Shocking Internal Documents Surface
HYBE’s leaked internal documents have sent shockwaves through the K-pop community. The confidential papers expose harsh criticisms about RIIZE members. These revelations have sparked intense discussions among fans and industry observers.
The documents, which surfaced on October 28, contain detailed evaluations of RIIZE members. They specifically focus on Wonbin and Anton’s performances and appearances. The leak follows earlier document releases that discussed other prominent K-pop groups, including aespa, IVE, SEVENTEEN, NewJeans, and BLACKPINK.
Wonbin’s Appearance Under Scrutiny
The internal assessment particularly targeted Wonbin’s physical features. HYBE’s document questioned the harmony of his facial features. They noted his frequent use of beanies as a styling choice to enhance his proportions.
The evaluation suggested that without specific styling choices, Wonbin might struggle in his center position. These comments have raised concerns about the company’s internal assessment methods. Industry experts have begun questioning the impact of such harsh evaluations on artists’ mental health.
The documents specifically mentioned Wonbin’s appearance at KCON, noting discrepancies between his front and profile shots. The assessment suggested that his facial features, while individually attractive, didn’t harmonize completely.
Anton’s Performance Evaluation
The documents also addressed Anton’s capabilities as a performer. While acknowledging his impressive height, the assessment criticized his dancing abilities. The evaluation compared him to EXO’s Chanyeol, questioning his potential for improvement.
HYBE’s internal review noted Anton’s challenges during the “Siren” choreography. They specifically mentioned his tendency to look at other members for movement cues. The document expressed uncertainty about whether additional training could improve his performance.
Other Members’ Assessment

The document specifically mentioned member Sohee, discussing his “characteristically cute” look as appealing to a certain fan demographic. This categorization has sparked debates about idol industry standards and expectations.
Final Thoughts: HYBE’s Controversial Member Assessment
