Kinda off topic but I’m really enjoying Lisa going bang-less in this new era of hers. Like she’s really been living for her forehead for these past couple weeks (or is it months) and I’m loving it a lot.
I’m seeing ppl say “Siren” sounds like a nct song and nothing’s wrong w/that! I just don’t hear it? Like for me it’s giving H.O.T, esp the yell-like chorus and the hip-hop production mixed w/ a little rock. I understand the nct comparison, but I’m gonna have to disagree
@astralcenter
The way he’s currently learning English too and this video shows his improvement in just 5-6 months. We needed the YouTube studying video yesterday
October 2023 vs April 2024
Shotaro said he wanted to learn English more to communicate with fans better he was already taking classes
He definitely has been working a lot his accent and pronunciation has gotten soooo much better within a few months
I’m saying this w/ a great amount of love, but some of y’all need to take a break from briizetwt. The fear mongering, guilt tripping, the victimization, making assumptions about the support from others, getting upset w/others very easily, thinking more emotionally than +
No wait bc it’s actually hitting me that RIIZE is here. Teasers, various content, a group name w/ meaning, a genre/sound, an official announcement, a debut month. Its been a rough 3 yrs and everyone keeps saying it but it’s the truth 😭. WAR. IS. OVER
As we get closer to the debut riizeville PLEASE be careful w/ what you say about other idols/groups and how you interact w/ other fandoms, esp when you have anything riize related in the profile pic, bio, or dn. You never know who is out here watching and next thing you know +
The way it just hit me that there’s no official siren challenge, dancers just really woke up one day and decided to attempt the choreography themselves and it’s lowkey blowing up. Like there’s no promo for this from sm it’s ppl’s free will. Idk why this is mind blowing to me lmao
Ok let me get this right 😌☝🏾! Bc theyre currently six until seunghan returns, riize: can’t sing their own songs, cant take group pics esp not like their old aesthetic (even tho so many ppl said they missed the “old riize” just a month ago), dont look happy in any TikToks, make +
It just hit me that Psychic Fever is a part of Exile Tribe which is under LDH and LDH is the company that formed EXPG. I looked psfye up on google and all the members were expg students like shotaro, so I wonder if he knows any of them (bc shotaro knows everybody lmao).
All these little anecdotes from the prerecording today, esp the ones about seunghan and hyung Shotaro…this is the end for me like wow 💔 In this riize shit for life oh wow
Okay done being nosey and finished my investigation. Here are my findings/thoughts; sorry for notes app screenshots and all the words 😔. When I make threads I really try to shorten my words but it takes a lot energy and I’m too tired for that lmao. Peace and love everyone:
This is pure insanity actually. Over 12k likes…when will this conversation end im so serious. Im honestly confused atp like why is this opinion so strong? Like wow I’m flabbergasted, bamboozled, befuddled, perplexed, appalled even. All the theories in the replies/qrts too 😭
As we approach aug 1 one thing I ask from smnbg stans is to start treating smnbg tweets from nctzens as “bait” tweets. I know this idea isn’t new, but arguing w/ the same group of ppl over the same exact thing is just ncity 2.0, which is what we don’t +
W/ this riize preorder talk, its only the beginning, so I’ll be happy w/any number! Tbh I prefer reasonable numbers and consistent growth over time. I just don’t want them to end up like groups w/ albums on the side of the road for the sake of a big preorder number
#noshade
@mlkteai
Like I get it but also y’all not really using your ears if some electronic production automatically sounds “neo”. To me nct’s sound is very distinct so not everything can be neo just bc it’s a lot of sounds together. And ppl say it to be insulting like that’s so tired
I can’t stop watching this, like this is crazy. How he stays balanced, how he shifts right into the next dance move, the spin is like he’s gliding. Like shotaro is THEE dancer and don’t ever forget it.
