Seunghan Pens Letter To Fans Upon Leaving RIIZE
On October 13, 2024, it was announced that Seunghan would be leaving RIIZE officially.
The company made the decision after realizing that they might have not been fully considerate of the fans in their initial decision to reinstate Seunghan after a year-long hiatus. Following the announcement, Seunghan left a letter to fans to apologize and thank those who had been troubled by his news.
Hello, this is Seunghan. I know many people took my return to promotions rather severely, and I also acknowledge the gravity of the situation. I have been deeply considering if I have only been thinking about myself up to now if I am bringing too much harm to the company and members and if it is really okay for me to be in RIIZE, a team that should be at the receiving end of love. As I think about these, I feel nothing but apologetic and worried.
That’s why I have decided that it is better for everyone if I leave the group. I don’t want to hurt or confuse the fans anymore, and I don’t want to harm the members and the company any further. I want to express my thanks to the company and the members who worked hard to give me another chance. And to those who cheered me on all this while, although I was lacking so much, thank you, and I am sorry.
The relationship between RIIZE and BRIIZE, where you cheer each other on and grow together, is something I really don’t want to see worsen due to myself. It also hurts my heart to see the fans fight amongst themselves when it is already sufficient for them to simply love RIIZE. I sincerely cheer on RIIZE, whom I love, in hopes that they will receive even more love.
