RIIZE is known as a group that regularly interacts with fans. On the social networking platform Tiktok, the account of SM Entertainment’s “rookie” is quite active when leaving comments on related videos or tagging groups.
Member Anton is said to be the person behind RIIZE’s comments. Based on the content, the comments are all written in English. Not only that, the male idol also implicitly confirmed that he was the group’s “social network manager”.
Recently, RIIZE interacted with a fan account and caused controversy. Specifically, the RIIZE account commented on the video imitating Rosé ‘s (Blackpink) voice.
Accordingly, this international account often posts videos imitating Rosé’s voice and style. The Blackpink member is said to have a strange voice color and a special singing voice, which is a highlight that makes many people want to follow.
This time, the channel owner sang RIIZE’s “Get A Guitar”, “Talk Saxy” and “Love 119” by imitating Rosé’s voice. Afterwards, RIIZE’s official account commented in the video: “Oh, thank you senior.”

The above move has created controversy in the Kpop fan community. Some opinions say that the video content is intended to mock Rosé, so RIIZE should not interact and comment.
On the other hand, many people spoke up to defend RIIZE. They countered that the account posting the video had repeatedly claimed to be a Blackpink fan. Not only that, Rosé’s singing style was expressed very well by fans, with no bad intentions to defame the idol.
