RIIZE Anton’s Alleged Girlfriend From Photos Addresses Dating Rumors

Days after the scandal erupted, a vlog of Anton’s time in New Jersey was uploaded onto the group’s official account. The scandal had stemmed from his time there, where netizens claimed that he had flown over to see his girlfriend. The vlog showed that he spent most of his time with his family.

The entire video was almost 26 minutes long, way longer than any of the other vlogs uploaded to the channel. Fans wondered if the editing team had done this on purpose to prove to fans Anton’s innocence.

He showed a meetup with his friends briefly before meeting his family for dinner. Most of his days were spent on dates with his mother and younger brother.

Fans in the comments expressed their sympathy for what the star had to go through.

• Bet the editing team was so baffled at his rumors that they just uploaded all of the content he filmed. How can people do this to a kid who was busy filming everything like this?
• I’m scared that people will think Chanyoung was not sincere to his fans over this matter, that he will blame himself, that he will lose his precious relationships, that he will regret becoming an idol… I’m only so worried and sorry for him… I hope he still knows that there are fans who are cheering him on and believeing in him, and that he doesn’t skip his meals and stays healthy. I hope he makes more happy memories with the members such that this simply becomes a memory where he will look back upon and be like, “oh, right this happened.” And I hope that the group becomes closer because of this. RIIZE and BRIIZE, let’s realize! Always love and supporting you.
• Sigh, he really filmed 20 minutes all on his own.
• Can’t believe the fans spread rumors on their own about such a kid, and really wrung him through together with the non-BRIIZE who were excited to tear him down. I’m embarrassed to be a part of the same fandom. It’ll be helpful if those fans leave the fandom even now.
• Thinking about how Lee Chanyoung got cursed out without doing anything wrong makes me sad and angry… He’s someone who is so sincere to fans…
