RIIZE’s Sohee Blasted For Unprofessionalism As “M Countdown” MC In Viral Post

Netizens aren’t a fan of his absences.

RIIZE’s Sohee is facing heavy criticism after a viral post on Pann accused him of being an unreliable MC for Mnet’s M Countdown. The post — which has gained over 120,000 views — calls out Sohee for frequently missing his scheduled appearances on the music show, leading many netizens to question his commitment.

Sohee was announced as a permanent MC for M Countdown in January 2024, alongside ZEROBASEONE’s Sung Hanbin and BOYNEXTDOOR’s Jaehyun. Initially, fans were thrilled about the lineup, but over time the excitement turned into frustration.

The viral post points out that while Jaehyun is still attending the show despite his busy overseas schedule, Sohee has repeatedly been absent. He has cited various other commitments, such as comeback preparations, tour schedules, and other activities.

Sohee is skipping M! Countdown again.

Jaehyun is flying out on Friday, but he’s still attending. Is he even in Korea right now?
He skipped because of comeback preparations, skipped because of the tour, skipped because of weekend schedules… So when is he actually going to show up? It’s a shame.

Netizens expressed disappointment, noting that other idols would love to have this opportunity but aren’t given the chance. Many believe that if Sohee cannot fulfill his MC duties, Mnet should consider replacing him with someone more dedicated.

  • “At this point, stepping down would be better. How is this any different from just being a special MC? It’s been four weeks straight of absences.”
  • “If he keeps skipping like this, he’s going to leave a bad impression… lol. Either step down or start showing up properly from now on.”
  • “There’s only one answer — he just doesn’t care enough. Even though Jaehyun is on tour, he’s still attending. No matter how busy he is, does it make sense that he’s only come once this whole year? Being an MC is an actual contract. He should at least try to fulfill it.”
  • “Miyeon was doing a world tour, but she still flew back and forth to Korea for M Countdown… Wow.”
  • “Honestly, he might as well just leave things as they are.”
