is riize overhated or am i on the wrong side of the internet

Discussion

Aside OBVIOUSLY from all of the seunghan drama, I feel like everyone always takes digs at riize for things i really enjoy and think make them unique. I’m very diverse with my music taste, but also very picky with my kpop groups, and I feel like riize is one of the few that really pertain to me, so I really just don’t understand the points people bring up to hate on them. it really baffles me because i think their concept of having not one single concept is really genius and their sound stays consistent even through a genre change, but so many people feel the exact opposite. People also always talk about how sohee is the only strong vocalist and maybe wonbin sometimes too, but their vocals are all really solid ? sure maybe not all of them do insane riffs, but i see a lot of performances where i genuinely think they’re lipsyncing because they sound so accurate to the track and they’re not. with ticket sales for their new tour doing poorly, it’s also dragged in a lot more hate,, but ALL kpop groups are kind of doing poor with ticket sales? i just don’t understand why riize doesn’t hear the end of it. I’m not one to glaze or defend the groups i enjoy like crazy, nor play into hate i see on the internet because truthfully every group gets hate. it just confuses me when anytime i want to be involved with riize online i always see majority of people bashing them, when usually hate for a group stays in corners i can never reach lol. I also know that seunghan obviously played a major role in why they lost a lot of support, but to me I feel like they get hated on for things that dont pertain to him at all, not to mention him leaving was not their decision at all! pleaseeee help me understand this