Um idk when or where the riize jp debut conversation started, but just something to take note of, jp debuts for sm groups take at least a year or two after the kr debut. So it’s pretty unlikely that riize’s jp debut will be anytime soon. And sm jp debuts are rarely songs that +
Putting stars on shotaro and sohee’s moles in these boom boom bass teasers is *chef’s kiss*. I love how the moles being embraced. I’ve getting so much shotaro x sohee content lately as well my sunshinez
The disrespect being shown towards Riizko when shotaro made it w/us in his mind and heart…yall should be ASHAMED of yourselves, the pink bear doll is CUTE! I know haters when I see them 😒
@yestoddayy
I love nct, I’ve been a fan since their debut! I don’t mind the comparison, but to me nct has a distinct sound. I know when ppl make comparisons like that w/ nct they use it as an insult bc they don’t like nct’s music. And shame on them bc they’re missing out!
Briize are so disrespectful to the fanbases it’s crazy. Like these ppl are just regular fans from all over the world who want to help support riize but it’s like no matter what they do, they can’t make anyone happy. Like all the work and projects +
a lot of you. Please log off and take some time for yourself some of you really need it. If this is tough love and hurtful words then I’m sorry I truly am. We all are supporting seunghan but some of you are “encouraging” in the wrong way. Pls take care of yourselves first 🫂.
Forever thankful for sungchan for the blessing that is the group’s name as I’m seeing a lot of “NEW PEAK” today 😁! East to the south to the north to the west side WE WHAT???
I’ve noticed in these past couple of months that briize have a bad habit of projecting, esp onto the members 😅. It can get concerning sometimes and the reaches will be astronomical too. Not to mention the fear mongering and misinformation…the fandom has a mass hysteria problem
There’s no name, no color, no debut date, not even a final line up yet for the past couple days my smnbg timeline has looked like this every time I open this app:
One thing sm is gonna do is not capitalize off of a hit. Next level was every where yet sm didn’t really send them to any shows and kept them locked away until like girls era and that was barely anything too 😒
Why Riize getting mentioned on literally every single popular variety show in SK but SM is not sending them to said variety shows and is keeping them locked in the practice room 😭😭
Nctzens and smnbg stans fighting once again on my tl. Aug 1 needs to hurry and it better be a group name along w/ the final lineup so most of this ends already
rationally, it’s just been a lot of bad reactions and takes these last two days. Seeing ppl say they hate briize and doubting their support, they feel so stressed, they really can’t be positive or can’t handle seeing positivity when they come on here and it’s been hard to +
Me laughing at everybody who was anti-orange for riize’s possible official group color seeing even sm staff use orange. Feels so good knowing I was team orange and an orange truther since they very beginning 😁🧡🍊🏵🟠
boring content now, cant do brand deals to help support themselves (bc atm they barely have any music), am I missing anything? Bc i just want to make sure im understanding correctly that it’s okay to openly disrespect the members efforts of keeping riize’s rookie momentum going +
you find yourself too unhappy and too stressed and just hating coming onto briizetwt, maybe it’s time to log off. Sometimes we have to put our own mental health first, it’s not weakness to take a break. You’ll only come back stronger. Like I’m saying this bc I want better for +
Ppl are calling you out for being shady towards the members and you defend yourself by trying to knock one of members down and continue to be shady? Just admit you don’t actually care about the members or the group and go 😐
“I’m so glad riize doesn’t have any akgaes and all the fans are ot7”…I know everyone was very happy back in the summer but damn the amount of those tweets I saw that have come back to jinx and haunt the fandom 100x over 🤕
@girllwithluv
The amount of kpop and Korean artists that weren’t even on Spotify 5-6 years ago even. Streaming is still so relatively new I remember when Spotify was a new fangled platform back in sixth grade
I feel like this picture should be edited onto that image of Lois from family guy w/ the pill bottle the amount of times I’ve seen this pic or any other one of him in these glasses on my timeline in the past 30 minutes it’s been posted😭
I don’t think y’all understand, like he looks so beautiful pls somebody help me. Like, this is MY angel looking so ethereal and lovely and cutieful. Like he’s just sitting but he looks so pretty pls my heart I feel so blessed?
