RIIZE’s Seunghan leaves the group two days after his comeback was announced

Hello, we are Wizard Production.

We first sincerely apologize for hurting (the RIIZE fandom) and causing confusion through our announcement for Seunghan’s comeback, which was expected to be this October 11.

We feel particularly sorry for prioritizing the position of Wizard Production, instead of making our top priorities the growth achieved by the six members of RIIZE while working their hardest, the support of the fan community, who have been the greatest source of strength of the group during that trip, and the value of the moments that RIIZE and BRIIZE have spent together.

We made this decision after debating it for a long time because we thought that if Seunghan returned after reflecting on his past mistakes and RIIZE showed another level of growth as a group, we could bring the artist and fans greater joy.

However, with the announcement of their comeback, we carefully reflected on each and every opinion and response submitted by the group’s fans and realized that our decision had actually hurt the fans even more and caused greater confusion.

At the same time, Seunghan has repeatedly expressed his desire to leave the group for the sake of the members and fans.

Out of respect for the artist’s decision, we announce Seunghan’s departure from RIIZE, rather than his return to the group. We will support Seunghan in the future so that he can show his talent and follow his dreams.

Above all, we also sincerely apologize for creating difficulties and confusion for the six members who, since their debut, have always given their all with their audience in mind and who made today’s RIIZE possible by thinking and working harder than anyone else. at every moment.

We will continue to do everything we can to support the group members so that they can grow even more in the future as well.

As Wizard Production, we promise to be more careful and organized in all matters in future situations. We also assure that we will work hard so that RIIZE and BRIIZE can be happy together for a long time to come.

– Directors of Wizard Production, Kim Hyeong Guk and Lee Sang Min.
