The Kpop groups are constantly under public scrutiny because of their actions inside and outside Korea, particularly from the K-Netizens. RIIZE, unfortunately, started to trend on social media for all the wrong reasons, as they were mocking BLACKPINK’s Rosé on TikTok.
The whole controversy started after the influencer, @moh.ans published a video imitating BLACKPINK’s Rosé’s voice when singing RIIZE’s sons: “Get A Guitar,” “Talk Saxy,” and “Love 119.” It is well known that Rosé has such a unique voice, which made her earn a spot among the greatest vocalists in the Kpop scene. However, RIIZE seems to think otherwise.
RIIZE’s social media manager, Anton seems to be behind the scene making rude comments in numerous videos from RIIZE’s official TikTok account. This time, they commented “Oh Thank You Sunbaenim” which refers to someone with far more experience in the same field, implying they were better than Rosé.
The K-Netizens immediately showed their outrage against RIIZE, because they shouldn’t be mocking other peers inside the Kpop scene. Despite people not having any proof that RIIZE’s Anton was behind the comments, the whole group had to carry the negative comments against them. However, they have not issued any statement to clear up speculations.
