RIIZE Criticized by K-netizens for Lackluster Attitude in Livestream with BND

On the night of June 20, a post titled “RIIZE’s reaction during the Daechinso live was extremely disappointing”was shared on the Korean forum Pann Nate, causing a stir.

Specifically, a topic was linked to a video that has garnered more than 3 million views. The video featured a clip from the Daechinso livestream, in which BND’s Jaehyun is seen introducing RIIZE’s new song.

!!! I’m not promoting my song!!! I’m crying in real time, but even if Myungmin went to a back alley and smoked a cigarette after the big meeting, Rajas would have nothing to say pic.twitter.com/XI5Ba2MU9w

Despite Jaehyun’s praise for the visuals and music, RIIZE members remained unresponsive, creating an uncomfortable atmosphere. The situation became so tense that BND’s Jaehyun had to ask RIIZE’s Sohee for assistance, as the song was not his own.

After watching the video, a considerable number of K-netizens criticized RIIZE for their lackluster attitude. Although some people defended the group by stating that they are introverted and that the atmosphere becomes more pleasant later on, they were in the minority.

Listed below are a few remarks about the subject:

It is unusual for idols to not acknowledge someone else promoting their song, regardless of their introverted tendencies. One should at least try to react and not make others feel uncomfortable if they are unable to do something engaging.
If you tune in for the entire live stream, you will witness numerous moments similar to the one shown in the video. Myung Jaehyun is undoubtedly an incredible individual, and I will continue to show my support for him in the future.
Regardless of whether you consider yourself introverted or not, it is important to react when on camera. Failing to do so and simply standing by while someone promotes your song can potentially lead to conflicts and negative perceptions.
This team (RIIZE) ought to remain united and avoid interacting with outsiders to prevent any unease.
Guys calm down, it’s just a cut from a long video, RIIZE probably thought that Jaehyun was still talking and was waiting for him to finish
I believe the atmosphere get comfortable later on, so the insults here are unwarranted
Although it is unfortunate that RIIZE has been labeled as rude, I must acknowledge that the group lacks awareness and sensitivity. It is important for them to work on improving their reactions.
