Former RIIZE member XngHan (Seunghan) under fire once more for behavior linked to smoking

Former RIIZE member Seunghan, now known under his new artist name XngHan, is under fire once again for his attitude towards fans and his behavior linked to smoking.

On September 8, a post in a popular online forum gained the attention of K-pop fans and online users. The post shared a social media X comment regarding a fan's recent encounter with the singer. The X post explained, "F*** Seunghan apparently walked right into the airport smoking room in front of fangirls saying, 'Is there anyone who doesn't know I smoke?' and smoked a cigarette. F***. When fans tried to stop him, he snapped back 'Are you going to start nagging me about drinking too?' Did this guy completely lose his mind after suffering from some mental illness?"

The netizen who shared the post further explained, "This post went up on Twitter (social media X) and Seunghan's fans jumped on the poster, saying they were lying, forcing them to delete the tweet. But now an audio recording of it has surfaced."  They included the audio of Seunghan's voice and added, "For reference, one of the controversies that led to him leaving his group before was because he smoked on the streets in Japan and did a live broadcast of it. So the reactions to this are worse now."

This post quickly gained traction with many Korean netizens gathering to share their thoughts. Many are expressing that they are not shocked since this was Seunghan's attitude even before being removed from RIIZE. They commented:

"Even before his debut, he had controversies because of his words and actions. Nothing's changed. That's just who he is and always was. Fans say, if fans are fine with it, what's the problem?' But weren't a lot of those the same fans who defended every mess he was in before? It's just not right for him to nonchalantly bring up his past smoking on the street controversy like that to fans. Just my opinion."

"Wow..."

"He just comes off as a frivolous person."

"He literally left the group back then for the same kind of behavior. lol."

"There were so many people defending him, saying he is mentally unstable, but I think it's more like that he's always had that personality. lol."

"Where is his manager?" 

"He left the group already. What's he doing now? Is he even a celebrity? Just let him live his life."

"Impressive..."

"Wow, I guess he's just let go. I mean, he's the one maintaining his fans, so let him do whatever."

"Whatever. He went to the smoke room to smoke, so I don't think it matters."

"I don't think it matters that he smokes, but I guess he really doesn't care anymore. lol."

"It's not like smoking or drinking is illegal. So I don't know what the problem is."

"I don't get why it's a problem that he went to the smoke room to smoke."

"I think the problem is that he wants to be an idol but wants to do whatever he wants."

"He's an adult, so I don't think it's our business if he smokes or not."
