SM Faces Fierce Backlash After News Of RIIZE Seunghan’s Return
Recently, SM Entertainment released an official statement confirming RIIZE Seunghan’s return to the group.
They stated that after ten months of hiatus due to personal issues, he will finally join promotions starting in November.
They stated that the members have put the group first and are practicing hard for their fans.
“Seunghan has been working hard to improve his skills even during his hiatus and we hope you will continue to look over him with warm eyes as he has much more to show you in the future.
Once again, we would like to apologize for the confusion and hardships caused to the fans who have watched and supported RIIZE’s growth. However, RIIZE is a group that grows together and realizes its dreams.
The members have put the group first and are continuing to practice hard, even at this moment.
We ask that you trust our decision so that we can properly showcase a seven-membered RIIZE to the fans.”
Korean netizens were appalled at the news and couldn’t understand why SM would make this decision.
- “Interesting.”
- “I thought I misread it…so it’s not him leaving the group?”
- “Wow I thought they would kick him out..what is this?”
- “Damn..”
- “These b*stards have lost their sense…Do they not know why other groups aren’t able to make it big?”
- “I’ve lost even the little bit of interest I had in them…ok hwaiting..”
- “Crazy….just let him go.”
- “Is SM crazy?”
- “SM’s decision is strange..then why did they make him go on hiatus? If they didn’t think it was a big deal they should’ve just left him alone.”
- “I feel bad for the remaining members and fans…I totally don’t understand SM..”
- “It hasn’t even been that long since that other group had that sexual assault issue…”
- “I really don’t want to buy even one album…I don’t want to spend any on them..I’m going to be mad if his photo card comes out…”
- “Ok I’m out…I loved you.”
- “Wow, but why?”
- “Isn’t it already fixed in the fandom that he’s not a part of the group? If he was going to return, they should have done it sooner. Why now.”
- “Everyone’s leaving the fandom.”
- “Are they crazy?”
- “Wow…”
- “What? Are they insane?”
- “If it wasn’t a big enough issue to throw him out..then they should be aware of the risk.”
- “Wait, what? Fans had false hope after seeing the previous news article.”
- “I loved him so much…but I don’t think I can anymore.”
- “They really have lost their sense of touch…I’m going to have to leave the fandom.”
- “Did his parents give the company money? Why are they taking this risk?”
