaro has been cut off not just for once or twice! Stop discriminating against Shotaro!

Center 5 is the source of (fans') anxiety for their worst countermeasures

-Why are Chinese fans like this?

-I totally understand why they sent protest trucks. But some people might think he did something wrong if fans keep doing this. 

-Honestly, about the apology in the live broadcast... I'd be mad too

-Anyone can send protest trucks...

-Who sent this? Oh, it's written there... Chinese fans

-It's frustrating... well, this too shall pass.

-I really sympathize with the last comment.

-It's upsetting.

- I understand being angry, but if someone who doesn't know sees it briefly, they might think Taro is the problematic one.

-Neglecting the main dancer, I don't quite sympathize with it. Shotaro participated in creating some of the choreography and his work has made headlines. Everyone knows that Shotaro is not being neglected as the main dancer. 

-It's understandable to be angry, but too many truck protests might create backlash.... It would be more effective to withdraw quickly and pursue a different approach.

- I was really annoyed yesterday, but I don't think sending trucks was appropriate... I honestly don't understand the message. I totally agree that he shouldn't have apologized, but I can't empathize with the rest. Just in case, I'm mentioning that Shotaro is my bias.

-Fans might send it because they're upset.

-When did they neglect Taro? Taro performed as the main dancer in year-end stages, SM Concert special stages, etc. He's being treated well.

theqoo 

-Glastonbury Festival? That's crazy...

-Seventeen also posted that on their Instagram story. It's crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-What's up with Seventeen's schedule this year...? I mean, I love it... But they're working so hard...

-I'm asking this because I really don't know... But is that a famous music show?

-They have an encore concert in Incheon in March, an encore concert in Sangam in April, go to Nissan in May, WeverseCon and Glastonbury Festival in June, and Loolapalooza in September. They're also planned to have a comeback in April and they said they were going to have a fanmeeting this year...

-Just how many concerts are they attending this year, seriously...

-Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and... Seventeen...

-They're going to perform at the world's largest music festival, Glastonbury Festival... Wow...

-They're working really hard...

-Whoa, stay healthy Seventeen... Thank you and congratulationsㅜㅜ

-Congratulations, Seventeen🎉 And please stay healthyㅠㅠ

-A Kpop idol performing at Glastonbury Festival? That's incredibleㅋㅋㅋ It's really insane. Aside from that, why are this year's headliners so lame? Dua Lipa / Coldplay / Caesar / Shania Twain? Last year it was Arctic Monkeys / Guns N' Roses / Elton John / Lizzo, like that...

-Seventeen seems to have a lot of concerts this year, amazing.

-I'm not sure what it is, but I searched it and it seems to be the number-one festival in the world.

Explanation from Anton's Another Female Friend

 1. A different female friend of Anton's (Not the one who clarified yesterday) tagged Anton in a post 259 weeks ago on Instagram. Now, rumors are circulating that she is his real girlfriend. This has caused him to face criticism. 

The first account is Anton's friend's Instagram, the second one is her sister's Instagram


Basically, they're talking about how the whole thing goes viral in the K-pop community and they find it absurd because they're just friends. Moreover, they find it even more absurd because it's all caused by a picture of them holding hands. 

theqoo

-259 weeks ago equals to 5 years and 7 months agoㅋㅋ That post was from 2018. 

-So idols are not supposed to have any friends at all?? This is crossing the lines. What crime did Anton commit to deserve this? People are treating him like a criminal, harassing him, doxxing his close acquaintances... I don't understand what kind of behavior is this.

-K-pop is indeed a breeding ground for lunatics.

-Why are K-pop fans becoming so extreme?

-Are idols not allowed to have opposite-sex friends? Seriously, this is so creepy... Why is there such an uproar over holding hands in a photo? It's so embarrassing, seriouslyㅠㅠㅠ

-I feel embarrassed just watching this. Why do people interfere when it's clear they were just friends? It's weird that those trying to stop it end up being the ones criticized.

-Idols are so pitiful... Even their personal relationships have to be controlled by others. 

-Do idols need to cut off all of their relationships with others so fans will feel relieved?? 

-Even as an adult, if someone like a guy I've been taking swimming lessons with every day for a year and became really close... Holding hands to say goodbye after the lesson, holding hands wouldn't feel awkward at all. From the comments, it seems like they've been swimming together since they were young, so it's inevitable they became close friends.

-Being an idol is such an extreme job.

-Oh man, why is there such a fuss about a photo of two friends holding hands?

-It must be terrifying for non-celebrities to get caught up in this. Just thinking about people going through my Instagram account like they're trying to catch a mouse...

-If they're checking up posts to 259 weeks back, they seriously need to go to the hospital.

-These crazy people are really scary... Stay strong, Anton.

-People who overly react to idol relationships seem like they need mental therapy. How much must they lose themselves to be so deeply immersed in someone else's relationships?

-Twitter is full of crazy people; they need to be sued. They're going way too far.

-I can't even remember what happened 259 days ago.

-Come on, what's wrong with just holding hands with a friend? What kind of lives are these people living?

SM Ent. Announces to Take Legal Action Against Malicious Commenters (With No Settlement)


Hello, this is SM Entertainment.

