Seoul Scandal: Former SM Trainee Reveals True Personality of RIIZE Member Seunghan
In a shocking revelation that has left fans reeling, Anderson, an ex-trainee from SM Entertainment who appeared in the survival program NCT Lastart, has come forward with a personal account of his experience with Seunghan, a former member of RIIZE.
Anderson took to social media earlier this month, defending himself against criticism and sparking renewed interest in Seunghan's past controversies. The artist revealed that he had "broken my heart" when asked about the recent events involving Seunghan and former WayV member Lucas.
But what triggered Anderson's outburst? A fan inquiry about his awareness of Seunghan's recent troubles, which led to a candid account of his time under training under the now-famous K-pop idol. The artist recalled that Seunghan had been exceptionally kind to him during his early days as a trainee, describing him as "so nice" and leaving a lasting impression.
The timing of Anderson's revelations comes in the wake of recent controversies surrounding Seunghan's personal life. In August 2023, photos surfaced online showing Seunghan kissing a teenage girlfriend in a motel, sparking outrage among fans. A leaked video of Seunghian smoking before debut further fueled the issue. While most of his fans were disappointed by this behavior, many felt that it was unfair to have come at such a young age.
The backlash against Seunghan led to a temporary hiatus for the group RIIZE, which is comprised of seven members, including Shotaro, Eunseok, Sungchan, Wonbin, Sohee, and Anton. In his recent defense, Anderson's account serves as a stark contrast to the tumultuous past of fellow trainee-turned-RIIZE member Seunghan.
Fans are left picking up the pieces, torn between their sympathy for Seunghan's troubled past and concerns about his present behavior. As RIIZE gears up for their next project, one thing is certain: the spotlight will be firmly on the group – but at what cost to their devoted fans?
