RIIZE’s International Fans Send Support Truck to SM, Pledge to Stand by Seunghan Until the End
Fans are showing support for RIIZE’s Seunghan amid the idol’s temporary hiatus
On November 23, international fans of RIIZE sent a support truck to the building of SM Entertainment, voicing support and encouragement for Seunghan. The truck carried the messages, “‘BRIIZE (RIIZE’s official fandom name) will be with Seunghan until the end” and “Our 7 RIIZE stars, let’s walk the flower-filled path together.”
This support follows SM’s announcement on November 22 that Seunghan has decided to temporarily halt activities just two months into RIIZE’s debut. The decision follows the controversies surrounding Seunghan’s personal life, with leaked videos and photos circulating online.
SM responded to the situation with a statement that reads: “Seunghan, through recent privacy issues circulating on social media and online communities, has inadvertently caused disappointment to both RIIZE and the fans. After careful consideration, he has chosen to temporarily suspend his activities for the sake of the group.”
SM also issued a warning against unauthorized leaks and said the company would take legal measures against those responsible for the spread of Seunghan’s private content.
