Seunghan Officially Returns to Activities with RIIZE After Hiatus, BRIIZE's Wait Ends Beautifully

Kapanlagi.com - Seunghan is officially returning to activities with RIIZE. SM Entertainment announced on Friday (11/10/2024) confirming that Seunghan will end his hiatus and resume promotions with RIIZE starting early November.

Seunghan was announced by the agency to be on hiatus last year after several photos related to his past became a topic of discussion online. This means that after a year, Seunghan will return to the K-Pop world as usual.

Here is the complete statement from SM Entertainment regarding Seunghan's return:

1. Statement from SM Entertainment (1)

"For BRIIZE who loves RIIZE.

Hello, this is Wizard Productions, the producer of RIIZE.

We would like to carefully inform the fans about Seunghan's return and the direction for RIIZE's activities.

As you know, it has been about 10 months since Seunghan took a hiatus from group activities due to personal issues during his debut. Seunghan is aware that his past behavior was wrong and he has reflected on himself with a heart full of regret towards the members and his fans, stopping his activities for almost a year. We also understand that Seunghan's actions were not suitable for an artist, so we took a long time to think about when he would resume his activities.

We sympathize with the fans' concerns that have led to questions due to the lack of information regarding Seunghan's activities, but we sincerely apologize for only being able to inform you about the decision regarding RIIZE's future activities after considering various aspects.

We have been planning RIIZE's next steps since before their debut and believe it will be more meaningful if all seven members are together. After several discussions with the staff and members about the group's future direction, it has finally been decided that Seunghan will rejoin the group.

"After rejoining the group and preparing for a while, Seunghan will start to return to group activities beginning in November and will greet his fans again.

Seunghan has been working hard to develop his skills during the hiatus, and we hope you will continue to support him warmly as he has many things he wants to show you in the future.

Once again, we apologize for the confusion and difficulties faced by fans who have been watching and supporting the growth of RIIZE. Nevertheless, RIIZE is a group that is growing and realizing their dreams together.

The members prioritize the group and will continue to practice hard, even in times like this.

We ask you to trust our decision so that we can present the seven members of RIIZE to the fans properly."

"We believe many of you are curious about what RIIZE's next steps will be, how much they will grow, what their dreams are, and how those dreams can be realized in the future. As the people closest to RIIZE, and as their passionate fans, we are also looking forward to their next move.

In the future, we will continue to share the same dreams as the members and will keep working hard to provide you with great music and amazing performances from RIIZE. Please stay with us through all the moments of growth that the members go through."
