[+222] So glad there aren't any Chinese members ♡♡

[+82] Finally with Lee Soo Man gone, so are the Chinese members. I support Riize. 

[+66] Funny how no one's mentioning Won Bin when his face is really Won Bin level, this is the first time I've been so excited over a new visual and subscribed to the group immediately

[+63] I'm a fan of another group but I think it was a great decision by them to include Yoon Sang's son. His addition makes the group feel a lot different than the usual SM boy group style~ He's quite handsome, too, but so is everyone lately ㅋ which is why having a strong song and concept is where the battle is, and I think Yoon Sang's son will bring something new to the table..

[+52] So glad that sh*tty Kwangya stuff is gone ❤️

[+36] SM without Lee Soo Man.. I like Riize so far but the only Soo Man style visual is Sungchan now, the rest aren't quite up to par.. Sungchan's also the only tall one.. Lee Soo Man just had an eye for these things, you know? 

[+32] Sm has tradition and guarantees quality but I feel like their groups are always geared towards the domestic market only... now that pro-China Lee Soo Man is gone, I hope they can take on more global concepts aimed towards the US or Japanese market as well. 

[+31] So that thug kid is debuting after all?? They're going to be known as the thug group????

[+29] So funny at the people saying SM has left Kwangya and crossed back to reality ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[+28] Won't have to deal with members backstabbing everyone and running off to China again ㅠ SM's finally realized that with the Hallyu ban, it's a waste of money to invest in Chinese members... you're spending just to not make any back. That money would be better invested in more Korean members or more mixed members of other countries. 

[+24] So I wasn't the only one who didn't understand that stupid Kwangya stuff, right? 😂😂😂 Felt like the emperor's new clothes there for a second, where people would think you're a fool if you called it out but it looks like no one else understood it either ^^ 

[+23] Glad there aren't Chinese members but I heard one of the members in this group had a bullying controversy? Is SM debuting him? And I saw his past photos, he definitely doesn't have a face good enough to be an idol at all... doesn't feel right to debut him like this. 

[+19] Let's start by investigating some of these school bullying claims, shall we~

[+15] With Lee Soo Man gone... I have no reason to hate on SM anymore

[+13] Glad there aren't any Chinese members

[+13] We've been telling them to drop the Chinese members, finally they're getting it

[+12] SM is so good with boy groups, their song sounds great. I wish our 127 would get a song like this too ㅠ sigh

[+8] Looks like SM's still got it

[+4] I'm glad that without Lee Soo Man, we no longer have to deal with Kwangya or Chinese members... but I do have to admit that this group feels like SM lost their visual touch and what makes them unique from other companies. And isn't one of the members in a bullying controversy??

[+2] I hope their next girl group doesn't have any Chinese members either
