Theories erupt among fans about Seunghan’s departure from RIIZE – Why is Min Hee Jin mentioned?

Seunghan’s abrupt departure from RIIZE shocked the BRIIZE community and other K-pop fandoms. Amid the growing outrage, fans have begun to offer their theories and speculations about the idol’s exit from the group.

Previously, on October 11, Wizard Production, SM’s management label, announced that Seunghan would finally return to the group after a long break. Seunghan’s handwritten letter followed, addressing his past controversies and expressing his determination to improve.

However, the idol’s return sparked mixed reactions, with many fans expressing their excitement while OT6 BRIIZEs protested the decision.

On October 13th, Wizard Production released a statement announcing Seunghan’s departure from RIIZE. The announcement immediately angered the K-pop community. Fan communities expressed their disdain and started a boycott of SM given the way they handled Seunghan’s situation.

Amid the ongoing heat, many theories about his exit have emerged on social media. Some wondered if Seunghan was founded by someone in the industry, but emphasized that he, along with former ILLIT member Youngseo and former LE SSERAFIM member Garam, were trainees at Source Music.

They also suspected that Min Hee Jin was involved in Seunghan’s departure.

I wouldn’t be shocked if MHJ had something to do with it…

She was initially responsible for setting up a new GG for Source Music, but later negotiated her own label. Now, a member of each of the groups that she believed were competing with or copying NewJeans has left their respective groups pic.twitter.com/t4srg8FgC3

On the other hand, some netizens argued that the rumors were far off and unlikely to come true.

The fact that you all prefer to blame mhj instead of actually finding out who did it or taking action against idols’ leaks is so funny to me https://t.co/zVmsIfnr6n

Another case that goes nowhere because you all resort to conspiracies instead of seeing things as they are and never actually doing anything big. https://t.co/AOIATS0MeC

Garam’s scandal erupted when an ex-girlfriend spread lies about her. Ex-girlfriend had nothing to do with Soumu so let’s spread false stories https://t.co/euZTbd08Xe

I don’t think she’s not a good person, but the way you all try to drag her into everything that’s happening in Kpop/Korea is getting ridiculous. These idols are real people who have been through terrible shit. You deserve to be treated honestly and not caught up in some crack conspiracy https://t.co/OVctEYVtAU
