The "unstable" male rookie of SM, noisy in his private life "as long as it is", can he last long with the netizen?

Although not officially released to the public, SM Entertainment's new boy group project - RIIZE is "fevering" on Korean forums because of its past notoriety.

2023 is expected to be a fierce competition of the Korean music market as major entertainment units continuously plan to launch Gen 5 groups following Gen 4 idols.

Do not remain indifferent to the moves of competitors when starting the "SM 3.0: NEW IP 2023" strategy through the official Youtube channel. According to what was revealed, SM Entertainment ran at full speed for the remaining half of the year with the intention of debuting.

After nearly 3 years since the girl group aespa debuted, and nearly 7 years have passed since NCT was first introduced to the public, the management company SM Entertainment continues to introduce to fans. new boy group - RIIZE, and announced the group's initial schedule of activities.

As soon as the above information was posted, the share and comment below the post spiked. Most fans congratulate and look forward to SM's rookie project this time.

But just a few hours later, Korean netizens discovered a post on a twitter account that is said to be a classmate of one of the group's members accusing her friend of being a "gangster".

Specifically, a tweet that mentioned member Park Woobin (2003) from 2020 suddenly attracted attention. At that time, the 3 SM trainees who appeared in the photo were rumored to be new members of NCT's unit when they attended an SM employee's wedding. NCT members also came to celebrate at this wedding. A twitter account retweeted it with a catchy caption.

This tweet was dug up right after Park Woobin was officially introduced by SM.

This person posted a status line aimed at member Park Woobin, roughly translated as follows:

"The beanie team named Park Woobin.

I went to the same school as him (in Ulsan) and he was a delinquent.

I hope it doesn't debut in NCT hehe!!!"

Needless to say, the post immediately occupied the hot search position on Korean youth forums. In addition to the comments doubting the truthfulness of the information. The comment with the most replies also "denounces" this male member.

"This guy seems to be the new member of NCT, I went to the same school as that beanie. Is he already an SM trainee? I can dig up and talk about everything. Aaakak he's real debut as NCT with the other members, looks real."

The above controversy had not yet subsided, but on the same evening, member Sohee (2003) continued to be the "on the cutting board" of Korean netizens. Less than a day after being officially introduced, countless photos of the boys' past pre-debut are flooding Korean online communities. The most notable and hotly discussed is Sohee, born in 2003, predicted to be the main vocal of RIIZE.

Accordingly, Sohee revealed a photo taken with a friend at a "Hunting bar" called GLAM in Joong Ang-dong. Hunting bar is a type of bar to get acquainted, invite alcohol, pair drinking tables with groups of the opposite sex. Sohee is also "peeled" as someone who specializes in going to a bar called Glam in Joongang-dong to find "one-night stands". The male rookie did not hesitate to curse on his old social media account.

Netizens have left many comments about Sohee's behavior:

"Well, if he goes to a Hunting bar as an adult, that's not really a problem but... still a no-no if he's trying to debut as a K-Pop idol."

"Just from this picture, you can see that he's always messing around with his friends. It's not fitting to be a K-Pop idol."

"It's only been a day since he caused trouble like this?"

Facing rumors about the members' personalities, SM Entertainment's representative still has not made any move to explain or report those posts. This partly makes netizens believe that the above information is very likely to be true. On the other hand, some longtime fans of SM groups think that this trick is a "traditional ritual" every time the representative launches a new group project.

RIIZE is a boy group project that mainly works on the Japanese audience segment. The group is one of the units of the entire NCT system. RIIZE is a combination of two words "rise" (mature) and "realize" (realize), with the meaning "the group grows up together, realizes dreams and moves forward". The 7-member group has been following the company since SMRookies - the project to introduce potential trainees before officially debuting, including: former NCT member Shotaro, Sung Chan, SM Rookie Eunseok, Seunghan, Anton, Sohee and Park Woobin. The group will be officially introduced to the public in September this year.
