In an unexpected turn of events Seunghan departed from RIIZE. According to a statement released on October 13, Wizard Production—the division of SM Entertainment in charge of managing RIIZE—confirmed that Seunghan would be leaving the group, with just six members going forward, despite his intention to rejoin the team in November.
Additionally, the singer revealed in a handwritten statement posted on the fan community website Weverse that he had made this decision after considering the “damage caused to the members and the company.” He continued by saying he didn’t want to upset the fans or create any more confusion, and he also didn’t want to harm his teammates any more.
