"Privacy controversy." Rise Seung-han leaves the team in the end.

Seung-han of the group Rise, who recently announced his return after suspending his activities due to privacy controversy, finally decided to leave the team.

Wizards Productions under SM Entertainment said on its official SNS, "We apologize for causing hurt and confusion to fans due to the announcement of the return."

After the controversy, Seung-han himself has expressed his intention to leave the team, and the agency added that it will help Seung-han achieve his talents and dreams later on.

Seung-han, who made his debut as Rise last year, decided to suspend his activities indefinitely in November last year after controversy over his private life due to the circulation of videos taken privately as a trainee, and recently announced his return.

Some fans who protested against this have sent a large number of wreaths in front of SM Entertainment's office building, leading to a backlash.
