In the realm of K-pop, anticipation often collides with fervent curiosity, and such has been the case for SM Entertainment's latest sensation, RIIZE.

Rapidly, K-netizens converged within the online community, contributing their perspectives to this unfolding discourse. 

Netizens' comments: 

• "I must say, their photographic prowess is rather impeccable, with Sung Chan as the possible exception."  
• "If their real-life counterparts bear even a passing resemblance to these images, their good looks are assured."  
• "Oh damn I thought it was video content but makes sense to have the concept photos. "
• "It's all over, why does it look like that?"
• " There are many artificial human figures."
• "I think they're pretty good looking if they look like that," 
• "I guess all of them are f***n good at taking photos. Except for Sung Chan, the rest are um....."
• "What fate befell Sung Chan's hairstyle?" 
•  "To what extent were the earlier photos enhanced?" 
• "I think it's because SM is known for picking idols with really crazy visuals. So they just fall short of expectations. It's not that they are ugly."
  
• "The IG snippet of Anton producing is actually he is remixing RIIZE songs (with Wonbin guitar)."
• "They kind of look like a gang of wannabe gangsters from the early 2000s,"  

In the midst of the ongoing discussions, a certain acknowledgment surfaced for the distinctive aesthetics that are synonymous with SM Entertainment. 

This acknowledgment arose within the context of a spectrum of expectations that swayed delicately between satisfaction and dissatisfaction.
