Fans Butt Heads About RIIZE Seunghan’s Return With Protest Battles
Wonbin also directly addressed fans in a letter posted to Weverse. In it, he spoke about Seunghan’s return and shared that he and the members had discussed his return for a long time before coming to a decision.
“BRIIZE! I don’t know where to begin, but I’m taking the courage to say the words I want to say to BRIIZE…
Even as I am writing this post now, I am cautious and worried about how BRIIZE will feel when this post goes live. But I am worried that you guys would struggle more and be confused if the members don’t say a word or react to anything, hence I am writing this after having talked with the members.
I think that it is a given that you guys would’ve thought a lot about if Seunghan would be returning and why a sure answer wasn’t quickly given. Us, Seunghan, and the company, really talked about this for a long time.
I hope that you guys realize the members have thought about this together again and again, considering this deeply. I had wanted to always make all of our BRIIZE happy, but I’m sorry I am unable to do that… I know this post will not be able to erase all of your worries, but I hope that it can comfort you in your confusion, even just a little bit. Without BRIIZE, there won’t be RIIZE. I always say it, but I want to make good memories with BRIIZE, and se eyou guys for a long time. So I hope you will be able to look upon us warmly as you have been up to now, and if you cheer us on, it’ll be a great source of strength for us.
I promise to work hard without changing, so that RIIZE can become someone BRIIZE is proud of.”
