Seunghan reveals WHY he decided to leave RIIZE in new letter addressing fans
Seunghan speaks out for the first time since the announcement of his decision to leave RIIZE in a new letter shared on Weverse. Know what it says.
Seunghan writes after leaving the team. In a new letter to his fans on Weverse, now-former member of RIIZE, Seunghan, revealed why he chose to exit the team. Fans noted that the singer chose to leave a handwritten letter, unlike a typed-out announcement which had just met the fans a few minutes ago.
In the late hours of October 13, just before the clock struck 12, Wizard Production, the team handling the management and production for the team RIIZE as a part of SM Entertainment, took to their social media to announce the permanent departure of Seunghan from the group. This comes just 2 days after the production team’s announcement to bring back the singer to team promotions starting in November.
The singer left the handwritten letter on the fan communication platform Weverse. He shared that he had taken the matter of his return very seriously, much like many others. Seunghan shared that after much reflection, he felt that he was thinking too much about himself and wondered if he was causing too much harm to the team members and the company. He further wondered if it was okay to continue to be a part of RIIZE, which was loved by many and felt apologetic.
Thinking that it would be the best decision for everyone, he has decided to leave.
Seunghan revealed that he had decided to take this step after looking at the 'damage caused to the members and the company'. He added that he did not want to cause more confusion or hurt the fans and wanted to avoid any further damage to his teammates. The 21-year-old thanked the members and the company for allowing him to be a part of RIIZE and giving him another chance. He thanked his own supporters for cheering him on.
Seunghan emphasized not wanting the relationship between RIIZE and BRIIZE to be affected because of him and spoke about the hurt he felt while looking at them fight. He spoke about supporting ‘RIIZE that I love’ and hoped for them to receive more love further.
