RIIZE's Seunghan's leaked smoking video sparks debate online

RIIZE's Seunghan has been made it to the headlines after a new viral clip emerged, showcasing him allegedly smoking in public. The leaked video, the second incident within days, has sparked uproar among fans, stirring discussions across various online platforms and communities.

Was Seunghan smoking on the street?

The recurrence of leaks targeting Seunghan has left fans baffled and deeply concerned. This latest controversy depicting the RIIZE member smoking on the street has fueled discussions among fans, leaving many perplexed and questioning the incessant targeting of the idol.

In the most recent leaked clip, Seunghan was reportedly engaged in an Instagram live conversation with Hong Eunchae of LE SSERAFIM, accompanied by TXT's Soobin. Fans swiftly came to Seunghan's defense, asserting that the conversation revolved around personal matters without any derogatory intent towards Eunchae. However, a subsequent leaked video emerged, purportedly showing the idol smoking in a public setting.

How did fans react to the leaked video?

The leaked video, briefly surfacing on social media platforms before being removed, was captured through screenshots by vigilant netizens. This resurgence of controversy has reignited heated debates online, with users expressing varying sentiments. The sentiments ranged from disappointment to critiques of Seunghan's alleged recurrent involvement in controversial incidents.

Seunghan's history of making headlines for unfavourable reasons dates back to a previous incident in August. The K-pop idol had issued a personal apology in response to leaked photos of himself with a former girlfriend, allegedly taken in a hotel setting, further adding to the idol's publicised controversies.

Following the video, fans wrote, "I may not be a RIIZE fan, but I don't support Seunghan leaving the group, haha. From pre-debut kissing photos at a motel to openly criticising another idol and mentioning a female idol as 'my Eunchae~,' he has quite an eventful history even before his debut", "i'm so worried for seunghan cos that leaker still walking around free and sm ain't doing shit about it”, “moas might actually be the most sweetest fandom in kpop like they don’t even stan riize but genuinely care for seunghan especially the big soobin accounts like they are making links for him and everything +"

While some fans expressed concern for Seunghan's repeated entanglement in leaked controversies, suggesting he exercise caution within his inner circle, others criticised the idol for purportedly engaging in such behaviour habitually.
