Protests for his return continued.
An alleged SM Entertainment the staff member shared his interaction with the ex RIIZE‘S Seunghan.
It was announced in October Seunghan would start from RIIZE after the news of the resumption of activity. Since then, fans have taken steps to show their displeasure towards SM Entertainment by protesting in various ways.
The idol has received worldwide support, including a boycott of RIIZE merchandise from many stores in several countries.

In early November, a fan shared a note left on a Subway advertisement in support of Seunghan. The note did not explicitly state that they worked at SM Entertainment, but it is assumed that they did due to the details provided.
The note detailed an interaction with Seunghan, showing support for the idol.
Not long after I got my first job in this industry, I made a mistake and got in trouble. As you passed by, you uttered the words, “Are you okay?” Don’t worry!’ Thanks to you, I was able to grow that day. When I heard what happened to you, I hoped that you too had people like you in your life. I’m sorry I couldn’t be there for you like you were there for me. Alongside your fans, I will cheer and wait for your return. + To some, the way he comforted me may not mean much. But in the world of entertainment, it’s not easy for a celebrity to look out for a complete stranger outside of their team. So, for me, it made me feel a lot better. I’m grateful for how he chose to do the hard thing and made me a stronger person. I will always be on his side, waiting.
