“Kiss bed photos before debut” RIIZE Hong Shenghan was absent from the recording of today’s singing show! SM said it was “discomfort from a cold”, and Net proposed to “leave the team early”

Hong Shenghan, a member of SM Entertainment’s new boy group RIIZE, was exposed as a trainee and took a selfie with his girlfriend kissing the bed. His absence has caused controversy. Today’s music variety show NPOP announced that RIIZE Hong Shenghan will not participate in today’s pre-recording work, and SM Entertainment also responded.

The NPOP production team announced through SNS this morning that the pre-recording of the 1st and 2nd episodes will continue today, but RIIZE Hong Shenghan will not participate. I hope fans will understand. Later, SM Entertainment told the media that the reason for Hong Shenghan’s absence was “being in poor condition due to a cold”.

Many Korean netizens expressed difficulty in accepting SM’s attitude, thinking that Hong Shenghan took intimate selfies with his girlfriend after disclosing his Rookies identity, and lacked self-awareness (*SM announced on July 2 last year that Shenghan was one of the Rookies trainees, and the hoodie in the kiss photo was Released in October last year), the bed photos are uncomfortable, implicating the whole group and making it difficult to enter the pit, and guessing that SM will still let him debut, so I feel helpless.

Korean netizens commented: “Since he hasn’t officially debuted yet, it would be better to remove him.””Sung Chan and Shotaro are too pitiful.”It’s too exaggerated, it’s unpleasant.””If my girlfriend is really underage, I have to leave the group. After releasing Rookies, I still take such photos blatantly. I can imagine it in the future.””It’s not just a trainee period, but I have already participated in SM concerts, Filmed the reality show “Welcome to NCT Universe”with NCT””SM should be glad that he was exposed before his debut””SM will 100% continue to take him with him, super annoying”.

In addition, NPOP is a K-POP monthly ranking program jointly created by NAVER and the content production company Playlist. It will be pre-recorded on Wednesdays of the first to third weeks of each month, and will be broadcast live by 6 groups of artists on Mondays of the fourth week. The first choice on the list is “NPOP Artist of the Month”.
