K-netizens have considered THESE trainees to be better additions in RIIZE instead of Sohee and Seunghan, who both have caught negative pre-debut spotlight.

Here's what people are saying.

K-netz Suggest SM Rookies Sion & Yuushi as Better RIIZE Members Than Sohee, Seunghan

The original author also stated that these trainees would've been perfect for RIIZE and wondered why SM Entertainment would give "controversial" trainees the chance to debut.

It stated:

"I watched both of their 'SM Rookies' videos and their skills were fine. It's such as shame that they're assigned to NCT Tokyo.

Why would SM Entertainment leave out kids like them and debut controversial kids?"

This generated a slew of comments from fellow netizens, who agreed with the claims. Netters expressed how adding Yushi would do well since he can create a dynamic with Japanese member Shotaro in RIIZE.

•  "Yushi really looks okay. He'll do fine because he and Shotaro can be RIIZE's Japanese members together, and they can rely on one another as well."
•  "Yushi is fine though."
•  "They seriously wasted Yushi since he has the visuals that Koreans like too."
•  Yushi is the real deal. He looked more handsome on broadcast than pictures. BoA also said Yushi was her favorite out of all the trainees."

Meanwhile, some insisted SM to get rid of Sohee and Seunghan from the group. They voiced out that SM should omit the plans for NCT Tokyo's debut and decide to add Sion and Yushi in RIIZE. However, others opposed since Sion and Yushi are great additions for NCT Tokyo.

• "Huh, can we just get rid of the SHs? I hope SM Entertainment can just add these two rookies in (RIIZE) and scrap NCT Tokyo."
• "SM, please think about this thoroughly."
• "Seriously, they wasted Sion and Yushi."
• "But in NCT Tokyo, these two were the only ones who had presence."
