In a show of support for Seunghan, overseas fans recently sent a protest truck to the headquarters of what they believed to be a brand endorsed by RIIZE. These overseas fans sent a message advocating for Seunghan's return to the group to F&F Holdings, the parent company of various brands.

These fans seemed to have hoped that they would be able to receive support from F&F Holdings to help bring Seunghan back to the group. However, these fans sent the truck to the wrong place because RIIZE does not endorse any brands under F&F Holdings. One of the apparel brands under F&F Holdings is Discovery.

"It is clear that the company has failed in its duty to protect its artists."
"As a trusted brand, please listen to our request for Seunghan’s return to RIIZE."
"Seunghan's return will lead to increased sales in the next quarter."

Currently, RIIZE is signed as a model for National Geographic Apparel, not Discovery. RIIZE, which signed a six-member modeling contract earlier this summer, remains unaffected by Seunghan’s situation, as his name was not included in the agreement.

Therefore, Korean netizens are confused by this protest truck and have gathered in an online community to discuss the matter. Korean netizens are questioning whether the fans who sent the protest truck are true fans of RIIZE.

Korean netizens commented:

"This is serious. How do they get the brand the group is representing wrong?"
"Honestly, this doesn’t seem like a laughing matter. There’s no way RIIZE fans wouldn’t know the brand they’re endorsing. It seems like these aren’t real Seunghan or RIIZE fans but rather an overseas viral marketing scheme intended to worsen public opinion."

"What did Byun Woo Seok and Discovery do to deserve this?"
"Even I know they represent National Geographic Apparel. How do they not know that?"
"What's wrong with these fans?"
"I don't think the people who sent the trucks are RIIZE fans."
"This is so embarrassing."
"When was Byun Woo Seok part of RIIZE? lol."
"Discovery brand and Byun Woo Seok must be so dumbfounded."
"These fans wasted good money."
"Are they trying to be funny?"
"I think they are RIIZE anti-fans sending trucks to make the group's image worse."
"Why are these fans so dumb?"
"Why are they asking a brand to help Seunghan return to the group? Isn't it a finished matter? What can a brand company even do?"
