SM Entertainment announced on October 11th that Seunghan would be returning to RIIZE after an 11-month hiatus. The international fanbase, known as BRIIZE , welcomed the news with excitement, but Korean fans had a different reaction. Many expressed their dissatisfaction, stating they would only support RIIZE as a six-member group, urging Seunghan to step away permanently.

The disagreement soon moved from online comments to a physical protest. On the same day, dozens of funeral wreaths were sent to the SM Entertainment building as a symbolic gesture of the Korean fans’ opposition to Seunghan’s return. This shocking display angered many international fans, who saw the action as extreme and disrespectful.


Amid the growing tension, fellow RIIZE member Wonbin took to Weverse to share a message with fans. He explained that Seunghan’s return had been carefully considered by all seven members, along with the company, and urged fans to support the group as a whole. However, his post was later removed, deepening the uncertainty surrounding the situation.

Just two days later, on October 13th, SM Entertainment announced that Seunghan would not be rejoining RIIZE after all. A handwritten letter from Seunghan was posted on Weverse, in which he expressed his emotions about the decision. While the letter did not reveal specific reasons, it was clear that the decision had not been easy. The sudden turn of events left fans reeling, and international fans quickly took to social media to voice their disappointment.
