Seunghan’s Full Letter to Fans

In his letter, Seunghan expressed his inner thoughts and reasons for leaving:

"Hello, this is Seunghan.

I know that a lot of people have been thinking seriously about my return, and I’ve been deeply aware of the seriousness of the situation. As I reflected on whether I was only thinking of myself and if I caused significant harm to the company and the members, whether it is befitting for me to be in a group that is deserving of so much love, the only emotions that I experienced were feeling worried and sorry.

I believe the best decision for everyone is for me to leave the group.

I no longer want the fans to experience confusion or pain, nor do I want any more harm to come to the members and the company because of me.

I want to express my gratitude to the company and the members for making an effort to give me another chance, and I sincerely thank and apologize to those who supported me despite my shortcomings. I do not want the bond between RIIZE and BRIIZE, who have always supported and grown alongside each other, to be damaged. I also don't want fans to argue because of me, when all they need is to continue loving RIIZE.

From the bottom of my heart, I will continue to support the group I love and wish for RIIZE to receive even more love in the future."
