Hyeri and Han Sohee's Instagram Story today

Hyeri: This is fun

Han Sohee: I don't like someone who has a lover, nor do I give room under the name of a friend, nor do I show interest, nor do I interfere with other's relationships. I like watching 'Transit Love', but it will never take place in my life. I find it fun as well. 

theqoo

-Why are they fighting over Ryu Junyeol?

-What kind of charm does Ryu Junyeol have that two absolutely gorgeous women who are 8 years younger than him fight over him?

-Seriously, I don't know what Han Sohee did wrong here. What's wrong with her last sentence?

-The fact that the subject of this whole drama is Ryu Junyeol feels like a lie to me. 

-Why did she do that to Han Sohee? Han Sohee already denied the rumors. 

-Why did Hyeri do that?

-Please just tell me it's noise marketing for their next project, damn it. 

-Hyeri didn't say anything about Han Sohee, why is she being attacked?

-Han Sohee and Ryu Junyeol are not dating, yet Ryu Junyeol's ex-girlfriend threw some shade on her Instagram story, saying 'This is fun' and unfollowed him. On the other side, Han Sohee is being attacked for getting involved in a dating rumor with him. I can totally see why she's pissed off. 

-It would've been so much better if they could resolve this privately. What is this? It's very heart-breaking. 

-I wonder what Ryu Junyeol is doing and what he's thinking about right now.

-You're telling me the lead character in this whole drama is Ryu Junyeol? Ugh, so boring. 

-Girls... Can't you love yourselves a bit more?

-If Hyeri really did shade Han Sohee, why did she do that to her instead of Ryu Junyeol?

-It's funny that Han Sohee is getting attacked as if she's the one who started throwing some shades on Hyeri when all she did was just give an explanation. What do you expect her to do? Stay quiet when people accuse her of stealing Hyeri's boyfriend?

-I can totally see why Han Sohee is pissed off.

-This reminds me that social media is just a waste of time. 

-Han Sohee should've just stayed quiet...

-What did Hyeri do wrong to deserve this, really...

RIIZE Shotaro's fans are sending protest trucks in front of SM Ent. HQ

The future of the group is dark if the valuable main dancer is being neglected. Protect the precious existence of Shotaro's laughter. 

Why apologize on broadcast when the leader, Shotaro, is not at fault? 

SM 3.0 Center 5 has the worst marketing ever. Shotaro has been cut off not just for once or twice! Stop discriminating against Shotaro!

Center 5 is the source of (fans') anxiety for their worst countermeasures

instiz

-Why are Chinese fans like this?

-I totally understand why they sent protest trucks. But some people might think he did something wrong if fans keep doing this. 

-Honestly, about the apology in the live broadcast... I'd be mad too

-Anyone can send protest trucks...

-Who sent this? Oh, it's written there... Chinese fans

-It's frustrating... well, this too shall pass.

-I really sympathize with the last comment.

-It's upsetting.

- I understand being angry, but if someone who doesn't know sees it briefly, they might think Taro is the problematic one.

-Neglecting the main dancer, I don't quite sympathize with it. Shotaro participated in creating some of the choreography and his work has made headlines. Everyone knows that Shotaro is not being neglected as the main dancer. 

-It's understandable to be angry, but too many truck protests might create backlash.... It would be more effective to withdraw quickly and pursue a different approach.

- I was really annoyed yesterday, but I don't think sending trucks was appropriate... I honestly don't understand the message. I totally agree that he shouldn't have apologized, but I can't empathize with the rest. Just in case, I'm mentioning that Shotaro is my bias.

-Fans might send it because they're upset.

-When did they neglect Taro? Taro performed as the main dancer in year-end stages, SM Concert special stages, etc. He's being treated well.

Seventeen is mentioned on the list + Seventeen's official account retweeted

theqoo 

-Glastonbury Festival? That's crazy...

-Seventeen also posted that on their Instagram story. It's crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-What's up with Seventeen's schedule this year...? I mean, I love it... But they're working so hard...

-I'm asking this because I really don't know... But is that a famous music show?

-They have an encore concert in Incheon in March, an encore concert in Sangam in April, go to Nissan in May, WeverseCon and Glastonbury Festival in June, and Loolapalooza in September. They're also planned to have a comeback in April and they said they were going to have a fanmeeting this year...

-Just how many concerts are they attending this year, seriously...

-Dua Lipa, Coldplay, and... Seventeen...

-They're going to perform at the world's largest music festival, Glastonbury Festival... Wow...

-They're working really hard...

-Whoa, stay healthy Seventeen... Thank you and congratulationsㅜㅜ

-Congratulations, Seventeen🎉 And please stay healthyㅠㅠ

-A Kpop idol performing at Glastonbury Festival? That's incredibleㅋㅋㅋ It's really insane. Aside from that, why are this year's headliners so lame? Dua Lipa / Coldplay / Caesar / Shania Twain? Last year it was Arctic Monkeys / Guns N' Roses / Elton John / Lizzo, like that...

-Seventeen seems to have a lot of concerts this year, amazing.

