RIIZE's Seunghan Is Leaving the Boy Band

RIIZE’s Seunghan is sadly leaving the boy band.

Just days after announcing that the 21-year-old star would be returning from hiatus to rejoin the group, Wizard Production, the SM Entertainment division that manages RIIZES, made the shocking announcement on Sunday (October 13).

According to Wizard Production, Seunghan has personally expressed his desire to leave RIIZE for the sake of both the other members and the group’s fans, via Soompi.

The hiatus began after several instances of Seunghan’s alleged bad behavior surfaced online, including images of him appearing on an intimate date and clips of colorful conversations with friends, via Teen Vogue.

“First of all, I sincerely want to apologize to the members and the fans. When the photos from before my debut were released, although they were photos of me, I was deeply disappointed and regretful about myself. If even I felt that way, I can’t even imagine how the members and fans by my side must have felt,” he wrote at the time in an apology.
