Under the recent TikTok video of RIIZE’s Anton doing the “Get A Guitar” Challenge alongside his father, the esteemed Korean singer and musician Yoon Sang, a netizen left a comment calling Anton a “Nepo Baby” – a term reserved for those born with a silver spoon, thanks to their famous or wealthy parents.
Yoon Sang, a notable figure in the Korean music scene, is Anton’s father, and his mother is actress Shim Hye Jin. Anton’s journey has been anything but ordinary, with early pursuits in Cello, swimming, and studying abroad in the United States.
His return to Korea saw him becoming a trainee under SM Entertainment, a Big3 company, before making his debut with RIIZE.
Amidst numerous comments, the “Nepo Baby” comment caught the attention of RIIZE’s verified TikTok account, believed to be Anton himself.
Anton’s response was a heart emoji accompanied the phrase, “Born This Way by Lady Gaga” – a clever way of saying, “I was born this way.”
Anton’s response showcased his wit. In the world of idols where online comments can be harsh, Anton’s choice to respond with a touch of humor and self-assurance draws admiration from fans.
