Seunghan’s hiatus took place in August 2023 after some controversial photos saw the light of day. South Korea’s conservative crowd wasn’t exactly thrilled about the scandal, which included a snapshot of him smoking and lying in bed with an unidentified lady. Consequently, SM Entertainment hit the pause button on his activities, leaving everyone guessing about his future.
But now, with a heartfelt letter to fans and a nod from his fellow RIIZE members, Seunghan is ready to start again. The idol thanked his supporters and reflected on the actions that caused controversy in South Korea. SM Entertainment also released a statement, revealing how much the idol had grown personally during his hiatus.
SEUNGHAN shares letter on his return to RIIZE activities:
— “Hello. This is Seunghan.
First of all, I would like to sincerely apologize to the members and fans.
When the pre-debut photos were released, I was so disappointed and regretful with myself. I can't imagine what it… pic.twitter.com/1d8F3cBQOy— Kpop Charts (@kchartsmaster) October 11, 2024
And just like that, RIIZE goes back to being a 7-member boy group and get ready because Seunghan is walking hand-in-hand with the help of Shotaro, Eunseok, Sungchan, Wonbin, Sohee, and Anton.
