Seunghan has recently become a hot topic among netizens due to intimate photos of the idol kissing his girlfriend on a bed.

Shortly after, Seunghan from RIIZE spoke up and personally apologized for the controversy surrounding his past relationship.

In a post shared through RIIZE's official Instagram account, Seunghan posted an apology for the controversy surrounding his past.

"Hello, this is Seunghan RIIZE. I feel like I have to say something before I stand in front of our fans, so I'm writing this. First of all, I sincerely apologize to the fans who have supported RIIZE. In the critical moments leading up to our debut, I have caused harm to our group because of my personal issues and I have also disappointed the company staff and our members," writes Seunghan.

"I apologize for not being able to apologize earlier because I felt scared and anxious. (The issue) happened because of my carelessness and I cannot blame anyone else or make any excuses. I have reflected on my past actions. From now on, I will focus on RIIZE as my priority. I will be cautious in every situation I face, not just for RIIZE's appearance. I will do my best so that you can feel my sincerity towards RIIZE and the fans through my actions. Once again, I apologize. Thank you for reading this long message," he continues.

At the same time, SM Entertainment also commented on the situation involving their artist and promised to take legal action against individuals who spread the photo.
