RIIZE's Seunghan is leaving the group permanently.
On October 13, just two days after announcing Seunghan's return from his hiatus, Wizard Production – the SM Entertainment division responsible for managing RIIZE – followed up by announcing the news of Seunghan's departure.
According to Wizard Production, Seunghan personally expressed his desire to leave RIIZE for the sake of the other members and fans of the group. The managers stated, “Seunghan has constantly expressed his desire to leave the group for the sake of the members and fans. Out of respect for the artist's decision, we announce Seunghan's departure from RIIZE.
Seunghan debuted as a member of RIIZE in September last year before ceasing all activities just two months later.
Hello, this is a processor production.
Firstly, we sincerely apologize for hurting BRIIZE [RIIZE’s fandom] And causing confusion by announcing Seunghan's comeback on October 11th.
We feel especially apologetic for prioritizing the position of Wizard Production, instead of making our top priority the growth that the six RIIZE members have achieved while working their hardest; BRIIZE's support, which has been RIIZE's greatest asset during that journey; And the value of the times RIIZE and BRIIZE spent together.
We made this decision after discussing it for a long time because we believed that if Seunghan comes back after reflecting on his past mistakes and RIIZE shows another level of growth as a group, we will be able to give the artist and fans even greater joy.
However, when announcing his return, we carefully considered all the feedback and feedback fans sent in, and realized that our decision had actually hurt fans more and caused them more confusion instead.
Meanwhile, Sunghan constantly expressed his desire to leave the group for the sake of the members and fans.
Out of respect for the artist's decision, we announce that Seunghan is leaving RIIZE, instead of joining the group.
We will support Seunghan in the future so that he can showcase his talents and follow his dreams.
Above all, we also sincerely apologize for creating difficulties and confusion for the six members who, since their debut, have always given their best while thinking about the fans and who have made today's RIIZE possible by thinking and working harder than anyone else. Every moment.
We will continue to do our best to support RIIZE members so that they can grow even bigger in the future as well.
Wizard Production will be careful and careful in all matters in the future, and we will work hard so that RIIZE and BRIIZE can be happy together for a long time.
