Former RIIZE member Seunghan is gearing up for his solo debut in the second half of 2025. The announcement came through his agency, SM Entertainment, just a month after the artist revealed his departure from the group in October 2024. Fans have expressed a range of emotions about this news, from excitement to nostalgia.
Official Statement and Solo Debut Details
On November 15, SM Entertainment issued an official statement confirming Seunghan’s solo plans. The agency announced that they are providing complete support for his transition into a solo career. Their efforts include systemized training, production assistance, and thorough management guidance to help Seunghan thrive as an individual artist. The statement read:
“Seunghan is getting ready to make his solo debut in the second half of 2025. He is getting full support and guidance in all the areas that are necessary for a solo debut, such as systemized training, producing, management, and more.

This marked an exciting turn for the 21-year-old artist, who is eager to showcase his talents in a new light.
Seunghan’s Departure from RIIZE
Seunghan’s departure from RIIZE in October 2024 surprised many. He shared through SM Entertainment that the decision came after much thought. He believed it was the best choice for the group, their fans, and himself. His exit followed a 10-month hiatus that began in late 2023.
During his break, Seunghan faced public scrutiny after pre-debut photos and videos surfaced online. These images showed him engaging in controversial activities, such as smoking and allegedly making inappropriate comments about another K-pop idol. Despite his initial plans to rejoin RIIZE in November 2024, he chose instead to pursue a solo career.
Mixed Reactions from Fans
The news of Seunghan’s solo debut has sparked mixed reactions among fans. While many are excited about his future, others are nostalgic for RIIZE’s original seven-member lineup.
Fans took to social media to express their thoughts. Some comments included:
- “Seunghan as a solo artist is exciting, but I still see him as part of RIIZE.”
- “We don’t need solo Seunghan; we need RIIZE Seunghan.”
- “Of course, I’ll support him, but it’s hard not to miss the group’s original lineup.”
Despite the divided opinions, Seunghan’s loyal supporters are eager to see him grow and succeed on his new path.
What’s Next for Seunghan?
Seunghan’s solo debut marks a significant chapter in his career. His official Instagram account, launched on November 15, will be the primary platform for updates on his journey. Fans can look forward to seeing a different side of Seunghan as he explores his individuality as an artist.
SM Entertainment remains committed to helping him make a strong impression with his solo debut. With meticulous preparation and dedicated support, Seunghan aims to make his mark in the industry as a solo performer.
