Seunghan is finally speaking up about RIIZE after his controversial exit. The former member left the group in late 2024 after facing heavy backlash over leaked photos of him smoking and kissing his ex-girlfriend. Originally debuting with RIIZE under SM Entertainment, Seunghan took a hiatus in November 2023 due to the toxic response to his private leaks. He briefly attempted a return to the group in October 2024, but he was removed from RIIZE soon after.
Now, rebranding himself as part of a dance crew (named XngHan & Xoul), the idol is opening up about his former team for the first time. In a recent chat with The Hollywood Reporter about his new track” Waste No Time,” Seunghan shared his well-wishes for RIIZE: “I know that RIIZE is doing so well, [and] I’m rooting for them as a fellow artist.” Then, he added that he hopes his ex-bandmates stay “healthy and well.”
Back when his departure was announced, Seunghan left a message wishing success for RIIZE. Now, he’s stepping back into the spotlight as a soloist, alongside his dance crew. Fans who stuck around are supporting the new song, which is now being promoted on music shows. Watch XngHan & Xoul perform “Waste No Time” for the very first time here:
