RIIZE’s Wonbin Directly Addresses Seunghan’s Return In Letter To Fans

He directly mentioned Seunghan’s matter.

RIIZE‘s Seunghan will officially resume promotions in November 2024. This comes after a hiatus of nearly a year, following controversies regarding his personal life. While fans have shown divided opinions regarding the news, the members had yet to officially talk about the issue.

On October 13, 2024, around 2am KST, Wonbin became the first member to address fans post-announcement. He directly mentioned the issue with Seunghan.

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.
