I would like to carefully tell the fans about the return of member Seung-han and the direction of Rise's activities.

As fans know, it's been about 10 months since Seung-han stopped team activities due to privacy issues before his debut.

Seung-han has acknowledged that his actions in the past were wrong, and he is deeply sorry for the members and fans, and has been suspended for nearly a year. We also recognized that Seung-han's past behavior was not desirable as an artist, so we had a long time to think about when to resume our activities.

We sympathize with fans' concerns and concerns beyond curiosity because there was no guidance related to Seung-han's activities, but we are truly sorry that we are only telling you our decision on the direction of Rise activities now as we continue to worry from various angles.

The next chapter of Rise, which has been planned since its debut, will be more meaningful when seven members are together, and after several discussions with working-level officials and members about the future direction of the team's activities, Seung-han decided to return to the team. After joining the team and preparing for a certain period of time, Seung-han would like to participate in some of the team schedules planned for November sequentially and greet the fans again.

Seung-han has been constantly trying to build up his skills even during the suspension of his activities, and there is more to show in the future, so please keep a warm eye on him.

Once again, we apologize for the confusion and difficulties caused to the fans who watched and supported RISE's growth. However, Rise is a team that grows together and realizes its dreams, and the members put the team first and continue to practice hard at this moment. We ask you to trust our decision so that we can properly show our seven-member Rise to our fans.

I'm sure many of you are wondering what the next chapter of Rise will be, how much longer it will grow, what dreams it has, and how it will come true in the future. Rise Because those of us who are the closest people to us, and who are big fans of Rise, are also looking forward to the next chapter of Rise.
