A recent interaction between RIIZE and a fan account sparked some online debate.
RIIZE | SM Entertainment
RIIZE are one of the groups most active on the social media platform TikTok, often leaving comments on videos that are about them or that they are tagged in.
Anton is believed to be behind the comments, as they are usually in English, and he has all but confirmed he is the group’s “social media manager.”

Recently, RIIZE’s account commented on a video of a fan who imitated BLACKPINK‘s Rosé.
BLACKPINK’s Rosé
Rosé is known for her unique singing voice; many other performers have praised her vocal color and tone.
TikTok influencer @moh.ans has posted several videos imitating Rosé’s unique singing voice and style. His latest impersonation featured him singing RIIZE’s “Get A Guitar,” “Talk Saxy,” and “Love 119” in his “Rosé voice.”

The RIIZE official account commented on the video, saying, “Oh thank you sunbaenim.”
Some felt that the video content mocked Rosé and that RIIZE should not have commented on a video like that.
this guy is being weird towards rosé, who has been for awhile now, causing her to get dragged, and u got this kpop group management team “RIIZE” being shady and interacting with the video pic.twitter.com/fUCUk5JEc7

On the other hand, many have defended RIIZE, saying that they could not possibly know if the video had secret ill intentions as the poster declared themselves a BLACKPINK fan on their account. The user’s account also says that none of his impersonations “are hateful.”
