Seunghan's 1st Appearance After Leaving RIIZE Breaks Hearts: 'He Looked At Us for Comfort'
Following Seunghan's withdrawal from RIIZE, the idol made his first public appearance — and it truly broke fans' hearts.
On Oct. 13th, SM Entertainment announced that Seunghan decided to leave RIIZE to protect the group and the company in the midst of intensifying protests of OT6 K-BRIIZEs.
On the same day, he posted his handwritten letter expressing gratitude to his supporters and apologizing to fans who were fighting due to him.
Many fans were saddened by the sudden news, especially since SM initially said on the 11th that Seunghan would return to RIIZE in November.
While still confused and heartbroken, BRIIZEs decided to remain strong for the idol, especially after seeing his recent status.
According to eyewitnesses last night, the "Get A Guitar" singer walked by over 1000 funeral wreaths sent in front of SM demanding his departure from the team.
