HOT: Seunghan highlights deleted from RIIZE Instagram account for being a teenager

Information reaching Kossyderrickent has it that Seunghan highlights deleted from RIIZE IG account.

RIIZE’s Seunghan has temporarily suspended his K-pop activities in light of the controversial situation. A statement announcing the suspension of a member’s activities was released by SM Entertainment on November 22. This decision was made in response to the private videos that were circulated online showing Seunghan smoking cigarettes and having video conversations with other K-pop idols. The statement also addressed the intention to pursue legal action against those responsible for leaking the content and spreading fabricated and distorted information.

RIIZE’s Seunghan issues handwritten letter apologizing to fans and RIIZE members:

— “Hello, I’m Seunghan. First of all, I’d like to say I’m really sorry. I know very well that my rash actions in the past are hurting too many people now. I’m really reflecting. I’d like to say that I’m very sorry to the fans and RIIZE members who always supported me. I am deeply reflecting because I think I’ve caused too much damage at a time when I had to work harder and devote myself more than ever. I’ll really reflect so that I can become a better person. Once again, I want to say sorry to the members, the fans, and the staff”.

Taking all things into account, SM Entertainment on November 22 released a statement. “Seunghan expresses sincere regret and remorse for the disappointment caused to RIIZE, fellow members, and fans in light of recent incidents involving the unauthorized disclosure and spread of his personal life on social media and online communities.”

The agency continued, “Given the mental strain and sense of responsibility arising from this situation, Seunghan has conveyed his desire to temporarily halt his activities for the well-being of the group. Acknowledging the challenges of continuing under these circumstances, we have chosen to honor Seunghan’s decision in order to prevent any additional harm to the group and its members. Today, we officially announce Seunghan’s indefinite suspension of activities with RIIZE.” RIIZE will now operate as a six-member group including Shotaro, Eunseok, Sungchan, Wonbin, Sohee, and Anton.

Since the group’s debut, anonymous sources have been coming out with rumors and allegations about Seunghan’s private life. The anonymous exposers leaked videos of Seunghan’s live broadcasts, photographs of smoking and kissing, and more controversial material. 

Seunghan and SM Entertainment made statements of apology back in August, when the first set of photos and videos were circulated. In SM’s prior statement then, they also mentioned that they would be filing criminal complaints against the unauthorized leakers.
