1/ TO ALL OT7 BRIIZE:
It's more important than ever to be brave and vocal about our support for all 7 members of RII7E!
I hope that BRIIZE at fancons will successfully chant "SEVEN RIIZE" loudly for the boys, C5 staff, ot6 fans, and the world to hear 🔊
Pls share 🙏
“Member Seunghan will not be participating in this comeback; he is preparing to return to activities later this year. The legal case is being pursued, and will take more time. Thank you for your continued support of RIIZE” …etc
THATS ALL WE NEED, SM.
Give us a statement!!
“if he’s not back by…”
…Christmas
…New year
…Comeback(s)
…Fancon
…1st anniversary
…Birthday
How many more times are they gonna do this to us?
Another comeback? Another end of year awards?
So fucking unfair
This is a banner for LA fancon.
If members read this and hold it up, NO one can say they were “tricked” or the words were “tiny like beans.”
All 7 members faces are fully visible with names in large font. It’s a clear message of support that no one can deny.
No one in Seoul could escape from Seunghan these past months.
Take the subway? Seunghan.
Take a taxi? Seunghan.
Took a bus? Seunghan.
Walk along the street? Seunghan.
It’s inconceivable for a rookie artist to garner this much support. It just shows how loved he is.
You know it’s serious when even Japanese briize aren’t afraid to say his name at concert…
Only people who hate Seunghan still use the “don’t make the boys uncomfortable” excuse now.
Theories:
1. Talk Saxy ot7 is only included bc SM hopes to stop boycott, keep stringing along fans 🫤
2. Talk Saxy ot7 bc mini album will be ot7, all re-recorded with Seunghan, his return to be announced 😍
3. Re-recorded Talk Saxy ot6 version, ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE ❌
the constant flip between being intensely proud and happy for the boys on their fancon and being depressed and missing Seunghan is giving me emotional whiplash
It might be disrespectful if the chant was “Give us Seunghan”
But it’s not.
The chant is “RIIZE IS 7”
You know, for the precious and perfect team that debuted, that Sungchan cried tears of joy about, that Eunseok said to love all 7 of them? Yeah, that’s 7.
Thai briize have truly raised the bar, they set an example for all countries to follow.
This is what it means to love RII7E, all 7 of them.

#SEUNGHAN
Everyone please hold on to your seatbelt.
SH included on mini album copyrights 🥹
Possible SH keychain doll blueprint👏
Every time some good or hopeful information comes out about SH, we usually get some discouraging event/bad news afterwards 😭
All it takes is to say:
"Member Seunghan will not be participating on this (single/album/fancon tour). Thank you for your continued support"
But instead they treat him like a dirty secret that no one can mention, erase his hard work, and rewrite Riize's meaningful history.
I hope everyone knows "RIIZE is 7" is not a boycott slogan. It's also not hate, not uncomfortable, not an attack.
"RIIZE is 7" is a simple statement of fact about the group's concept we fell in love with:
A team of 7 members rising and realizing their dreams together.
IF one day, SH goes solo and asks us to support him, you bet I will.
But Seunghan himself said that his dream is RIIZE.
Until he says otherwise, that's what I'm fighting for - his return to his team of 7. His friends, his brothers, his teammates.
the day I finally see the Seunghan return announcement:
-buy the albums, merch
-watch all the MVs I missed
-refollow official accounts
-rejoin stationhead streaming
-get a weverse membership
-send fanletters welcoming SH back
PLEASE
@SMTOWNGLOBAL
I WANT TO BE A NORMAL FAN AGAIN!
If one of my beloved teammates had his privacy invaded, was bullied/slandered online, and had to pretend he doesn’t exist for over 7 months…
Then it would be SO RELIEVING to hear loud and clear from fans who still love and support the WHOLE team, especially for him 🧡
TO ALL OT7 BRIIZE:
Ever since the Music Bank "RIIZE is 7" chant project didn't work out, I've been thinking a lot about how it could be done confidently. So I made a little demo. Pls share 🙏
How would you chant "RIIZE is 7"?
(POLL in the comments below the video👇)
It’s so sad when big ot7 accounts are silent about amazing Seunghan and OT7 projects coming to reality. Lots of money, hard work, and planning.
These moments we should be excited and united together cause we share the same goal.
Silence speaks volumes, and not in a good way.
SM acts like he doesn't exist.
His own members can't mention him.
He hasn't promoted or been seen in public for months.
