Following this, netizens were baffled by the author's post and expressed that members aren't expected to sulk about Seunghan's absence. International fans also chimed in, saying that RIIZE members are still professionals at the end of the day.

Some of them speculated that members may have discussed heavy topics during their bond.

Read their comments below:

•  "Well, were you expecting them to go to Japan and eat sukiyaki while crying?"
•  "Do they think that the members will go online looking sad and miserable? The whole point of being an idol is always looking happy, and if you aren't, you're seen as ungrateful and a brat."
•  "I bet they were able to share some heavy topics while drinking. Don't they have that default gloomy atmosphere?"
•  "How do you expect them to be happy when a member who was with them since debut just left?"

Meanwhile, some disagreed that members were feeling hopeful or upbeat. They also stated that Seunghan's incident was a wake-up call for all members.

•  "They actually looked pissed and annoyed lately."
•  "They don't. If anything, Sungchan looks annoyed and sad nowadays. They always got along well and Seunghan was the team's mood maker, so I hope he can return."
•  "This probably opened their eyes that debuting doesn't mean you're safe or protected. Today it was Seunghan. Tomorrow could be any one of them that gets caught due to leaks or rumors."
•  "I bet they're weeding down their own social circles now. This is probably beyond Seunghan."

Seunghan officially went through an indefinite hiatus on November 22 for numerous controversies. The announcement was made by SM Entertainment, which also declared legal action against malicious content made towards the idol.

As a result, this led RIIZE to continue their promotions as a six-membered group. On the same day (November 22), Seunghan addressed his situation through a letter, saying how he regrets his past actions and how they caused trouble for people.

The idol also apologized to his members, fans, and assured everyone of his self-reflection.
