Watch: RIIZE’s Wonbin And Sungchan + BOYNEXTDOOR’s Sungho And Woonhak Get Close In “Amazing Saturday” Preview
Get ready for a fun episode of “Amazing Saturday” featuring members of RIIZE and BOYNEXTDOOR!
On June 13, the popular tvN variety show aired a sneak peek of next week’s episode, which will feature BOYNEXTDOOR’s Sungho and Woonhak, along with RIIZE’s Wonbin and Sungchan, as guests.
The newly released preview begins by announcing that the episode’s theme is “partners” or “seatmates,” after which host Boom introduces the week’s guests, all of whom are appearing on the show for the first time. As they enter, the four idols playfully joke around with one another by pretending to fight.
Before the games begin, Sungho impresses the cast by confidently declaring, “It’s all about spirit.” Woonhak later chimes in, “I definitely know all of this.” Shortly afterwards, however, the preview cuts to Sungho getting up from his seat and apologizing with a bow, piquing curiosity as to what could have happened in between.
Later on in the preview, Boom corrects Sungchan when he makes the adorable mistake of looking at the wrong camera while talking, before jokingly teasing Wonbin for having a stubborn streak.
Next, the preview shows the BOYNEXTDOOR members sitting on the RIIZE members’ laps, along with all four idols dancing together to GD X Taeyang’s “GOOD BOY.”
Check out the full preview below!
The next episode of “Amazing Saturday” will air on June 20 at 7:40 p.m. KST.

RIIZE’s Shotaro To Participate In Limited Capacity In Upcoming Activities Due To Injury
SM Entertainment has released a statement regarding RIIZE’s Shotaro’s injury.
On May 7, SM Entertainment shared that Shotaro will be attending but limiting participation in upcoming events following an ankle injury and released the following statement:
Hello, this is SM Entertainment.
We would like to inform you regarding RIIZE member Shotaro’s injury and his upcoming scheduled activities.
Shotaro recently injured his ankle during a performance at an overseas event. Following a detailed medical examination at the hospital, he was diagnosed with a torn ankle ligament. He is currently recovering while wearing a semi-cast and receiving regular outpatient treatment.
As a result, it has been decided that Shotaro will participate in the scheduled events (the May 8 Incheon National University festival, the May 10 Japan Kstyle Party, and the May 14 Sogang University and Soongsil University festivals), but he will not perform choreography on stage.
This decision was made after discussions with Shotaro and in accordance with medical advice stating that while daily activities are possible, he should refrain from intense dancing and prioritize rest and recovery. We kindly ask for fans’ generous understanding, and we will do our utmost to support the artist’s speedy recovery.
