RIIZE Gestures At Recent Concert Expose Their Stance On Seunghan
During RIIZE‘s recent fancon in Manila, fans were thrilled by more than just the group’s charismatic performances and hit songs.
The members’ responses to several “RIIZE is 7” banners sparked speculation that Seunghan‘s return might be on the horizon.
The fancon was packed with entertainment, showcasing RIIZE’s energy and talent. However, the highlight for many fans was the way the group acknowledged the numerous banners and signs calling for Seunghan’s comeback.
At one point, Shotaro was seen smiling, waving, and nodding towards a fan holding a “RIIZE is 7” banner while Sohee, standing beside him, beamed with a wide smile. The video has now gone viral on multiple social media platforms, including X (formerly known as Twitter) and TikTok.

This isn’t the first time fans have made their feelings clear. At almost every international event RIIZE has attended, “RIIZE is 7” banners and loud chants have shown the global fanbase’s strong desire to see Seunghan rejoin the group.

Seunghan has been on an indefinite hiatus since November of last year following personal controversies that surfaced online. Despite his absence, RIIZE has continued to thrive, releasing their first mini-album and even embarking on a fancon tour — which is currently ongoing.
The enthusiastic reactions from the members to these banners suggest a positive stance towards Seunghan’s potential return, fueling fans’ hopes. While nothing official has been announced, the gestures at the Manila concert have certainly stirred excitement and anticipation among BRIIZE and other RIIZE enjoyers.
