RIIZE’s Sungchan recently sparked a heated debate after sharing a message with fans on the Bubble app.
The post, in which he mentioned various members of the group, caused fans to notice that he deliberately left out one member—Wonbin. This led to a flurry of comments and speculation about the status of their relationship.
In his message, Sungchan mentioned several members, including Chanyeol, Mark, Chenle, Shotaro, Anton, Sohee, and Eunseok, but did not reference Wonbin at all.
An online community board exploded with discussions about this omission, with some fans interpreting it as evidence of tension between the two members.
The original post expressed disappointment, saying that fans would likely recognize that Sungchan and Wonbin were not close, which had been an ongoing issue, not just a one-time event.
The poster noted that while it’s normal for group members to have individual friendships, idols should still maintain a sense of professionalism and not let any discord between members show publicly, especially in casual interactions like Bubble messages.
The concern was that by ignoring Wonbin, Sungchan might be unintentionally reinforcing negative assumptions about their relationship.
However, many netizens came to Sungchan’s defense, criticizing the fans who were attempting to create drama between him and Wonbin.
Supporters argued that it was unfair to judge Sungchan’s actions too harshly and that he should not be expected to mention every member in every post.
They pointed out that the fans who were criticizing him might be trying to sow division within the fandom before the group’s upcoming comeback.
Despite the criticism, there were calls to ignore the trolls and support the group’s future endeavors.
Fans also noted that RIIZE had been dealing with a lot of negativity from their fans compared to the positive image of the members themselves, and they hoped the group could move forward without unnecessary drama.
