Following SM Entertainment’s announcement that Seunghan would be ending his hiatus and rejoining RIIZE, some degree of fan division was expected, though perhaps not to this extent.
Amid the discussions sparked by Seunghan’s heartfelt letter to fans and the various protests, Vogue Korea stepped in to show support for the “OT7” lineup. However, the magazine’s tweet supporting Seunghan’s return was soon deleted.
In the now-removed tweet, Vogue Korea stated, “RIIZE is returning to their roots and starting fresh.” This post quickly gained attention, amassing thousands of views and sparking heated reactions from fans.
The tweet was soon taken down, likely due to the overwhelming backlash. Yet, as is often the case online, screenshots continued to circulate, fueling further debates between fans who support Seunghan’s return and those against it. Some even speculated that Vogue Korea might have unreleased content featuring Seunghan, contributing to the controversy.
– There’s probably a photo shoot or interview with Seunghan that they want to drop.
– If they’ve got an OT7 shoot, I’m not here for it.
– Just scrap the pictorial if that’s what this is about.
– I wonder if this is about an unreleased pictorial. If not, what are they thinking?
– So out of touch.
Although the reason behind the magazine’s decision to delete the tweet remains unclear, one thing is certain: Seunghan’s return is proving to be more divisive than anyone could have anticipated.