Idk but some of y’all gotta calm down over this positions/screentime talk for riize. Like we just got here lmao we have a month and the rest of their career to learn more let’s just be happy with what we have now pls like at least we have something
The reactions to what riizefolder and co posted…none of them said they weren’t boycotting anymore. All they said was that the boycott has brought out some unfavorable reactions from the fandom and they want to try and mend the issue. Did any of you read the google form at least?
I’m once again jealous of shotaro’s core strength. Eunseok is doing full in pushups off of shotaro’s back while he’s planking and shotaro is barely moving. I’d like to have his core strength just for a day and exercise like I used to
so that seunghan doesnt feel guilty over anything (even tho he did nothing wrong) and comes back to a strong group waiting for him. Its apparently ok to assume that he’s already gone, we should give up and shit on the boys too? That riize cant do anything? Am I getting it right?
Too many briize really aren’t good ppl at all, just nasty, insensitive, non-empathetic, deflective, and gaslight-y. And now they’re being more openly rude towards the members (and I think some “briize” need to stop w/the ot7 when they’re really ot1). It’s just all so sad
Korean fans call them “healingz” and I think it’s so cute but I forgot why 😭. I think it’s certain characters in their names when put together spell that but I could also be very wrong w/ that explanation 😂
I know this isnt a new discovery and has been repeated by so many ppl so I shouldn’t be surprised, but kpop fans really aren’t smart ppl, like at all. There isnt an ounce of common sense to be found. Qrting, not censoring names, making jokes? Why is it hard to use our brains?
keep a brave face…maybe that means taking a break. We need to work on being each other’s strength but some of y’all are just so negative and rude and that’s just not the move. And some of y’all are using this to take your frustrations out on briize and the members and it +
Personally, since “epilogue” means “concluding act”, I’m taking this as an end to the “riizing” era. This chapter of riize as 6 is closing, so the next time we start a new chapter it’s going to be all 7. Idk I get everyone’s frustration but I guess I’m just viewing it different?
I hate to say it but I’m really a firm believer that many briize just do not believe in critical thinking, reading analysis, and reading comprehension. Pls stop, read and THINK before changing someone’s else words or creating a new narrative. It waffles and pancakes w/ you ppl 😭
doesn’t motivate anyone guys. Not listening to one another, dismissing ppl’s opinions, and assuming the worst doesn’t encourage anyone either. It’s just a lot of unhappiness and fear mongering right now, like a lot of y’all have gone off the deep end saying awful stuff and if +
Shotaro crying multiple times during debut era, sunchagn crying at the restaurant, wonbin getting emotional watching the siren mv…I hope riize realizes that they’ve truly made it and are just beginning. Like it honestly still doesn’t feel real to me I can’t imagine how they feel
For the smnbg fans frustrated w/ nctzens still “mourning” the loss of Sungtaro, it’ll be ok. Just let them get whtvr feelings they have out. As someone who lived through the debut of Wayv, the “mourning period” and the “I miss sungtaro” and +
Y’all in the qts do realize that trending solo tags for a debut mv is not the same as tags hyping up an idol’s return right? She’s also talking to ALL riize stans about it not being a good idea. Genuinely asking what would solo tags accomplish? Bc I can see it ending very badly
doing solo tags is the worst idea ?? have you guys ever seen a fandom trending solo tags for a DEBUT 😭 not only is it counterproductive but it's also gonna encourage solo stanning and competitive behavior inside the fandom. terrible idea and it never happens for a reason lol
@astralcenter
Whoever said that sm stans would be union busters alongside sm if idols were to ever unionize, their words have never been truer than right now. The lack of empathy, compassion and just overall human decency is so sad. I’m a little shocked tbh I knew ppl could get low but still
@biniired
It was kind of crazy 😭. They really tried to tell us early on they were close and everyone was like “ok yeah sure how cute” and then wontaro pics was working overtime for like a month lol. But I really do love their friendship so much im so happy they were able to debut together
