SM Entertainment's latest addition to their roster, the rookie boy group RIIZE, has captured significant attention since their debut.

Despite facing controversies related to past photos and a member's private life, the group has been steadily ascending in popularity, thanks to their striking visuals and exceptional performance talent.

Recently, RIIZE has been the topic of an online discussion, as one netizen suggested that the group will be popular in Japan once they debut. The reason? It's based on the belief that RIIZE's striking visuals and style resonate strongly with the aesthetic preferences commonly admired in Japanese pop culture.

The netizen wrote, "Don't you guys think RIIZE will be popular in Japan? Personally, I think Wonbin and Eunseok would be popular. I sometimes feel like Eunseok looks like a Japanese actor."

Other netizens and fans also joined the conversation and shared their opinions on this topic. They commented, "I have a Japanese friend and she said Wonbin and Eunseok both have the faces that Japanese people like," "The group also has Shotaro, so I think they would be (popular in Japan)," "Wonbin does have a face that would be popular in Japan," "I think they would get popular there soon," "Wonbin looks like Takuya Kimura when he was younger," "I think Wonbin and Anton would be popular," and "I agree."
