Many European Kpop stores are dropping RIIZE too. This boycott needs to be taken seriously. This ain’t just about seunghan at this point it’s about all idols
**[Announcement Regarding RIIZE Products:](https://x.com/subkshop/status/1846334222778167533)**
>In light of recent events, we have decided to temporarily halt the importing of RIIZE products out of respect for our customers, fans, and the artist.
>
>Existing orders will still be fulfilled, pre-purchased inventory will remain, and future sales will be reevaluated as the situation evolves.
>
>Thank you for your understanding and support.
How big is this retailer? I wonder if this could cause other western stores to do the same
[deleted]
I saw a German store, Nolae.de is doing this too, they also said in the comments they removed the new fifty fifty albums from their store :/
I’m OOTL can someone please catch me up
I’m pleasantly surprised by this. I wish I hadn’t been right about what this situation would do, but SM made their bed.
During the Loona boycott, Orbits successfully managed to petition basically every US-based store and numerous other global kpop stores to cease carrying the upcoming (then cancelled) 11-member Loona album.
This announcement could empower kpop fans to petition other kpop stores and demand a boycott. It could get to the point where SM sees a massive deficit in Riize album exports.
I have also seen this news spreading outside of kpop spaces into general pop culture spaces online.
SM may have actually really poked the bear with this one.
My local kpop store is doing the same!
Australian retailer I Heart Kpop is doing the same also. They’re one of the larger Aussie stores as well.
May I ask what the boycott is asking for? It is just a general ‘eff you’ to SM and rabid fans or are they asking for his reinstatement? Cause I don’t know if I want the poor kid to go through all that again for a 3rd time
Edit: Thanks for explaining!
Hell yeah. International fans gotta start sending stronger messages about how fucked up parts of the industry are🤜🤛 all workers deserve rights
EvePink is doing the same
Saw some more retailers doing the same:

Honestly this could be big.. If we get more people and groups of people to boycott, it could potentially leave a big impression. Truly, I feel that this type of outroar was about time… Like someone has already said, this is not just about Seunghan, but about ALL idols.
This is an interesting business move. I wonder if SM will be petty and cut ties for all groups for the smaller shops and only focus on bigger retailers .
As an Orbit, I’m watching this like a proud older sibling 🥹
i’m always up for a SM boycott
I feel like it is getting to the point that SM has to respond. RIIZE has lost over 100000 followers across multiple social media sites. Multiple international stores have announced that they are no longer restocking RIIZE. Also, protest trucks have been sent, and dozens more are planned. Additionally, there are plans to send hundreds of flowers for Seunghan, and some people were planning to actually go and protest at SM.
The entire situation is spiraling out of control.
I feel bad for the other 6 guys, but for Seunghan and others like him, I’m all for a boycott. I sincerely hope it takes and other retailers follow along.
Since SM loves catering to the delulus that think they are the only ones purchasing the albums/merch(and therefore has any say over how the boys live their lives) , let them keep the group afloat now.
in canada lightupk and sarah&tom have also boycotted riize!!
I think they are going to either not care (because it’s not like they have a big fandom outside SK) or disband. I don’t see Seunghan coming back, unless SME go full uno reverse, convince him to comeback, apologize for not supporting him well, sue those who sent him those death wreaths (should’ve done it earlier), and promote outside SK, because people support him and OT7 as a whole outside SK.
All my local kpop shops are boycotting as well!
We need someone to make a spreadsheet with all the stores joining the boycott
