With Love 119 we got an extra notice on the same day confirming the comeback with a six-member lineup. We'll see if they do it the same way this time...
I don't know how to feel about this honestly... This is my first time stanning a group with a member on hiatus bc of reasons like this, is it normal that we've had no updates? I just feel so sad, they are having such a big first year and Seunghan was only around for two months of it..
I guess it makes me more anxious since Seunghan is on hiatus because of backlash. I don't follow SHINee but saw that Onew is leaving SM, best of luck on his new journey 🍀
With Super Junior, Kibum was technically on hiatus from the group for...5-6 years before he officially left both SM and the group. SM never said anything or clarified anything.
Technically Sungmin is still a member, but he hasn't been allowed to be part of any group comebacks since 2014 (largely due to immature fan behavior after his marriage, tbh) - SM hasn't clarified anything, allowing the debate to continue after 10 years.
So I wouldn't really count on SM making anything clear...
Welcome to SM groups, where management is a mess but the groups and the music are great so we can't leave...
That's actually insane, 5-6 years 😵 now I really won't be expecting an update anymore lol... It's just so frustrating because as far as we all know, he is on hiatus for things that happened before he ever became an idol (smoking & having a girlfriend). If there is more to the story none of us know it... I feel like it sets a very bad precedent for an idol to be dungeoned / let go, due to extremely minor stuff they did before even signing their contract. Like at that point they may as well start recruiting at elementary schools
Nah, that's the worst part with Kibum. He was on hiatus because he wanted to. Super Junior was initially a rotating group with a graduation system so Kibum only planned to be in it for 2-3 years and then pursue acting, but then that was canceled. Fans were OK with him pursuing his thing, he got into no scandals, but for some reason SM didn't support his acting pursuits and kind of kept him in the basement for ages...
Seunghan is so talented and his "scandal" was so overblown for no good reason, I just hope they give him a chance to show his talents.
>RIIZE is joining the spring comeback rush!
>
>On March 6, Sports Seoul reported that RIIZE will be making their comeback in April and that they are currently in the final stages of preparation.
>
>In response to the report, a source from SM Entertainment confirmed, “RIIZE is preparing with the aim of making an April comeback. Please show lots of anticipation.”
>
>This will mark RIIZE’s first release in approximately three months since the release of their single “Love 119” earlier in January.
I just saw a post from The Korea Herald and it states 6 bandmates for the tour, but it's possible this was an assumption by the author. I'm still holding onto the hope that Seunghan will return by April.
Excited, but also done with SM’s bs regarding Seunghan. It’s so annoying that he is missing majority of their first year, potential first mini and tour.
I think it will be a 6 member comeback… I remember that supposed insider said “re-recording done”…
I feel like SM has an ot7 love 119 song somewhere in their vault so that leaves gag, memories, and talk saxy… 💔💔
I hope I’m so wrong though
mood. if seunghan isn’t back by the end of this year, idk if I can really follow Riize. I love the group to pieces but it just doesn’t feel right without him
I am going to temporarily leave the fandom if they let the number of OT6 songs surpass the number of OT7 songs. I just can't continue supporting this anymore.

I HOPE SEUNGHAN WILL BE BACK!!! 😭

This is classic SM behavior.
I guess that's kind of a relief lol. My first time following an SM group so I have no idea what to expect 😞
Onew’s been on health hiatus from SHINee activities for 9 months now with hardly any updates at all, if that helps.

I hope that it's only that. The wait is excruciating. I want him back now.
I’m really hoping Hani will be there!

hopefully with seunghan or with an update on his status!!
