Seunghan's status in RIIZE was pondered and discussed by netizens after a logo in one of the group's posts was questionably changed.
Here's what happened.
Will Seunghan Ever Return to RIIZE? Group's OT7 Logo Change Creates Discourse Among BRIIZEs, K-Netz
Earlier on November 22, 2023, Seunghan took a break from group activities and went on hiatus due to numerous controversies.
Meanwhile, international BRIIZEs drew their frustration towards SM Entertainment and criticized the agency's move to erase Seunghan's traces in the group. On X (Twitter), fans also expressed the same sentiments regarding the missing "7" in RIIZE's billiard ball logo. Here's how they reacted:
"The way SM is just erasing his entire existence from RIIZE instead of officially putting out a notice of him being removed from the group is so sinister, actually."
"They always do that. The way they removed WinWin from NCT127 is ridiculous. He suddenly stopped appearing and they all just pretended like he never existed."
UGLY ASS BILLIARD BALLS, PUT BACK THE NUMBER 7 ON IT!!!!!
Do you have to go that far? What's the point of removing the "7"? Why don't you just make another new design? Please stop this insensitivity! @RIIZE_official

You could have just not used the pic at all, if needed to edit the 7 out π why rub it into our faces and make us really sad and frustrated. The fans donβt deserve this.
