The new RIIZE Sohee airport photos from July 9 are taking over timelines, as fans zoom in on every inch of the main vocalist’s insane hair volume and barefaced visuals. Shot at Incheon International Airport, the images feel like pure, unedited candids, which only makes the reaction louder on X and, soon, TikTok.
The moment was supposed to be a simple departure for Japan, where RIIZE are holding their second Japanese fan meeting. Instead, it turned into a viral mini‑event when Sohee took off his hat at security and even made fellow member Wonbin stop and stare.
The July 9 RIIZE Sohee Airport Photos Moment
Sohee is the main vocalist of SM Entertainment boy group RIIZE, a six‑member team that debuted on September 4, 2023 with the single album Get A Guitar. Since then, they have dropped projects like the EP RIIZING, their first full album Odyssey, and EP II, collecting rookie and performance awards along the way.
On July 9, 2026, RIIZE arrived at Incheon International Airport to fly to Japan for their second Japanese fan meeting. Sohee showed up in a casual look with a cap pulled low, but his famously thick hair was already visibly pushing against the hat.
Once he reached security, he removed the cap and his hair seemed to “explode” into full volume, captured from multiple angles in press and fan pictures. With his features mostly barefaced under the harsh airport lighting, the shots read as raw and unfiltered, which only boosted their shareability.

Why His Unedited Visuals Hit So Hard
Sohee’s hair already had lore inside Briize, with past coverage joking about his “notoriously thick, beloved hair” and fans calling him the member “with the most hair.” The new airport photos feel like proof, giving everyone a fresh set of receipts to zoom in on.
One fan video posted on X on July 9 by user @coconieru captured the exact second Wonbin turned to stare at Sohee’s hair, eyes widening at the volume. The short clip is tailor‑made for edits, from reaction memes to dramatic slow‑mo hair reveals.
Korean netizens on community site theqoo reacted with a mix of disbelief and jealousy. Comments translated in Korean media describe his look as “legendary,” with one user saying it “looks like a wig” and others repeating that they were “so jealous” of his hair.
What This Viral Hair Clip Means For RIIZE
The attention around Sohee’s airport visuals shows how closely people are watching RIIZE right now. The group, which includes Shotaro, Eunseok, Sungchan, Wonbin, Sohee, and Anton, is positioned as a leading fifth‑generation act, with busy overseas schedules and a growing list of awards that recently extended to major Korean ceremonies.
Born November 21, 2003, Sohee has been more than just “the hair guy” for a while: he is RIIZE’s main vocalist and spent 2024 to early 2025 as an MC on Mnet’s music show M Countdown. His changing hairstyles have already sparked articles and memes, so this latest hat‑off moment feels like the next chapter in his ongoing “hair canon.”
As RIIZE continue Japanese fan meetings and future tours, every airport run through Incheon becomes a mini runway for new unedited visuals. Briize scrolling X and TikTok will be watching Sohee closely, ready to clip the next time he ditches a hat or shakes out that now‑legendary volume.
