Hello everyone
I've been contemplating on this for a while but as you guys all know, i still consider myself a BRIIZE even though the collective fandom has decided to boycott. I've come on here to reveal that i do not plan on boycotting RIIZE any more. Quite frankly, i feel like boycotting RIIZE is just unfair to the members. Seunghan's current situation and how it escalated is entirely SM Entertainment's fault because of it's poor management to protect it's artists from the start. When Seunghan came back, we all were there to witness how harsh the "Korean " fans took it and also SM's mediocre way of addressing the issue at hand, being Seunghan getting constantly harassed and bullied for having a normal life pre-debut which we all agree was harmless. Yes, it was disheartening that Seunghan had to leave the group and restart as a soloist because of the backlash, but i don't think Seunghan would want us to boycott RIIZE content as a whole, it makes no sense because we all know he's not coming back to the group anymore.
What we should all do is support both RIIZE and Seunghan equally and i want to do that without boycotting them. I'm not gonna sway my opinion on people who disagree but i just want to put my stance out there.
That being said, i used to write RIIZE fanfictions but permanently stopped once i got fully involved in the boycott, but i do plan on getting active on that side again.
Also i need to stress this enough, i am IN NO WAY atracking the members or Seunghan but I'm looking at this from a very practical and logical stance because we don't truly know how this had all affected Seunghan along with the RIIZE members, so we need to support them so all 7 of them can come out stronger.
