Bulk-Up Or No? Netizens Are Divided On Fifth-Generation Idol Member Visuals

An online community post recently garnered attention for RIIZE Sungchan’s visuals before and after his bulk-up. Initially, he debuted with a bulk-up look and showcased his muscles.

However, he revealed that after debut, he was banned from lifting weights. He also added that the muscles made him feel heavy and didn’t make him look good in photos.

Now, looking at his visuals from the recent comeback, fans could see the difference.

Even in the most recent clips from music broadcasts, fans could see a more slimmed down Sungchan.
