RIIZE’s Anton Goes Viral in Korea for His Flat Feet, Sparking Concern and Fascination Among Netizens: “Flatter Than the Palm of My Hand”

Just like every curve in the human body has a purpose, the arch in our feet plays a big role too. It helps with balance, absorbs impact, and keeps us moving comfortably.

When someone has flat feet, meaning they have little or no arch, it can lead to aches, discomfort, and even mess with their posture.

RIIZE's Anton is one of those people, and fans recently noticed he has really flat feet. As an idol, he's constantly practicing tough choreography and performing nonstop, which makes his flat feet even more challenging.

Korean netizens have discussed his condition in a local forum, expressing both concern and admiration. They know that with flat feet, dancing and standing for long periods take twice the effort, so the fact that Anton keeps up with everything is really impressive.

To address everyone’s worries, Anton recently shared that he uses special insoles to support his feet. These insoles help provide the arch support his feet naturally lack, making it easier for him to perform and stay on his feet without as much strain.
