In a now deleted video purportedly featuring RIIZE Seunghan smoking a cigarette has ignited a wave of speculation and concern within the K-pop community.

The leaked footage, posted on an anonymous Twitter account on November 17, has sparked renewed discussions about the group's image and the challenges they've faced since their debut earlier this year under SM Entertainment.

Leaked Video Puts RIIZE Seunghan in the Spotlight

RIIZE, introduced as SM Entertainment's first group outside the NCT system, faced controversies even before their official debut, with some members entangled in pre-debut issues.

The latest video of Seunghan allegedly smoking adds another layer to the group's post-debut challenges, fueling ongoing discussions about the impact of such controversies on their burgeoning career.

In the short clip shared on Twitter, an individual, believed to be Seunghan, is seen walking outside while holding a lit cigarette. The video raises questions about the image that RIIZE is projecting and how it aligns with the expectations set for K-pop idols.

The same user also shared a photo featuring a person, again believed to be Seunghan, with a cigarette in his mouth and sunglasses on.

This incident follows closely on the heels of a private conversation leak between Soobin and Seunghan just a day prior. The leaked conversation stirred allegations of disrespect towards LE SSERAFIM Eunchae.

These successive leaks have thrust Seunghan into the spotlight for the fourth time since his debut, leaving fans concerned and speculating whether he is intentionally being targeted by someone in his close circle.

The repeated instances of leaked content have raised eyebrows, with fans expressing apprehensions about the motives behind these revelations.

Netizens' comments:

• "This is so disappointing. Seunghan had so much potential. I hope RIIZE can address this and move forward positively."
• "Cannot believe Seunghan got caught in this controversy. Hope RIIZE can overcome this setback and continue making music. "
• "Is this the end of Seunghan's career or just a bump in the road? The industry is tough, but fans can be forgiving. "
• "Wait someone leak his private info before???? Damn what is sm doing man ....I hope he is ok"
• "He needs to drop whoever it is. I would tell each person a "secret" each secret is different but still juicy and whatever is leaked will at least tell who the possible fake person is."
• "I really hope he cut ties with whoever that is when they leaked the first thing, because that ain't no friend..."

The possibility of Seunghan being deliberately targeted by someone close to him continues to be a topic of discussion among fans, further amplifying the challenges RIIZE faces in navigating their nascent career amidst controversies.

As the video circulates and discussions unfold, the future implications for RIIZE and Seunghan's image remain uncertain, casting a shadow over the group's trajectory in the competitive world of K-pop.