-I'm not sure what it is, but I searched it and it seems to be the number-one festival in the world.

Explanation from Anton's Another Female Friend

 1. A different female friend of Anton's (Not the one who clarified yesterday) tagged Anton in a post 259 weeks ago on Instagram. Now, rumors are circulating that she is his real girlfriend. This has caused him to face criticism. 

The first account is Anton's friend's Instagram, the second one is her sister's Instagram

Basically, they're talking about how the whole thing goes viral in the K-pop community and they find it absurd because they're just friends. Moreover, they find it even more absurd because it's all caused by a picture of them holding hands. 

theqoo

-259 weeks ago equals to 5 years and 7 months agoㅋㅋ That post was from 2018. 

-So idols are not supposed to have any friends at all?? This is crossing the lines. What crime did Anton commit to deserve this? People are treating him like a criminal, harassing him, doxxing his close acquaintances... I don't understand what kind of behavior is this.

-K-pop is indeed a breeding ground for lunatics.

-Why are K-pop fans becoming so extreme?

-Are idols not allowed to have opposite-sex friends? Seriously, this is so creepy... Why is there such an uproar over holding hands in a photo? It's so embarrassing, seriouslyㅠㅠㅠ

-I feel embarrassed just watching this. Why do people interfere when it's clear they were just friends? It's weird that those trying to stop it end up being the ones criticized.

-Idols are so pitiful... Even their personal relationships have to be controlled by others. 

-Do idols need to cut off all of their relationships with others so fans will feel relieved?? 

-Even as an adult, if someone like a guy I've been taking swimming lessons with every day for a year and became really close... Holding hands to say goodbye after the lesson, holding hands wouldn't feel awkward at all. From the comments, it seems like they've been swimming together since they were young, so it's inevitable they became close friends.

-Being an idol is such an extreme job.

-Oh man, why is there such a fuss about a photo of two friends holding hands?

-It must be terrifying for non-celebrities to get caught up in this. Just thinking about people going through my Instagram account like they're trying to catch a mouse...

-If they're checking up posts to 259 weeks back, they seriously need to go to the hospital.

-These crazy people are really scary... Stay strong, Anton.

-People who overly react to idol relationships seem like they need mental therapy. How much must they lose themselves to be so deeply immersed in someone else's relationships?

-Twitter is full of crazy people; they need to be sued. They're going way too far.

-I can't even remember what happened 259 days ago.

-Come on, what's wrong with just holding hands with a friend? What kind of lives are these people living?

SM Ent. Announces to Take Legal Action Against Malicious Commenters (With No Settlement)

안녕하세요. SM엔터테인먼트입니다. pic.twitter.com/zfLtnwPSnu

— RIIZE (@RIIZE_official) March 13, 2024

Hello, this is SM Entertainment.

We are currently witnessing the rampant spread of false information about RIIZE members, primarily across social media platforms and online communities. Moreover, we are deeply concerned about the persisting illegal activities, which include personal attacks, defamation, and malicious slander, surpassing the boundaries of acceptable behavior.

These actions constitute severe crimes that severely tarnish the reputation and dignity of our artists. We are currently diligently reviewing all collected evidence and intend to take decisive legal action against the perpetrators without compromise or leniency.

Furthermore, we are troubled by the ongoing invasion of privacy targeting individuals associated with our artists, particularly their families and acquaintances. This includes acts such as persistent stalking, verbal abuse, insults, and sexual harassment.

As these behaviors are violations of individual rights and constitute criminal offenses, it is crucial for everyone to understand that legal measures are available. We earnestly urge everyone to exercise caution to prevent any unwarranted involvement in such regrettable incidents.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all the fans who support RIIZE, and we pledge to continue our utmost efforts in safeguarding our artists in the future.

Thank you. 

theqoo

-It was absolutely a mess on Twitter... SM needed to take legal actionㅠㅠ

-It is seriously insane. Let's sue them all. 

-No settlement. No leniency. Good. 

-I witnessed people not only stalking RIIZE's members, but also their families and acquaintances. It's really scary. I'm not a fan, but I sincerely hope they will get caught. 

-Twitter was absolutely a mess. I've never even tweeted anything about RIIZE, but some weird tweets about them kept popping up on my timeline. Some of them were clearly false information. They all need to be sued. 

-Please hurry up and take legal action... It's really tiring to mute every single crazy fans on my timeline everytime I refresh itㅠㅠ

-Twitter is unbelievably chaotic... They need to get a grip. 

-Instead of just announcing they will be taking legal action, they should also inform about the process and results. Regardless, I hope those people will get the punishment they deserve. 

-Please... Please sue them all. It's driving me insane. 

-The sasaengs need to be controlled. They're crossing the lines. Please protect the artists. 

-JYP needs to learn from SM and do something too...

-Please don't just announce with words, show us the results...

-I've been waiting for this announcement since it was getting chaotic out thereㅠㅠ Sue them all!

-Twitter is seriously a paradise for lunatic people...

-They should start from Twitter. I've been seeing tweets exposing and ridiculing the members' family and friends on my timeline for days.

-SM Ent. did really well. They all really need to be sued.
