announcement of the company yesterday that he would resume activities with Riize from next month.

Upset fans sent dozens of funeral wreaths to the SM Entertainment building demanding Seunghan's exit from the group with messages like "Hong Seunghan Out”, "Seunghan leave Riize”, "Exit Riize”, "Hong Seunghan buzz off”, "Freeloader Seunghan exit” and more.

Despite SM Entertainment saying that the decision was made after speaking with the group members who backed his return, company employees have also anonymously lashed out at the decision, reported Allkpop.

On Blind — an anonymous online community where users can posts and leave comments after verifying their employment at a company — staff members hit out at SM Entertainment for the decision which at least one individual saying was catering only to international fans and ignoring the group's local fanbase who were against the reinclusion of Seunghan.