That's why 2x daily Seunghan hours is so special. That's why huge projects are important.
His company won't do their job, so FANS will keep his name alive.
Every time SM erases and discredits Seunghan and tries to rebrand RllZE as 6 is a reminder why we boycott.
Nothing has changed since November. In fact, it's only gotten worse.
If anyone has gotten tired of boycotting or forgot why, now is the time to get serious again.
It's the 22nd in Korea. He's been on hiatus for 6 months.
I know many expect something today. If there's good news, we'll all celebrate 🙏
But if there's no news, please don't be too disappointed. We will continue like always - fighting for Seunghan 🫧
Standing with RII7E 🧡
Before any ot6ers say "it's rude/disrespectful":
The boys perform for 2 hours
2 hrs to hear the cheers, screams, fanchants, singing along
2 hrs to enjoy a stadium filled w/ lightsticks, happy fans
You can spare 10 SECONDS to cheer for a beloved MEMBER who couldn't be there.
Remember this, everyone?
Where are the 4.7k who liked and reposted this boycott statement? 9 full pages explaining why we need to boycott, why Seunghan and RII7E members are mistreated. It’s only gotten worse since then. Still no statement from SM.
Did these words mean nothing?
There’s only 1 version of Talk Saxy and that’s the one with all 7 members of RII7E.
There’s only 1 version of Siren and that’s the one with all 7 members of RII7E.
There’s only 10 episodes of R&R and those are the ones with all 7 members of RII7E.
Why LA means a lot to RII7E
-First trip together abroad
-Filmed Siren, Memories, Get A Guitar here
-KCON LA: debut stage introduction to the world
-LA BRIIZE gave the most passionate welcome and loudest, heartwarming "7 RIIZE" fanchant at fancon (coming soon)
200 days of erasure and disrespect.
200 days of missed opportunities to pursue his dream, travel the world, bond with his team, meet new briize.
200 days of silence from SM, ignoring concerned fans, and lack of protection.
That's why I'm boycotting this comeback.
Going to support a friend's concert? Going shopping? Giving out an autograph to fan?
That is NOT the face of someone attending cram school studying 24/7 to get into Uni.
This is why Seunghan and OT7 projects are so important.
This is why chanting “RIIZE IS 7” is so important.
Because ot6 branding and lack of Seunghan for the past 8 months is overwhelming. Your twitter may show him lots, but in reality there’s no such thing as “too much Seunghan”
One reason I love writing the notes so much, is it's actually hard to be in Korea and see RIIZE everywhere without Seunghan.
They're on busses, food, drinks, signs, always missing 1 person. It's always this mix of emotion that starts with excitement and finishes with sadness.
Can't help but imagine if SM had protected Seunghan, said F the haters RIIZE is 7 back in November, we could've had 6 blissful months of RII7E following their dreams, traveling the world, and a united briize fandom all get excited for cbs and content.
We're in the wrong timeline.
BRIIZE at Mexico Fancon, I said it before and I’ll say it again:
Chanting “RIIZE is 7” or “Seven RIIZE” is a simple message of love for ALL members.
It means “BRIIZE are unified and always support your precious team”
It is NOT a protest, NOT uncomfortable, NOT an attack.
For any ot7 briize who are supporting the cb…
Please also be vocal about Seunghan. Remind everyone, esp new fans, how loved he is, how important to the team he is, how much we are waiting for him.
Don’t let this cb produce a new batch of briize who only know ot6.
When Seunghan comes back I hope SM will let him acknowledge all the fan projects done for him.
Maybe not the trucks, but at least the ads, handwritten letters, buses, fan cafes, LED billboards, taxis, magazines, etc...
We just want to know it reached him 🥹
20240502 SUPPORT TRUCK
CHEERING FOR SEUNGHAN
CHEERING FOR RIIZE
CHEERING FOR CENTER 5
The truck has arrived.
The weather is so good today.
Photos
These were taken by the truck driver using his phone. I will post photos and video taken with dslr later. Not sure when, kinda
Sometimes I think the "hints" given by the boys (7s, choreo spaces, bubbles, SH outfits...) are more about their love for SH and their team of 7, and less about his imminent return.
"We see your support for SH and we're right with you" rather than "He's coming back really soon"
Istg SM better be planning the most elaborate comeback for Seunghan after all these months…
I’m talking documentaries, backlog selfies and vlogs, rerelease all songs and content with him back in, fireworks, parades, not to mention the mugshot of the leakers in jail
Nothing has changed, SM is still silent on Seunghan's status and protection.
