RIIZE’s Seunghan Pens Handwritten Letter To Fans Following News Of His Return
Recently, SM Entertainment officially announced RIIZE Seunghan‘s return to group activities.
He also posted a handwritten message on Weverse, expressing his gratitude towards the members, fans, and the company.
“Hello, this is Seunghan. First, I sincerely apologize to the members and fans. When the pre-debut photos of me were revealed, I was deeply disappointed in myself and regretted what I had done. I can’t even fathom how the members and fans must have felt when I myself felt so let down, too. I can only imagine how angry, shocked, and disappointed you all must have felt.
I had to take a break from activities during the most important moment, which was debut. I apologize to the fans who have supported me since the start of debut and have a heavy heart towards the members who have had to push on regardless of the situation. I want to apologize to everyone who had to endure and overcome the situation. I was sorry about the situation and sad I couldn’t be together. I also started thinking more realistically of If I could ever be able to stand on stage and make music again due to the disappointment I caused.
During that time, the members reached out to me. It must have been such a difficult decision for them, but I am thankful for the opportunity they gave me, and I am truly sorry. To the members who reached out to me again and the fans who might be worried that the progress they made would be ruined— I know that I need to prove and live up to the expectations of everyone, including the company that made the difficult decision for my return. I feel burdened by it and am also afraid, but I will work harder due to the trust I have received.
I will work hard to become a good member and ensure I will not hinder the progress and achievements the members have made thus far. I want to become an essential part of the team, RIIZE. Once again, I apologize to the members and company staff who made this decision, and to the fans who are shocked by this. I promise to work harder and continue promotions with a greater sense of responsibility.”
