Unfair Treatment towards RIIZE’s Eunseok Sparks Outrage Among Fans

On June 17, SM boy group RIIZE marked their comeback in the music industry with the release of their 1st mini-album, titled “RIIZING” , and the lead single “Boom Boom Bass” .

Despite being highly-anticipated, the comeback ultimately disappointed fans of RIIZE’s Eunseok due to the unfair treatment he received.

Shortly after the comeback, a topic titled “Why does Eunseok receive such few lines, despite his excellent singing abilities?”was posted on the popular Korean forum Pann, causing a great deal of attention.

The author of the topic expresses disappointment, stating that in the MV, Eunseok’s face seems to be quickly skipped over whenever it appears. Despite having excellent dance skills, good proportions, and being the visual of the group, he doesn’t receive enough singing lines or screen time. Even when he takes center stage, he blends in seamlessly. The author hopes that in the future, Eunseok will receive more opportunities to showcase his talents.

“The author also added, “Apart from Wonbin and Sohee, the remaining four members possess similar skills. Therefore, it begs the question: why is Eunseok consistently treated differently?”

Upon addressing the topic, it appears that the majority of individuals share the same opinion, perceiving SM’s treatment of Eunseok as unjust. Netizens have provided the following remarks:

Sohee serves as the main vocal, while Wonbin is both the center and second vocalist, which is satisfactory to me. However, when it comes to the remaining four members, only Eunseok consistently receives this type of recognition. His singing abilities are impressive and he is certainly not lacking in any way.
The situation was similar in “Impossible”- his screen time was minimal and they even toned down his appearance. He should just be given his black hair back.
In “Impossible”and on this occasion as well, he had numerous solo parts, but he was overshadowed so much that his nose couldn’t even be seen. Fans have consistently remained silent about this.
After watching the MV, I couldn’t help but feel like Eunseok was invisible ㅋㅋㅋ. It’s baffling to me why SM is not utilizing his talent properly.
To be completely honest, it’s incredibly frustrating. I was left in shock after watching the “Impossible”MV and couldn’t bring myself to watch it again.
In “Boom Boom Bass” , if it weren’t for Eunseok’s center part, I wouldn’t even know he was there lol