We've been doing an amazing job making our voices heard around the world. KEEP GOING.
Let all of RII7E, Center 5, and ot6 fans know how much we love, support, and want Seunghan back.
anyone who has the audacity to yell “riize is 6” might as well scream “I hate your friend” straight to the member’s faces.
don’t be shy, show your bias what a disgusting person you are.
SM learned from the intense backlash against ot6 Siren and didn’t dare to do it again for Talk Saxy. They want to $ell to both ot6 and ot7 fans. They are still playing both sides.
There’s still no statement, no legal protection, no clarification. That’s what the boycott is for.
LA BRIIZE, the stakes are so high. SM is doing everything to erase our memories of Seunghan and our beloved 7 stars.
Please show RII7E how strong our love and support is for their team - NO member left behind. Let SM know we mean business. Show the world that LOVE > hate.
Do you see the utter joy and elation this fandom has at a simple sighting of Seunghan? Just to see his smile again?
Imagine the euphoric celebration we'll have when we see his return announcement. The first selfie he posts. His first photo back with his team. I can't wait!! 😭😭
The sad ➡️angry ➡️apathetic fan pipeline is real and SM needs to realize it.
Sad + angry fans still make noise and give you engagement. They still care.
Apathetic fans don’t gaf anymore and leave because they’re tired of being tired.
Mubank Antwerp OT7 chant didn't work cuz it was a multigrp event.
Seoul OT7 chant didn't work cuz...ya know kbriize, no one expected anything.
I predict Tokyo will be similar bc cultural sensitivity norms.
But Mexico City and LA briize... please do your best!!💪
1/ TO ALL OT7 BRIIZE:
It's more important than ever to be brave and vocal about our support for all 7 members of RII7E!
I hope that BRIIZE at fancons will successfully chant "SEVEN RIIZE" loudly for the boys, C5 staff, ot6 fans, and the world to hear 🔊
Pls share 🙏
Please take this boycott seriously.
I hope everyone who said they would boycott hasn't forgotten why. THIS is the comeback we said we would boycott to send a message to SM.
Things have only gotten worse since the boycott statement was released; I still stand by every word of it.
All the money donated, all the hard work by organizers, planners, graphic designers... him seeing it makes it all worth it.
The projects, the banners, flags, ads, chants, our love, our support, our hope for him to return - it reaches him.
She said that one of her friends was near SM Entertainment building looking at the 1st anniversary flag for Seunghan and then saw a guy looking like Seunghan. She said he was thin, wearing a hat, a mask, Adidas pants and his eyes looked like Seunghan’s.
By erasing Seunghan, SM gives leakers/defamers more power.
Since they feel they can "take down" 1 member, it gives them confidence to keep doing it, to try again.
That's why fighting for Seunghan's protection and rightful status as a member in the group is FOR all the members.
I said this before but it’s really sad that we have to get bare minimum “he’s alive” updates from blurry unconfirmed sighting photos.
SM has been SILENT for over HALF A YEAR, even after incredibly loud pleas for an update or statement from fans.
"i miss him too, but.."
"I liked SH too, but.."
"I'm ot7 too, but.."
...then proceeds to spew disgusting ot6 talking points to trash the efforts of fans who actually care about SH and want to hold SM accountable for mistreatment, lack of protection, erasure, etc.
i completely understand your concerns, but here's my thoughts:
under normal circumstances, I agree this would be insensitive.
but in the context of 8+ month erasure of SH, it's not only acceptable, but important to highlight he exists and is a well loved and respected member.
as someone who has fought for seunghan since the very beginning and cares about him very deeply, i am asking you to please seriously consider my words as i only say this with good intentions in my heart and i only want the best for riize
WE WILL WAIT FOR YOU SEUNGHAN
WE WILL WAIT FOR YOU SEUNGHAN
WE WILL WAIT FOR YOU SEUNGHAN
WE WILL WAIT FOR YOU SEUNGHAN
WE WILL WAIT FOR YOU SEUNGHAN
WE WILL WAIT FOR YOU SEUNGHAN
WE WILL WAIT FOR YOU SEUNGHAN
WE WILL WAIT FOR YOU SEUNGHAN
WE WILL WAIT FOR YOU SEUNGHAN
The boys/C5 staff will prob never hear “RIIZE is 7” in Korea. Not likely in Japan either.
