slowly realizing more and more that the sm boycott effort is gonna amount to nothing in the end, and this is not the way we should be going about the riize situation.
i loved seunghan when he was in the group, and i am still an ot7 fan. but at a point, i think we need to think of how much of our time and energy we're willing to spend spend fighting for something that has such a small chance of actually happening. sm is gonna bounce back from any stock lost from the boycott because they are one of the big 3. they have like 4 of the biggest groups in kpop rn: nct, aespa, red velvet, riize. there's just no way either boycotting riize or boycotting all of sm would actually be detrimental enough to get a member who's been terminated from the group back in.
and while i don't agree with the ot6 fans who are being unreasonable, i think some ot7 fans have been just as bad. this fandom is so toxic and rotten, every day it just seems to get worse. and i don't like the narrative that most ot7 fans were spreading about ot6 kfans-- how they were just mad that seunghan was dating pre debut. that isn't why they were mad, they really didn't care about that. it's the fact that he took pictures of him with his underage girlfriend at what looks like a hotel and presumably sent it to his friends in a group chat (which was how it got leaked). that's why they wanted him out of the group.
personally, i don't believe that a member should get kicked out of a group or put on hiatus without a proper reason why. and seunghan's hiatus and termination is really messy. but there are valid reasons why kfans weren't too big on him. the problem is there have been many idols kicked out for things they didn't do, and others who have been caught doing really fucked up and nasty things and rightfully kicked out of the group, but it's hard to know which idols are innocent or not when there's no organization. and when we jump on a narrative train and blow something super big out of proportion, the facts and proper investigation of the situation gets lost in the mess of things.
what should have happened was things being properly investigated back in october 2023 before seunghan was ever put on hiatus, and a decision made from there whether to keep him in the group or kick him out based on that.
instead, we have the other 6 members who clearly want seunghan back tired of the state of everything (rightfully so), ot7 and ot6 fans fighting a full blown war every day without logical thinking, and misinformation being spread left and right. there's no organization, there's no firm confirmation on anything, all of this is just such a big mess.
now let me be clear IF it's true that there was anything suspicious going on between seunghan and his girlfriend, then i would obviously no longer support him. as it is, i'm not going to stop supporting him until there's firm evidence. i'm tired of kpop stans making rash decisions based on half truths instead of just being patient and waiting for the facts to come out. staying neutral during unclear situations is a valid stance to take. please let's all stop jumping to conclusions from both sides.
the stark contrast between love and hate makes my heart so full, all these projects are so beautiful :(( i know sm hates to ses the goodness in the world. oh hani i hope you can see you are so loved ♡ good always wins ♡

You wake up to an empty bed, blinking away the last remnants of sleep as you stretch. It's unusually quiet for this time in the morning, and the absence of Leehan by your side makes you frown in confusion. Your mind is still fuzzy from sleep when it hits you: it's Leehan's birthday.
"Of course," you whisper to yourself, a small smile tugging at your lips. You sit up and rub your eyes, already thinking of ways to spoil him.
But then you notice something: the unmistakable sound of clattering dishes coming from the kitchen. You get out of bed quickly, padding down the hallway in your pajamas. The scent of bacon wafts toward you, and as you turn the corner, you find Leehan standing at the stove, cooking breakfast.
"Leehan?" you ask, a bit incredulous. "What are you doing?"
He turns to you with a warm smile, flipping a pancake with practiced ease. "Morning! I'm just making breakfast. Thought I'd surprise you and the girls."
You walk closer, arms crossed, and give him a playful glare. "But it's your birthday! You shouldn't be the one cooking."
He shrugs, casual and calm as always. "I wanted to. It's no big deal. You go sit with the girls. I've got this."
You huff in protest, but he's already back to focusing on the food. "Leehan," you press, moving to his side. "Seriously, let me take over. I want to do something for you today. You deserve to relax."
He shakes his head, shooting you a quick smile. "I'm fine, really. I like doing this. Go sit down; spend some time with the kids."
You roll your eyes but don't push it further. There's something endearing about how he never lets you fuss over him, even on his birthday. "Fine," you grumble, throwing your hands up. "But you're going to let me spoil you later."
"We'll see," he replies with a chuckle.
You shake your head, making your way to the living room where your two little girls are already awake and playing with their toys on the floor. They light up when they see you.
