Is this a fair criticism?
Netizens are divided RIIZE member Sungchanit is the “reckless” habit.
The fifth generation idol, who is usually the talk of the town for his breathtaking visuals or impressive performance skills, recently went viral on a Korean forum after a netizen pointed out that he was caught on camera multiple times as he spotted the boogers.
The OP (original poster) posted two instances, one where Sungchan was seen quickly wiping something from his eyes and the other where he was seen wiping something near his nose. In the caption, OP wrote: “I like everything about Sungchan, but I wish he would refrain from casually showing this human side of him.

- “Eye boogers are one thing, but there are so many GIFs of him picking his nose, not just one or two.”
- “Ah, disgusting.”
- “I thought he just picked his nose. But he also chooses eye boogers, LOL.
