Seunghan has opened up about his decision to leave the boy group RIIZE. On October 13th, he shared a heartfelt handwritten letter on Weverse, expressing his feelings about his departure amid a personal life controversy.

In his letter, Seunghan acknowledged the concerns of fans who were hoping for his return, saying, "I know many people are seriously considering my return to activities, and I also recognize the seriousness of the current situation." He emphasized his deep reflection on whether he had only been thinking about himself and the impact he might have had on his fellow members and the company.

He expressed feelings of worry and guilt, saying, "All I could think about were feelings of worry and guilt. So, I believe that leaving the team is the best path for everyone." Seunghan wanted to avoid causing more confusion or hurt for the fans, the members, or the company. He said, "It breaks my heart that fans, who only love RIIZE, are fighting because of me."

Seunghan sincerely hopes that the bond between RIIZE and their fandom, Breeze, remains strong despite his departure. "I sincerely wish that the RIIZE I love will be even more loved in the future, and I will genuinely support them," he added.

His agency, Wizard Productions, initially announced that he would be returning to the group. However, after fans reacted negatively due to his previous controversies, they confirmed his departure from RIIZE on the same day as his letter. Now, RIIZE will continue as a six-member group, including Shotaro, Eunsuk, Seongchan, Wonbin, Sohee, and Anton.

In his letter, Seunghan expressed his gratitude to the company and the members for giving him another chance, along with apologies to those who have supported him. His words reflect his desire to prioritize the well-being of the group and their fans over his personal feelings.

Seunghan’s heartfelt message highlights his dedication to RIIZE and the love he has for his members and fans. As he steps away, he hopes for a brighter future for both the group and their supporters.