"Mommy!" your oldest, Mina, calls out, abandoning her dolls to rush over to you. Her twin sister, Minji, follows close behind.
"Morning, sweethearts," you say, kneeling down to hug them both. "Did you say good morning to Daddy?"
Mina nods enthusiastically. "He's making pancakes!"
"I know, but it's Daddy's birthday. Don't you think Mommy should be the one cooking?"
They both shake their heads in unison, giggling.
"Daddy's pancakes are the best," Mina declares confidently.
You laugh and ruffle her hair. "Well, you're not wrong there."
A few minutes later, Leehan calls out from the kitchen. "Breakfast is ready!"
You usher the girls to the table, where Leehan has laid out plates of pancakes, scrambled eggs, bacon, and fruit. It looks amazing, as always.
You sit down next to Mina while Minji climbs into the seat across from you. "Thanks, babe," you say, appreciating the spread.
"No problem," Leehan says, taking a seat. "Dig in."
The four of you start eating, the chatter between bites filling the room with warmth. The girls are old enough to feed themselves, though you keep an eye on them just in case. You take a moment to appreciate the scene: your little family sitting together, enjoying a simple breakfast. It feels... perfect.
After a while, you glance over at Leehan and ask, "So, birthday boy, what do you want to do today?"
He pauses, taking a sip of his coffee before answering. "I was thinking we could have a family day. I don't get much time with you all because of work, and I just want to relax with my girls today."
Your heart swells at his words, and you smile softly. "That sounds perfect."
Mina, always quick with suggestions, perks up. "We should watch a movie!"
Minji nods eagerly. "Yeah, a movie!"
You laugh, knowing exactly what's coming. "I bet I can guess which movie."
Mina grins, bouncing in her seat. "Frozen!"
Of course. You've seen it a million times, but you can't deny how much the girls love it.
"Well, it is Daddy's birthday," you remind them. "Maybe we should let him pick?"
But Leehan shakes his head, smiling. "Frozen sounds good to me."
The girls cheer in unison, and you chuckle, knowing you're in for yet another viewing of the animated classic. "Alright, Frozen it is."
Once everyone finishes eating, you all head to the living room. Mina and Minji race ahead, practically launching themselves onto the couch, while you and Leehan follow more slowly, hand in hand.
"I'm still going to do something for you today," you insist as you settle next to him on the couch.
He squeezes your hand, a soft smile playing on his lips. "Just being with you all is enough."
The movie starts, and before long, the familiar songs and scenes fill the room. You glance over at the girls, both of them completely captivated, and then at Leehan, who seems just as content watching them as the movie itself.
It doesn't take long for the soothing sounds of the movie to lull you into a doze. The comfort of the moment, the warmth of your family, it all pulls you under.
When you wake up, you blink groggily and realize the room is much quieter than it should be. Sitting up, you notice that the couch is empty. Mina, Minji, and Leehan are nowhere to be seen.
"Where'd they go?" you mumble to yourself, standing up and stretching. You wander through the house, checking the kitchen, the hallway, and finally making your way to the girls' room.
When you peek inside, the sight before you makes your heart melt. There, in the middle of the room, is Leehan, sitting on the floor with Mina and Minji. They've pulled out their dress-up clothes, and Leehan is fully participating in the game. He's wearing a plastic crown, a cape made of a pink blanket, and the girls are twirling around him in princess dresses.
You stifle a laugh, watching from the doorway as Mina adjusts the crown on Leehan's head.
"You're the prince, Daddy!" she declares proudly.
"And we're the princesses!" Minji adds, spinning in her gown.
Leehan looks at them both with pure adoration in his eyes. "Well, if I'm the prince, I guess I have to protect the princesses, right?"
Mina nods seriously. "Yes, from dragons!"
Leehan puts on a mock-serious face. "Dragons? Oh no! Where are they?"
The girls giggle, running around the room as if they're being chased by invisible dragons, while Leehan pretends to battle them off with a toy sword.
You lean against the doorframe, watching the three of them with a mix of amusement and affection. This is exactly why you love him so much. Even on his birthday, he's putting the girls first, making their day as magical as possible.
After a few more minutes of watching the playful scene unfold, you finally step into the room. "And what's going on in here?" you ask, grinning.
