International fans celebrated his return to activities, directly at odds with much of the domestic fan base.
However, on October 13, it was announced that the idol would depart from the group. The statement stated that Seunghan made the decision, and the idol shared a letter shortly after.
Korean netizens reacted to the news on a viral post, with many congratulating fans over Seunghan’s withdrawal from the group following protests.
- “Wow, we did it!”
- “BRIIZE, congratulations! You worked so hard.”
