On October 12, a topic titled “Wonbin’s smoking video leaked” was published on the Korean forum Pann Nate, garnering attention with over 50,000 views after just a few hours.
The topic attached a video published on SNS platform X (formerly Twitter), which included the caption, “241008 Witnessed Wonbin Smoking”, suggesting that Wonbin was spotted smoking back on October 8.
Upon seeing this topic, however, many remain vigilant, believing that the video was fake and even provide their own piece of mind and evidence.
They also suspected that the video was published maliciously to attack other RIIZE members amid the controversial reactions to the return of Seunghan.
Below are some comments from netizens:
- This is so funny. Only his back was shown in the video, so how can we know it’s Wonbin?
- The clothes Wonbin wore on that day was different and the original post has been deleted, so this video is likely fake
- RIIZE is so pitiful. Due to Seunghan’s controversy, the other members are facing all sorts of criticisms.
- As soon as it was announced that Seunghan is returning, other members are being attacked
- No, if the poster was going to take a picture, they could have secretly taken a picture of the front too, why did you only upload the back?
- It’s so transparent that as soon as Seunghan is announced to be coming back, antis start making fabrications like this about other members..
On the other hand, SM Entertainment recently announced that Seunghan will be returning to RIIZE after 10 months of hiatus.
Prior to this, the male idol faced various controversies related to his personal life. As a result, his return is being met with strong protest from Korean fans.