We are currently witnessing the rampant spread of false information about RIIZE members, primarily across social media platforms and online communities. Moreover, we are deeply concerned about the persisting illegal activities, which include personal attacks, defamation, and malicious slander, surpassing the boundaries of acceptable behavior.

These actions constitute severe crimes that severely tarnish the reputation and dignity of our artists. We are currently diligently reviewing all collected evidence and intend to take decisive legal action against the perpetrators without compromise or leniency.

Furthermore, we are troubled by the ongoing invasion of privacy targeting individuals associated with our artists, particularly their families and acquaintances. This includes acts such as persistent stalking, verbal abuse, insults, and sexual harassment.

As these behaviors are violations of individual rights and constitute criminal offenses, it is crucial for everyone to understand that legal measures are available. We earnestly urge everyone to exercise caution to prevent any unwarranted involvement in such regrettable incidents.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the fans who support RIIZE, and we pledge to continue our utmost efforts in safeguarding our artists in the future.

Thank you.

-It was absolutely a mess on Twitter... SM needed to take legal actionㅠㅠ

-It is seriously insane. Let's sue them all. 

-No settlement. No leniency. Good. 

-I witnessed people not only stalking RIIZE's members, but also their families and acquaintances. It's really scary. I'm not a fan, but I sincerely hope they will get caught. 

-Twitter was absolutely a mess. I've never even tweeted anything about RIIZE, but some weird tweets about them kept popping up on my timeline. Some of them were clearly false information. They all need to be sued. 

-Please hurry up and take legal action... It's really tiring to mute every single crazy fans on my timeline everytime I refresh itㅠㅠ

-Twitter is unbelievably chaotic... They need to get a grip. 

-Instead of just announcing they will be taking legal action, they should also inform about the process and results. Regardless, I hope those people will get the punishment they deserve. 

-Please... Please sue them all. It's driving me insane. 

-The sasaengs need to be controlled. They're crossing the lines. Please protect the artists. 

-JYP needs to learn from SM and do something too...

-Please don't just announce with words, show us the results...

-I've been waiting for this announcement since it was getting chaotic out thereㅠㅠ Sue them all!

-Twitter is seriously a paradise for lunatic people...

-They should start from Twitter. I've been seeing tweets exposing and ridiculing the members' family and friends on my timeline for days.

-SM Ent. did really well. They all really need to be sued.

"Who Would've Expected a 60-Year-Old Actor to Do This..." Choi Min-sik Excite the MZ Generation

 

"A fan personally knitted this scarf for me. So, even if it's choking me, I'll wear it. I'll gladly wear the headbands and scarves you've given me, despite the choking sensation."

Choi Min-sik doesn't shy away from showcasing his protruding belly as he does the hand hearts and flashes smile, as his fans had requested. The fan-services this 62-year-old actor recently did during the promotional events for the film 'Exhuma' have sparked reactions from the MZ Generation. The term 'Hal-ggu' (Grandfather Makeover) has been spreading like wildfire since then. 

Choi Min-sik attended all 73 stage greetings with no exception until the 9th. During these events, he wore Kuromi, Kitty, Panda headbands, tangerine hats, and even bags made out of snacks created by fans, graciously. Since then, he has been gaining a lot of new nicknames such as 'Kuro-Minsik', 'Kitty-Minsik', 'Tangerine Min-sik', and more. 

K-Netz commented, "Young actors should learn from him about fan service." A representative from Showbox stated, "While fan service used to be primarily focused on idol-turned-actors or younger stars, even middle-aged and senior actors don't hesitate doing it these days. Especially Choi Min-sik, who has been receiving an unusually large number of gifts."An official also analyzed, "If people hear good things about fan service, they tend to attend screenings even if they're not fans of the actors."

theqoo

-It's really adorable to see Ahjussis do fan-service to the fullest...

-Hal-gguㅋㅋㅋㅋ That's really cute

-I bet at least the movie gained 100,000 viewers more after Min-sik Ahjussi did that

-It seems like doing fan service really earns favor. Not only Choi Min-sik, but Timothee Chalamet also received good reactions after doing fan-services in Korea...

-Older actors used to secretly envy it when younger actors got those kinds of fan service requests. They seem to enjoy it when they get asked to do fan-service. Min-sikbao is so cuteㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-This is what it means to be a real man.

-He used to have a dignified image, but now he's become adorable.

-He used to have a serious image from always playing scary roles (at least to me), but lately, he's the cutest ㅠㅠ

-Because the actors themselves seem to enjoy it, the viewers find it entertaining too, and some people book movie tickets just to see that.  But seriously, it's just too cute ㅋㅋ

-Some actors used to act high and mighty at film festivals or press conferences, and it was really off-putting... So it's really nice to see a great actor like him actively showing a bright image.

-Seriously, he's an adorable manly man.

-He looks so happy that it makes me happy too ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-That's very nice to see... He's really cute

-Real men know how to be cute.

-He's already excellent at his job, and he's got aegyo too??? Please continue to do even better in the future!!!! 

-It's creepy to see someone of my grandfather's age being requested to do such cute things. 

-Hey guys, don't ruin the mood and go touch some grass.
