SM Launches New Boy Group “RIIZE”: All About the Members Profile, Age, Instagram, and Slight Controversy

Following a series of lawsuits, scandals, and severe issues, one of Kpop’s giant entertainment companies SM Entertainment finally launched a new boy group after 7 years of debut absence.

On July 31, Korean media outlet Sports Kyunghyang reported that SM Entertainment had announced the debut of their new boy group. The report further revealed that SM’s new boy group would debut very soon in September with the name: ‘RIIZE’ (pronounced same as ‘rise’).

RIIZE is a new boy group from SM Entertainment, launched seven years after the debut of their most recent project, NCT, in 2016. The group’s name, “RIIZE,” combines the word “rise” and “realize”, which means “a team that grows together and realizes their dreams”.

According to SM Entertainment, RIIZE is a new Kpop boy group consisting of 7 members with top-tier skills and visuals. And this group will soon present its very own unique style of music and new genre: “emotional pop”.

Simply put, SM Entertainment defines “emotional pop” as a distinct genre where the members are expected to express a rich array of emotions through their music.

As “emotional pop rookies”, RIIZE will capture inspiration from various daily experiences. Through their music, they will channel these emotions, aspiring to evolve into “emotional pop artists” who resonate with music enthusiasts worldwide.

Together, RIIZE will rise to the top of world music and realize their dreams.

However, given the controversies surrounding the group and its members, will the new SM boy group, RIIZE, truly rise or will it only falter?

The SEVERE Controversies Revolving the New Boy Group’s Name and Members

Still, despite all the hype and viral enthusiasm about this new SM boy group, apparently, RIIZE has already ignited various severe controversies. And it all happens even before the new boy group makes its debut.

The Name “RIIZE”

Following the announcement of the group’s name, South Korean netizens expressed mixed reactions about what the name entails.

A post on South Korea’s online forum TheQoo revealed mixed reactions towards the group’s name. While some of the netizens like how RIIZE is a simple yet deeply-thought name, others are more concerned about its existing image.

That is because RIIZE is pronounced the same as ‘rise’. In South Korea, this name is closely related and deeply embedded with the name “Ryze”, a character from their most popular game franchise, League of Legends.

Moreover, League of Legends has also released a song with the same title: “Rise”, capturing the popularity and iconic image of the name.

These existing brands then trigger controversies as netizens question SM’s creativity in building a new iconic brand name.

Member Sohee and His Controversial Past

On top of everything, the most severe controversy now revolves around one of SM new boy group members, RIIZE Sohee.

Another post from TheQoo emerged on August 1, revealing the controversial past of RIIZE member Sohee. According to the community post, RIIZE Sohee had turned off his popularity among fans even before his debut because of his unfavorable past habits.

The post further revealed that RIIZE Sohee’s face appeared in multiple photos of a hunting bar in Jungang-dong called Glam. And for the record, a hunting bar (hunting pocha) is a place where strangers meet and hook up.

Additionally, Korean netizens noticed that one of Sohee’s friends appeared to be wearing Irezumi-style tatoos. In South Korea, this type of tatoo is famous for being close relations to gangsters.

“If it’s this bad, not only does he not have a conscience, he does not have any brain!

If you have dirty past, you should’ve excluded yourself from debuting.”

@im1ohnny on Twitter.

And most importantly, a now-deleted post from Twitter revealed his using Korean swearing word as wordplay:

“At our starting point.” = sibaljeom, a wordplay with Korean’s equivalent of f*ck, ssibaljeom.
