RIIZE Seunghan Dubbed as 'HYBE Killer' for 'Dragging' Company's Artists in Controversies
On November 22, netizens established an online discussion titled "Seunghan is seriously a HYBE killer."
In the discussion, the author posted a screenshot from a tweet by an X (Twitter) user, who called out Seunghan for the newest issues involving artists under HYBE.

The author also mentioned Youngseo of I'LL-IT, who is a K-pop trainee under BELIFT LAB and is known for being a participant in HYBE's survival show "R U Next?"
For additional context, netizens raised their eyebrows at the HYBE trainee for being mentioned in an Instagram story, which they claimed to be Seunghan's alleged private account. However, this was countered as false by international fans.
On November 17, an anonymous internet user claimed that BOYNEXTDOOR Taesan and NewJeans Haerin would be exposed in real-time, while also mentioning Seunghan.
The OP translated:
"Seunghan's controversy > Exposed Soobin > Made in Abyss controversy > Exposed Woozi. Because of him, five groups from HYBE have been directly and indirectly affected. SEVENTEEN Woozi, TXT Soobin, LE SSERAFIM Eunchae, I'LL-IT Youngseo, and BOYNEXTDOOR Taesan."
"I concluded that Seunghan was a member intentionally brought in by SM to jeopardize HYBE."
Netizens debated the case of Woozi and Soobin. However, they also claimed that the other HYBE artists were frustrated for having their names involved in controversies.
Read their comments below:
- "But Woozi and Soobin did that to themselves though."
- "It's seriously just overinflated ego, and the people who are suffering the most are RIIZE members, who can't even get new fans because he's blocking the path."
- "In the BRIIZE fandom, the atmosphere used to be good, but now they're divided, fighting internally against i-roaches, and being criticized internally by other fandoms."
- "Minji, Taesan, Yeongseo, and Eunchae must be frustrated. They didn't do anything wrong. I get that no one's hating them, but they must be annoyed with their names being dragged into this."