Minji runs over to you, grabbing your hand. "Mommy! Daddy's the prince, and we're playing princesses!"
You raise an eyebrow at Leehan, who just shrugs, still wearing the ridiculous crown. "I couldn't say no."
You laugh, kneeling down to join them. "Well, it looks like you're doing a great job as prince."
He grins, reaching out to pull you into the game. "Care to join us, my lady?"
You roll your eyes but play along, taking his hand. "Of course, your highness."
The rest of the day is spent in pure joy—playing, laughing, and enjoying the kind of simple, precious moments that make everything worth it.
Later, after the girls have been tucked into bed, you and Leehan sit together on the couch, exhausted but content. He wraps an arm around you, pulling you close.
"Today was perfect," you whisper, resting your head on his shoulder.
He kisses the top of your head softly. "It was, wasn't it?"
You smile to yourself, feeling incredibly lucky to have this little family, to have him. "Happy birthday, baby."
He squeezes your hand gently. "Thank you. For everything."
And in that quiet moment, as the house falls into peaceful silence, you realize that this is exactly how birthdays should be—filled with love, laughter, and the people who matter most.

Omg please share some ot7 kbriize twt accounts… need to rewire my timeline fr
gladlyyyy here are some sort of big ones ive encountered,, some are sh based accs, if u go through their acc they would have heaps of accs theyve retweeted who are also ot7
just found out that ot6 briize mightve doxxed sungchans family and then moved on to wonbin, anton, and sohee the next day cause they were smiling the most during the announcement of their ot7 performance in japan AND THEN theyre targeting to get anton kicked out of the group because of his “large nose”, because hes a nepobaby, and because hes american?? we’re so fucked😐
hi. by the looks of my layout, i believe it is pretty obvious that i am a briize and as a briize, if you are supporting riize or keeping up with them and engaging with their official content, i am begging all of you to STOP IMMEDIATELY.
please please please please please BOYCOTT RIIZE. do not support any of their future content, releases, albums, etc.
this is not hate towards the boys but to SM Entertainment themselves who have failed to protect seunghan as a person and as their artist.
as a briize, i cannot, in good conscious, allow them to move forward under a company that listened to the minority who were BITCH WHINING about a member who had an ex girlfriend and smoked. this is not normal. whatever the ot6 side of the fandom has done is completely psychotic and inhumane. sending 1000 funeral wreaths to a person who is alive and wishing him death for simply breaking their parasocial delusion is unforgivable and should not be tolerated whatsoever.
i am humbly asking for everyone's support on this.
this !! also try to boycott SM in general guys !! if you need any help on how just let me know i have a couple posts saved on twitter and instagram with more insight !!
i'm coming back and posting this just to advocate for seunghan and that's it because it is the least i can do as someone who loved riize as 7 very much. i have been in contact with some big briize fanbases and have been sending out as many emails to journalists and kwangya 119 reports as i could. i hope you all can help out in any way that you can.
first of all, i hope that sm removing seunghan's name off their site under riize does not discourage anyone. please continue to boycott. i can't stress this enough, we CAN make a change.
here are some things you can do to help our voices be heard:
this link has EVERYTHING you need to know, please read it!
sign this petition!
mass unfollow and report ALL riize's official accounts under spam!
mass report to kwangya 119, the template is here!
do NOT vote for riize on ANY music shows/awards since kfans said they can do it without us, show them that we have a voice too.
if you are in korea next week and can join the face to face protest, here is more information on that.
support/donate to any ads or trucks or projects you see that will be sent in support of riize and seunghan.
do NOT stream riize's music on any platforms.
here is a list of media contacts and template you can use to help get more media coverage on seunghan's situation.
trend all the hashtags you see across X, tiktok and weverse.
do not give up on seunghan! every fandom has come together to help briize, leeteuk from superjunior has reposted the situation, lee sangmin has deactivated, sm knows what is going on, they see us, they hear us, let this be a sign, let this be your motivation to make a change for the kpop industry. we do NOT support sm and their treatment towards their artists. boycott and make a change. even if it's one thing off this list, even if it's a simple reblog to help spread the word. please share, please help seunghan get justice. if you are a fan of riize you know how hurt they are right now. let us be their voice.
if you have any questions at all my asks are OPEN. i'll only be posting in relation to seunghan on this account for the time being. thank you.
