“Getting bigger every time…”
Koreaboo
RIIZE’s Anton is going viral among Korean netizens. While attention is nothing new for the SM Entertainment star, this time he has become a trending topic for all the wrong reasons.
Anton’s visuals are shockingly facing scathing backlash.
A post on mocking the RIIZE member’s nose instantly became a hot topic, reaching the top of the most viewed posts on Pann.
Why does Anton’s nose look like that? It’s like Pinocchio.

- “It’s similar to Sakura’s nose.”
- “I clicked thinking it was Winter, but it’s Anton.”
