RIIZE member Sungchan has come under fire from online users for his recent actions, which many have deemed unprofessional and “gross.”
Nose-Picking Controversy
A viral GIF circulating online shows Sungchan picking his nose while sitting in the background of a video, seemingly engrossed in his phone. Another clip shows him engaging in the same behavior while interacting with other members.
These actions have sparked widespread criticism, with netizens expressing their disappointment and calling for more professionalism from the idol. Some have even gone so far as to label his behavior as “disgusting” and “unhygienic.”
Impact on RIIZE’s Image
The controversy surrounding Sungchan’s actions has raised concerns about the impact on RIIZE’s overall image. As a newly debuted group, RIIZE is striving to establish a strong and positive presence in the K-pop industry. This incident, however, has cast a shadow over their early efforts.
It remains to be seen how RIIZE and Sungchan will address the backlash. The group’s management agency, SM Entertainment, has yet to issue a statement regarding the controversy.
