JAKARTA - The shocking news came from the RIIZE group. One of its members, Shotaro, could not attend their latest concert RIIZING LOUD in Macau.
Friday, February 6 local time, local promoters released a statement that Shotaro did not attend the concert. They did not explain the specific reasons for the idol's absence.
"Although all parties prepared themselves for all members to attend, unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances, Shotaro could not participate in the RIIZE concert," the agency said.
"We ask for the understanding of fans who have waited and supported RIIZE for a long time," he continued.
Speculation began to emerge after the diplomatic conflict between China and Japan and affected several artists from the country. Shotaro himself is a member of Japanese nationality.
A similar case was also experienced by Ningning from aespa who also could not attend the New Year's event held by one of the Japanese television stations. The agency said the idol was sick but the public suspected that this was related to a diplomatic conflict.
RIIZE, which consists of Sohee, Eunseok, Wonbin, Sungchan, Shotaro, and Anton, held the RIIZING LOUD tour which took place on several continents.
On the other hand, Shotaro had talked about his dating news with Giselle aespa. Shotaro denied the news and said Giselle was his senior and close friend.
