We cannot, in good conscience, tolerate such injustice to happen and continue to patronize a company who so thoughtlessly treats their artists with little respect. The situation with RIIZE and Hong Seunghan is truly unnerving, and NCAT Philippines is joining in on efforts to demand responsibility from SM Entertainment.
Our team has been in deep thought about how to approach this situation, and we have agreed that it requires not only a statement but an action.
We will no longer be restocking RIIZE albums and any other related merchandise by the artist upon stock depletion. No pre-orders of future releases will be opened from here on out, until an acceptable resolution from SM Entertainment has been made.
Aside from that, NCAT will also be donating a total of ₱27,000 — a portion of our SM artist album sales — to Seunghan support initiatives. We hope that through this, Seunghan knows that he is not alone in this ordeal, and that the support he has outnumbers the hate.
We fully recognize that this issue does not only affect RIIZE, but rather the entire K-pop industry. This is a wake-up call for entertainment giants (as well as related businesses that benefit from it) to prioritize morality over money.
After all, we are fans first and a business second. RII7E is 7.
