Seunghan of group RIIZE left the team on the 13th, two days after announcing he would rejoin.
"Seunghan has expressed his intention to leave the team for the members and fans," said Wizards Productions. "We respect the artist's decision and tell you that Seunghan left RIIZE."
Seunghan, who debuted as a member of RIIZE in September last year, decided to suspend his team's activities indefinitely in November of the same year after the controversy of his private life when he was a trainee. Wizards Productions announced on the 11th that Seunghan would return to team activities from next month, but fans strongly protested by sending a protest wreath to SM's office building.
Koreans reacted to the news that Seunghan would leave the team saying:
- Really?
- Wow
- It worked ㅋㅋㅋ the protests worked I'm glad
- Congratulations
- 👏👏👏
- Congratulations, fansㅠㅠㅠ
- All the protesting worked, congrats
- Wow, the fans did itㅜㅜ Congratulations
- Nice~~~
- Legends
- BRIIZE congratulations
- Wow... I'm crying ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ BRIIZE, you really worked hard
- It's a good world to live in
- Wow, my hands are shaking the dopamine is going crazy
It seems like international fans and Korean fans have very different positions about this matter, with many showing their disappointment.
