RIIZE's Seunghan will be taking an indefinite hiatus following the leak of various private photos and videos of him.

This news has sparked significant attention on the Korean forum "theqoo" where a post titled "Seunghan has been deleted from RIIZE's Instagram account" has garnered nearly 70,000 views and over 300 comments.

The post shares screenshots of RIIZE's Instagram highlights, revealing that there used to be introduction highlights for all seven members, but Seunghan's highlight has been removed after the announcement of his activity suspension.

It is worth noting that prior to this, pre-debut photos and videos of Seunghan were released, resulting in controversy and ultimately leading to his indefinite hiatus. The comments from Korean netizens regarding this issue are quite mixed.

Some express sadness over Seunghan being punished due to malicious intent, while others call for his removal from the group.

A few samples of the netizens' comments include: - "Wow, SM is acting fast." - "He should just withdraw from the group." - "Remove him from RIIZE already." - "It makes me sad to see that malice has achieved its purpose." - "To be honest, it wasn't that big of an issue. But in the idol industry where so many people are sick in their minds, it's so easy to call things crimes and point fingers. I feel sorry that he has to be sworn at and threatened over something like this. Not asking fans to fangirl over him, just expressing my thoughts on the industry." - "Are they putting him on hiatus in case something worse happens later? I don't like the word 'hiatus,' just leave." - "The idol industry in this country is insane…"

In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
