BRIIZE and K-Netz discuss the “impact” of RIIZE buzz among students at school

On March 11, Korean netizens gathered in an online community called ” I realize the seriousness of the RIIZE scandals ».

In this post, the OP shared an experience at school and talked about how everyone at school was talking about RIIZE Eunseok and controversial intern Han Seo Hee.

For more context, Han is Seo Hee appeared on social media for being involved in a conversation with “The Only”, also known as Kim Ye In, who is also an alleged ex-girlfriend of Eunseok.

The posts on the X platform (Twitter) showed Kim Ye In’s attempt to bring Han Seo Hee closer to Eunseok and other male idols. However, Han Seo Hee denied being involved in the conversation and netizens doubted the former trainee’s claims. The author shared:

“When I got to school and during lunch break, everyone around me and the people in the school corridors were talking about Song Eunseok and Han So Hee.

You can see RIIZE fans losing their minds and fans of other groups recharging their dopamine.

In the comments section, netizens expressed how much they missed being a student who could talk freely about celebrity gossip. They also talked about other K-pop dating controversies in the past and how they affected fans on the school campus. This is how they reacted:

• “It makes me want to go (again) to school. I’m a college student (now) and there are no classes today, so I can’t tell anyone. I act like a hikikomori in my room and refresh Pann all the time.
• “Everybody’s going to kick their covers, but during the Baekhyun dating scandal, there were so many kids leaning over my desk crying and swearing. Now they’re swearing because it was embarrassing.
• “The dopamine rush is real. For those who aren’t fans, they just think it’s super fun.
• “It’s good, there were also many children who cried during the Baekhyun scandal, but it’s over now. »

Meanwhile, international fans said that the “drama” that RIIZE and the fifth generation groups faced was similar to what happened during the first, second and third generation K-pop.

• “There were fucking EXO posts trending on Pann from 2013 to 2018. I didn’t see a boy group being talked about after the fourth generation started. »
• “In fact, I think the fourth generation will be eclipsed by the fifth, especially for boy groups.
• “The 5th generation provides the dramatic atmosphere of the end of the 2nd generation and the beginning of the 3rd generation. »
• “It’s making K-pop fun again, it’s much better tea for Koreans than international fans fighting over the charts.”
• “It really feels like a new generation started when RIIZE debuted. I didn’t feel like the 5th generation, but it’s obvious now with their popularity that people are constantly talking about them.
• “It’s not just about the concept they’re bringing back, but also the old days of how the 1st generation operated among the public and the fandom with constant gossip. »
