In A Surprise Move, SM Says Seunghan Is Making His Solo Debut In The 2nd Half Of 2025
Seunghan, who departed from the group RIIZE, is set to debut as a solo artist, SM has announced!
On the 15th of November, SM Entertainment issued a statement confirming that Seunghan will be making his solo debut in the 2nd half of 2025.
This comes as many international fans continue to boycott RIIZE’s content and being generally very critical of SM’s actions that led to Seunghan’s re-addition and ultimate departure from RIIZE.
Many international fans are not particularly pleased with the news as they wanted the idol to be back in his group. Also, many found it especially odd that SM announced his debut plans when he’s scheduled to debut in the far future as SM barely confirms such plans so much in advance.
Below is SM Entertainment’s official statement regarding Seunghan’s solo debut:
Hello, this is SM Entertainment.
We would like to provide an update regarding the activities of our artist, Seunghan.
Seunghan is preparing for his debut as a solo artist, aiming for the second half of 2025.
To this end, he is receiving systematic training and support in producing and management while continuing his practice.
Future updates about Seunghan will be shared through the official SNS account launched today (15th).
Seunghan is determined to show a new side of himself as a solo artist, pursuing his dreams and showcasing his talent. We kindly ask for your warm support and interest.
Thank you.
Previously, on the 11th of October, SM Entertainment issued an official statement announcing Seunghan’s return to the group. He later posted a handwritten letter on the fan communication platform Weverse confirming this. However, Korean fans soon expressed their opposition to re-adding him to the group, they began sending death flower wreaths to SM’s building. The situation was so bad that over 1000 wreaths were at the site.
Then, two days later, SM announced that he’s leaving the group, and the idol himself also confirmed this via a handwritten letter to fans saying he doesn’t want to cause any more harm to the group.
Are you happy that Seunghan is making his solo debut next year?