That’s why we’re desperate to voice our love for their team of 7 in these rare opportunities.
They deserve to hear fans who still support every member, and haven’t given up on their friend.
No Seunghan? Not even a statement?
Then no albums, no lightstick, no merch, no streaming, no voting, no interactions. I'm sticking to my word.
RIIZING AS 7

@SMTOWNGLOBAL
WE ARE STILL BOYCOTTING because nothing has changed. Center 5 still erases Seunghan and disrespectfully rewrites history as 6 members.
They are still silent. Still ignoring the voices of concern, the huge fan projects, the requests for a simple statement. They have no excuse.
“Why u still mention Seunghan on 1st anniv? Just let them celebrate”
Because there are “fans” across the world are celebrating it without him, using pictures that crop him out, sending lovely messages to the group that exclude him.
He’s still a member. It’s his anniversary too.
Theories:
1. Talk Saxy ot7 is only included bc SM hopes to stop boycott, keep stringing along fans 🫤
2. Talk Saxy ot7 bc mini album will be ot7, all re-recorded with Seunghan, his return to be announced 😍
3. Re-recorded Talk Saxy ot6 version, ALL HELL BREAKS LOOSE ❌
If Mexico briize can pull off the fan chant successfully, then LA fancon briize will have more confidence.
But if they can’t do it, then the stakes are even higher for LA to do it. I’m really hoping for the best 🤞🙏😭
Buying albums, resume streaming, voting for music shows, interacting with official accounts again…
Seunghan’s return WILL have a huge effect for the world to see.
Indonesia briize, make us proud!! 🥹
Don't listen to the haters and ot6ers.
"RIIZE IS 7" is a simple, beautiful message of love and support to the WHOLE group, including every member 🧡

Thank you so much RIIZEUSA!!
This is such a cool and creative way to show our love for Seunghan and RII7E. SM will know that RIIZE IS 7!!
You’ve gotten a lot of undeserved pushback and suspicion over this year, but you stayed persistent and kept moving forward 💪🧡
Associating an innocent person with a real disgusting, harmful situation going on in SK bc of "vibes" is literally defamation.
people project awful things on idols (whose members, former classmates, teachers, have all praised his kindness and character) to justify hate+bullying.
Let’s all start tagging RIIZE official account and SMTOWN account in Seunghan hour posts!
Let him know we’d love to see him for RII7E 1st Anniversary 🥹
그냥 제 의견일 뿐이지만, 당분간 seunghan hour에 smtown과 RIIZE 공식 X계정 태그하는 거 어떨까요?
RIIZE의 1주년에 승한이도 멤버들과 함께할 수 있도록 촉구하는 메시지도 같이 넣으면 좋을 거 같습니다.
저는 8/26 seunghan hour(KST) 부터 해볼게요.
Whether staff are filming it to show to RIIZE backstage, send to Seunghan back home, show demand to SM higher ups…
We need to keep doing it in every country, bolder and louder.
Fighting for Seunghan and a complete RII7E does not make us solo stans, antis, akgaes, or whatever they want to label us.
It makes us decent human beings and actual BRIIZE who love and support ALL members.
Unlike them, whose selfish, apathetic actions speak for themselves.
Regardless of posters or banners, the most important thing is your VOICE.
I hope all PH briize will be so loud that no one would describe it as "small but mighty crew"
Instead, I hope the description is "the entire venue was filled with briize chanting RIIZE IS 7!"
We cannot support a comeback that has continually erased and discredited Seunghan without explanation or clarification.
Give a statement about his status in RIIZE and legal action to protect him, or face consequences.

TO ALL BRIIZE: Non-boycotter and boycotter alike
NEW #️⃣s starting May 22 10PM KST
The old #️⃣s have been exhausted and have no chance to trend anymore.
A divided fandom using 2 sets of #️⃣s reduces chances even more.
Let's unify and show the world that BRIIZE stand with RII7E 💪
All the planning, organizing, cross-cultural communication, and effort to produce these projects by FANS show how loved Seunghan is.
Literally TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS have been donated and spent by generous and passionate fans.
@SMTOWNGLOBAL
will you answer us??
One side supports the whole team, sends love and to all members. Especially a member who needs extra support in an unfair situation.
The other side bullies and calls for withdrawal of a member, destroy the team, betraying a member. Hurting their friend.
Who is disrespectful?
We engage with fancon clips because it's an opportunity to voice our support for ALL the boys.
