Seunghan, a member of the boy group RIIZE, is back with the team this November! He took to Weverse on the morning of the 11th to share a heartfelt handwritten letter, apologizing to fans and members for his past actions.

In his letter, Seunghan wrote, “First of all, I would like to sincerely apologize to the members and fans.” He reflected on how he felt when old photos of him were revealed. “I felt a deep sense of disappointment and regret in myself. I can only imagine how the members and fans beside me felt. You must have been angry, surprised, and disappointed.”

He continued, “I’m sorry to the fans who have supported me since this important starting point. I also feel sorry for the members who should have worked hard together with me.” Seunghan expressed his gratitude towards his fellow members for reaching out to him during this difficult time. “It must have been a really hard decision, and I am very grateful and feel sorry for being given this opportunity,” he added.

Seunghan is determined to make a positive impact in RIIZE. “I want to become a necessary presence in the team,” he stated, showing his commitment to his role.

Earlier that day, SM Entertainment shared their official statement, saying, “We believe that the next chapter of RIIZE will be even more meaningful with all seven members together.” They explained that after discussions with the team, they decided to welcome Seung-han back.

He will join the group after a period of preparation and is set to participate in some activities planned for November, where he will finally greet fans again.

Seunghan had taken a break for about 10 months due to personal issues. SM clarified, “He has been deeply reflecting on his past behavior and feels sorry for the members and fans. We know his actions were not appropriate for an artist, and this time was spent thinking about the right moment for his return.”

With Seunghan back in RIIZE, fans are looking forward to what’s next for the group!

Actress Jo Hye Jeong turned heads with her stunning appearance at the Cannes International Series Festival, showing off a much slimmer figure—very different from her recent look in the drama Seonnyeo Dansikwon (Fairy Fasting Center).

Fans were surprised to see her glowing on the pink carpet in France, looking elegant and mature with a noticeably thinner face. Many couldn’t believe this was the same Jo Hye Jeong who had gained weight for her latest role.

On her YouTube channel, she posted a video titled “I entered a fasting center, lost weight, and fell in love too,” where she opened up about what really happened. “I didn’t actually go to a real fasting center,” she explained. “The director and writer asked me to gain weight for the role, so I ate a lot before filming. My face got so swollen, my eyes felt heavy.”

But things didn’t go as planned.

“Because of the crazy filming schedule and how hard I worked on the role, I started losing weight without even noticing,” she said. “By the end, my pants were almost falling off.” She added that she barely had time to eat, since she was busy memorizing lines and practicing songs for singing scenes.

The contrast between her look in the drama and her appearance at Cannes was huge. While her character had a softer, cuter charm, Jo Hye Jeong at Cannes stunned with a more graceful and refined beauty.

Her drama Seonnyeo Dansikwon was officially invited to the 8th Cannes International Series Festival under the Korean Fiction category, gaining global attention. The cast attended a red carpet event and special screening for international audiences.

Jo Hye Jeong shared with a smile, “I gained weight before filming, and during filming, I naturally lost it. In a way, my real life followed the story of the drama.” Fans also praised her confidence and fluency as she communicated comfortably in English with global fans.
