Lately, SM Entertainment officially announced RIIZE SeunghanIt’s the return to group activities.
He also posted a handwritten message on Weverseexpressing his gratitude to the members, fans and the company.
“Hi, I’m Seunghan. First, I sincerely apologize to the members and fans. When my photos were revealed before my debut, even though it was me, I was disappointed and regretful towards myself. If that was how I felt, I can’t even imagine how the members and fans would have felt. You all must have felt angry, shocked and disappointed.
I apologize to the fans who have supported me since the most important moment, which was the beginning of our career, and for having hurt them due to my childish actions.
I also apologize to the members who had to continue pushing without me. Because of all this, I had to take a break from activities and I want to apologize to everyone who had to endure to overcome this situation.
I feel sorry for the situation and despaired of not being able to be with everyone at that time.
With the disappointment I caused, I wondered if I could ever get back up and make music. I started thinking more realistically.
During that time, members reached out to me. It must have been a really difficult decision for them, but I’m grateful for the opportunity they gave me and I’m really sorry.
To the members who have contacted me again and to the fans who may be worried that my results will be ruined: I know that I have to prove and live up to everyone’s expectations, including the company that made the difficult decision for my return . .
I feel the pressure and there is also fear. However, I will work even harder because I know the amount of support I have received.
I will work hard and ensure that I do not hinder the progress and achievements of the members so far. I want to become an indispensable part of the RIIZE group. Once again I apologize to the members, company staff and fans. I promise to work harder and continue promotions with a greater sense of responsibility.”
