A devoted fan revealed they were so obsessed they had practically given up on real-life dating. Their heartfelt worries centered on RIIZE, instantly drawing viewers in.
The video was uploaded to KBS Joy's YouTube channel on March 18, 2026.
In the episode, a RIIZE superfan opened up about spending millions of won (thousands of dollars) on stanning. They confessed, "Because of my stanning, real-life dating isn't even an option," and earnestly asked for advice.
They also shared everyday problems caused by their fandom life and listened to tips on how to fix them. Joking, "I already missed the marriage boat," they sparked plenty of laughs.
The program caught fire thanks to passionate viewer reactions and deep, no-nonsense counseling. With the witty chemistry of Seo Jang-hoon and Lee Su-geun, the show became even more engaging. While stories from RIIZE fans have aired before, this episode took a more in-depth, empathetic look.