However, don't be mistaken. We are STILL BOYCOTTING this mini album comeback as long as SM remains silent on Seunghan. This is the LEAST we can do after all he's been through.
its hardest waiting when you don't know how long, no date, no countdown, no finish line, no light at the end of the tunnel
this is how SM plays with, and destroys, the anxious and overthinking minds of fans waiting for SH each day they don't give a simple statement
Seunghan is the Talk Saxy King. They better not mess with his hard work. We were already robbed of his behind recordings, this would just be sacrilegious.
LA briize, have fun and be safe!
In all your passion and energy for the boys, remember that ot7 briize and hjjs are being watched by the world.
P.s. no briize mugshots or controversies tomorrow morning please 🙏
This is all mentally draining... exhausting really.
But whenever I see photos or edits with Seunghan's smile, RII7E's old goofy interactions, or BRIIZE's passionate fan projects, I regain just enough strength for another day.

Im just waiting for Seunghan to come back and see ot6ers SCRAMBLE on whether they will continue to:
-hate a member of the group they stan
-hate a good friend/brother of their bias
-be everything that’s wrong with idol fan culture (unrealistic expectations, rumor mills, akgaeism)
In regards to the spaces/gaps on stage…
I’ve never taken the boys to mean “he’s coming back soon”
I take it as “we love him too, but we can’t talk about him, so we show respect to his spot/position in our beloved team”
Fans have had to promote, protect, defend, and encourage Seunghan for over 6 months now. He's still getting harassed and defamed every other day.
@SMTOWNGLOBAL
where are you? What happened to protecting your artists? DO YOUR JOB.
When I see a positive message like this, I am reminded that at the end of the day, no matter how angry and confused we are, we want the best for Seunghan. And Center 5 is responsible for Seunghan.
I hope they might respond.
Thank you, 2nd chance!!

How it’s really going:
Argue about boycott ➡️ witchhunt and villainize each other ➡️ sabotage boycott ➡️ broken fandom + still no statement 😢👎
How does a troll account with 10 followers make a disgusting, defamatory post that gets 30k+ views?
When people quote repost, reply, comment, interact - the algorithm shows that filth to more and more people.
Please stop. Just report the post, report the user, and BLOCK.
Don’t forget!!
We are boycotting everything in this comeback until either Seunghan returns or SM releases a statement clarifying his status as an RII7E member and the protective legal proceedings.

@SMTOWNGLOBAL
1. People are allowed to have preferences (obv a lot of briize share it)
2. Not liking a song (genre, lyric, production, style, etc) says NOTHING of appreciating hard work of members
3. Only 1 of those songs is RE-RECORDED ver that erases the hard work of a member, and U know it.
When someone criticizes the boycott without ANY mention of Seunghan’s mistreatment, constant erasure, invasion of privacy, or silence by SM, I immediately stop listening.
You have NO credibility speaking when you don’t even recognize or acknowledge the severity of the problem.
Riizeusa is working their ass off with other fanbases to get this huge project for SH and ot7 into reality… while riizefolder still hasn’t done anything with the money fans donated for SH in their mythical “ot7 project” MONTHS later.
So NO one better talk bad about riizeusa.
Remember when we used to flood Weverse on Fridays? Can we all do something like that again? Maybe wednesdays
Send loving messages, post favorite Seunghan pics, sh fancam vids, fav ot7 moments. Send fan letters, report ot6 posts, etc.
Just because the hashtags have changed, the situation hasn't.
We are still boycotting this mini-album comeback until SM gives an update on Seunghan's status in RIIZE or their legal case to protect him.

🚚 | Our truck has arrived at the SM building!
We hope that SM listens to our voices and recognizes all the efforts that international fans are putting in and how much we are looking forward to Seunghan's return, so that our home can be complete again.
Thank you so much for
Don't let time soften/dull our reason for boycott.
5 months of SH erasure, discrediting, lack of protection, lost career opportunity, and silence from SM through it all.
Knowing he is alive and fine is the BARE MINIMUM, and we have to find out by crumbs of rumored sightings?
imagine in the future if we got a fancon behind the scenes video with the boys backstage, listening and nodding to the "RIIZE is 7" chants...
That would END ot6 stans
Don't let time dull our reason to boycott.
SM still erases SH without clarification, refuses to update his legal case.
No albums, no streaming, no official content/merch, no following/liking/interacting with official accounts.