And this goes for riize “stans” who are awful towards members of riize itself. Like yes ppl can have preferences or whatever and don’t have to necessarily love every member. But if you’re awful to other members for no reason you gotta go. Maybe even perish or suffer for eternity
We gotta watch out for bait/setup accounts. If someone is saying crazy stuff about other groups/idols and nothing else, but have anything riize-related in the name/pic/bio, they gotta get outta here. Don’t need that kind of energy trying to reflect the fandom. I know preventing +
@aestaro
Omg me! I wasn’t expecting a flop like I knew ppl would tune in but it’s been hard for bgs to get any attention for the past couple yrs. Like I considered zb1 an exception but we might be in a bg rebirth era w/the fifth gen. Like the interest for riize right now is kinda crazy 😭

Hmmm, the way some ppl are moving w/ this boycott…like if someone is boycotting there’s no need to villainize them and make it seem like they hate riize when it’s farthest from the truth? (Well idk about akgaes and solos lol). And at the same time if +
@urljuicebox
It always funny to me when ppl say that or when they say nct has never had any dating rumors. Forcibly erasing one’s memory is one strong coping mechanism. Bc there’s no way you believe any of that unless you’re deluding yourself and it will very painful when those delusions end
I’m once again expressing worry over this sudden influx of shotaro predebut/school photos appearing. I don’t find it entertaining and i feel like bc his predebut dance/socmed content was so openly shared it’s given ppl new excuses like stop it pls ppl need to get jumped +
Seeing Sungtaro hang out w/ their members and/or their members’ families, esp during chuseok, really means something to me 😭. Like it’s just the bigger picture of them finally having their own team and being able to better create those kind of team/family relationships 🥹
Now why am I seeing riize stans post screenshots from tiktok about “nctzens” seeing riize as neos? Have we not learned that tiktok Kpop fans have no sense no matter what fandom they claim? Like yes it’s annoying that ppl still won’t let go but brining those screenshots +
After last night, once seunghan comes back, I think I’ll be more of a casual fan. I’m here bc seunghan asked us to wait and I’ll wait for as long as it takes, but I really can’t w/briize anymore im sorry 😭. Maybe I’ll stay in tarocity and watch briizeville from a distance once +
All these preorder benefit never before seen photo cards for the riize album while sm is one of the companies being investigated by the ftc for the excessive photo card problem is very funny idk. Like it’s just so…idk I’m laughing out loud at this
Ppl seeing what I’ve been seeing since euseok said he loves shotaro/he’s eunseok’s favorite like all need is group content and I’ll be set for life in Euntaro land 😁😁😁
@girllwithluv
It’s not a good thing at all. It makes them easier targets for scrutinization and for ppl trying to knock them down. Now there’s going to be more eyes on them waiting to slip up, even over the littlest things.
I personally don’t think sm has some secret marketing plan for this comeback lol. All this confusion is bc center 5 making things harder for themselves. They probably did some crowd/market research but most of this is sm being dumb. Some of you are giving sm too much credit lol
Another thing! Briize have to stop blindly believing what these “insider “ accounts say. They don’t say a name or anything and yall jump. Remember that they exist solely for attention (and are therefore preying on your desperation for info). They don’t care about the issue at all
Just realized who that person trying to create the “shotaro stans are wonbin antis” narrative that oomfs are arguing with is. And my theory about that group of stans and how they’ll treat the group after all the members are revealed is being proven true the more they argue/tweet.
I’m so serious when I say i love the original choreo of “talk saxy” so bad. And everyone here was feeling the song this was so much fun. I’m glad sm kept most of the original choreo (tho I’m still mad they changed the chorus part) and I hope they keep +
@JacksonsMomo
What’s really blowing is that he’s born and raised in Korea. It’s not like black women are in abundance over there either way. And then to use the same logic bm use when bw date outside our race, with special vitro lol towards black female Kpop stans
