i’m not though 😭 he is in fact.. riize are much more popular in korea and japan right now than any nct unit sorry to say which is why they’re doing tokyo dome 2 years into their careers and have samsung and korean bank cfs, go viral on korean forums every week and the general public actually knows who they are.

nct has 0 presence domestically and never have, and they lose footing in japan every year which is very difficult to do bc japanese kpop stans stan anything. when it comes to brands they’ll pick a riize member over an nct member any day of the week and over the next few years you nct fans will have to come face to face with this reality .. riize lacks international presence sure but in korea they’re sms top bg and there’s little to no question about it 😭 idk what to tell you riize has higher sales, more unique listeners, higher chart peaks + the general public know at least 3 members which is more than nct can say.
