Hello, I am Mohammed Ayyad from Gaza. I would like to share our story with you. I was a high school student in 2023, and after that, I succeeded and entered university in my first year, studying Multimedia, a field I had dreamed of since childhood. But on October 7th, the war came and destroyed our lives, our homes, our dreams, and everything.
Now, it has been over a year, and we are living in this war and genocide. Every day, we die, every day we live in fear, and every day the children in my family are terrified due to the intensity of the bombing. My family consists of 13 members, and I am doing everything I can to provide them with food, bread, and medicine.
I ask all of you to stand with us in Gaza, whether through donations, prayers, or even sharing this message. Every action has great value in this difficult time. Thank you.

Another statement from J-Briize:
We, Japanese fans who love RIIZE and Mr. Hong Seunghan, feel profound disappointment and strong anger regarding SM Entertainment’s handling of the series of events concerning Mr. Hong Seunghan, as well as the issues that have surfaced during this process. Taking this opportunity, we wish to express our wholehearted support for Mr. Seunghan and request explanations and actions from the company on several points. First, regarding the malicious false information and privacy violations directed at Mr. Seunghan, these acts have not only caused immeasurable pain to him personally but have also brought us, as fans, deep sorrow and anger. Furthermore, it is regrettable that some Japanese fans were among those who repeatedly engaged in defamatory behavior toward him. Such actions are absolutely unacceptable from fans who are supposed to support the artist. To what extent was the company aware of these defamatory acts? What specific measures were taken, and how does the company plan to address such issues moving forward? SM Entertainment has a responsibility to protect its artists, and we demand a reevaluation of the actions that should have been taken to fulfill this obligation, as well as a clear explanation. Next, concerning the series of events that began on October 11, we have major questions about the decision making process from the announcement of Mr. Seunghan’s return to his departure from the group within the span of just two days. Additionally, there are concerns that sufficient discussions did not take place, especially as other RIIZE members were on overseas schedules at the time. How does the company view the resulting loss of trust among the group’s members and fans due to this process? Moreover, the harassment by some Korean fans who used funeral wreaths caused us deep shock and suffering. The fact that this cruel act is being dismissed as a cultural phenomenon and has not resulted in substantive penalties leaves us speechless with anger. Mr. Seunghan’s role and contributions to RIIZE were immense, and we are well aware of how important he was to the group. Nevertheless, we are deeply disappointed and angry at the company’s failure to protect him, as well as the lack of sufficient explanation to fans about the ongoing situation. We strongly urge SM Entertainment to listen to the voices of fans and fulfill its mission of protecting its artists. We sincerely hope that the company will provide a clear explanation of the circumstances surrounding this matter and sincerely engage with both the artists and their fans.

The South Korean president declared the Martial Law this morning. Instead of being mad that the South Korean people’s liberation will be taken away and the military will have authority over civilians now, Kpop Fans (from what I’ve seen) are more mad that their fav won’t be able to have concerts, go to festivals and possibly no comebacks.
like what? Ur more worried about music than the peoples rights???
to anon and the people that are happy about seunghan going solo must not be familiar with the way SM treats their soloists… they’re happy that he may get 1 or two fansigns if that and that’s all… seunghan going solo wasn’t in the 2025 plans and he’s things can change but this is sm we’re talking about … i mean look at their groups , aespas comeback when they first debut was pushed back multiple times , so imagine seunghan , someone they never really gave a fuck about from the beginning. how can we support something if sm won’t give us anything to support. they keep saying at least he won’t be hated , if that was true otsick wouldn’t still be taunting him.
this isn’t like kai or taeyong going solo must, they were in already established groups and even then their solos were horribly promoted. seunghan was a rookie when he went on hiatus and his korean fan base isn’t as strong as his international one. sm knows this. i want to support him , i do but how can we do that when we don’t even know what sm is doing. if they didn’t support and protect him when he 10 months ago , or when he got the wreaths , what makes you think they’re gonna do it now that he’s gone solo ? sorry this is so long but it’s just annoying when people talk about this and they don’t really understand .
Finally someone who understands. We all love seunghan!! but him going solo is literally the worst possible outcome. We aren’t being rude by saying he will “fail” we are being HONEST & taking an actual look into what SM has done for their solos & we see exactly what will happen to seunghan. he wont “fail” because hes bad or something (which he isnt bad, hes so talented) he will “fail” because SM WILL NOT start treating him with respect & WILL NOT promote him!
Just in case yall have forgotten, I'm saying it once more:
SM is BAD at managing and even WORSE at managing SOLO ARTISTS
Even if they DO redebut Seunghan, it will be CHEAP, with little to NO promotions, and we WILL BARELY SEE ANY CONTENT FROM HIM.
They are NOT going to promote him.
They are NOT going to take legal action.
They are NOT going to protect him or sue anyone
They are NOT going to give you great content.
Seunghan will NOT thrive under those conditions.
Some of yall are upset and angry that people, including myself, believe he will not make it as a solo artist and you people seem to believe we say this bc it is due to a skill issue or lack of belief in Seunghan. No. This is abt the principle.
This dude has been lonely, alone for the past YEAR, with NO protection. This dude got sent DEATH WREATHS upon his return and KICKED OUT less than 48 hours back. There are STILL fans OBSESSED with putting him down to the point of protesting his solo debut and harrassing him MERCILESSLY. And yall's reaction is: "if he went through all that he will be fine"
NO! HE WILL NOT BE. Everyone has a breaking point and sometimes it is not at the worst part, but after you thought things would get better**
He should have been protected to begin with. He shouldn't need to go solo to begin with and be ALONE. This is literally Lucas all over again and yall are acting like this is a new leaf and things will be pretty and nice and better??? NO!!!! THEY WILL BE WORSE!!!! HE WILL HAVE LESS ATTENTION. LESS SUPPORT. LESS MEDIA COVERAGE. LESS EVERYTHING. And WORST of all- it IS. NOT. WHAT. HE. WANTED.
He didn't write a letter. He didn't make a statement.
What do we do?
We support HIM. We follow his Insta. We send his positive messages. We show love to HIM. BUT We CONTINUE to BOYCOTT RIIZE AND SM.
We CONTINUE demanding his return to his group where he belongs.
This isn't about his ability to do something it is about the fact that he should not have to endure this treatment. You are not getting content from SM for him. For all you know, they could retract this in January when all the award shows are over, and they can ignore everything and release another statement saying sike.
If you think SM will treat him right when Taemin left and Taeyeon continues to complain about their solo artist management- their literal best soloists- you are being STUPID (sorry not sorry).
“why can’t we just be happy that he’s debuting again?”
because this is just to shut us up.
because we know that they’re gonna give him a halfassed debut.
because we know that they ignored the bigger picture.
because they put the sasaengs on a pedestal.
because he deserves justice, and protection, from a company that’s already vowed to do so.
because he deserves to be seven, with his six other members.
because the boys miss him.
because he misses them.
because riize started as seven
performs the best as seven
always wanted to be seven
and will always be seven.
