 'Controversy over personal life'Rise Seung-han's return speech'Members will hold hands again. I won't give you a chance' (Full Story)
Rise Seung-han, who suspended his team activities due to privacy concerns, expressed his feelings about returning.

Seung-han confessed his complicated feelings in a handwritten letter on the 11th.

Seung-han"First of all, I would like to sincerely apologize to the members and the fans. I looked like myself when the photos before my debut were released, but I felt so disappointed and regretful for myself. I don't know how the members and fans around me felt. I'm sure you're angry, surprised, and disappointed" he said.

"I'd like to apologize to the fans who supported me from the beginning, and to the members who were hurt by my immature behavior, and to the members who had to work hard together, I suddenly stopped my activities, and I'd like to apologize to everyone who had a hard time overcoming the situation." I think I felt sorry for such a situation and also felt hopeless that I couldn't be together. Since I've given you such a huge disappointment, can I be back on stage or can I continue to do music? I was thinking more realistically. Then, the members held hands once again", he confessed.

Also "It must have been a really difficult decision, but I'm so grateful and sorry for giving me the opportunity. The members who held my hand once again, the fans who are worried that the achievements I was building when I wasn't there, know so much to show to meet the expectations of the company for making such a difficult decision. I felt the pressure on him and of course I was afraid. But as much as you trust me, I think I need to work harder."

Seung-han said "I will try to become a good member with a sense of responsibility so that I don't put a strain on the achievements that the members have built up. I want to be an essential part of the team called Rise"Once again, I would like to apologize to the members, the company staff, and the fans who were surprised by the difficult decision. We'll work harder and be responsible," he promised.

Seung-han debuted as Rise in September last year, but in November, two months later, he suspended his activities indefinitely after photos and videos taken privately as a trainee were circulated.

However, Wizards Productions under SM Entertainment (SM), which produces Rise, decided that Seung-han would return to the team" he said.

We then decided that the next chapter of Rise will be more meaningful when seven members are together. After several discussions with practitioners and members about the future direction of the team's activities, we decided that Seung-han would return to the team. After joining the team and preparing for a certain period of time, Seung-han said, "I would like to participate in some of the team's schedules planned for November and greet the fans again. Please believe in the decision and watch it with a warm eye."
