Fans Can’t Stop Laughing At RIIZE’s Wedding Fashion —But There Could Be A Twist

Every wedding is bound to have some moments that stand out, but at SM Entertainment’s Performance Director Luis Jiwoon’s wedding, it wasn’t just the couple that stole the limelight. Rather, it was also the unique choice of fashion by members of the company’s newest boy group, RIIZE.

The trio — Eunseok, Sohee, and Anton — made an unexpected fashion statement by donning beanies. A look usually considered unconventional for an event as formal as a wedding.

The fashion choice has since sent the internet into a frenzy, with fans and netizens offering a mix of amusement, confusion, and theories. While beanies are often associated with a laid-back, casual vibe, these boys proved they could be rocked with panache even at formal events. The hats, though unconventional, did not mar their overall dashing appearances. Instead, they added a touch of quirkiness that only RIIZE could pull off.

Many fans couldn’t help but chuckle at this unlikely accessory choice. Some considered it a light-hearted breach of wedding fashion etiquette, while others admired the boys’ audacity and confidence. Social media was flooded with comments, memes, and hilarious reactions, with one fan tweeting, “the beanies are surgically attached to the RIIZE members’ hair…”

riize never abandoning their beanies. they even wore them to attend a wedding so what's next? maybe year-end awards shows?

i believe the theory that the beanies are surgically attached to the riize members hair cause why the fuck are they wearing a beanie anywhere they go you could see them at a church and they're wearing beanie at the beach they're still wearing beanies like they love it so much.

However, amidst the waves of laughter, some eagle-eyed fans have floated a theory that might justify this fashion anomaly. Given that RIIZE is known for dropping hints and teasers about their upcoming comeback, there’s speculation that the beanies might be concealing new hair colors or styles. It’s a common practice for idols to change their hairstyles or colors in the lead-up to a new release, often using hats or wigs to keep the transformations a secret until the big reveal.

The haters in the quotes are pissing me off

1. Yes it’s an EXO song. This is an SM directors wedding
2. No it’s not clout chasing, all of RIIZE are EXO fans
3. They have a comeback very soon so yes they’re wearing beanies Aka to hide the hair change

Anything else? https://t.co/QQJvzdvmPW

every riize member who wore a beanie on the wedding looks like they have a new hair color so i'm expecting something from anton too,,,, pic.twitter.com/imvHFzaj6y

But every theory needs some evidence, and here’s where things take an interesting turn. A fan pointed out that a peek of Anton’s hair was visible despite his beanie, and it seemed to be of the same color and style as before. This has led some to believe that maybe, just maybe, the beanies were merely a personal fashion choice and had no hidden agenda.

The way Anton doesn't have a new hair style to hide, he just wore a beanie to a wedding for funsies

The beanie saga has undoubtedly given fans a lot to talk about, and only time will tell if RIIZE’s fashion choice was a mere style statement or a well-played strategic move. Until then, the internet will keep buzzing with memes, laughter, and theories about the memorable wedding fashion moment that RIIZE gifted to the world.
