Due to the turmoil surrounding his private life, RIIZE's Sunhan's traces have been erased indefinitely. On the 27th, a video titled "Getting Ready for RIIZE Premiere & Debut D-Day RISE & REALIZE EP.11" was released on RIIZE's official YouTube channel, capturing the preparation process for their debut. Despite being footage shot before the suspension of activities, Sunhan's figure has been deleted from all scenes, including dancing and debut showcases. In addition, there were no scenes of the six members appearing together without Sunhan. Fans who saw this commented, "The video without Sunhan is lonely," and "The members must be having a hard time fixing the choreography and other things." Prior to this, Sunhan was recently embroiled in a debate about his private life and suspended activities indefinitely. SM Entertainment, the agency, apologized for disappointing and confusing the group, members, and fans. Sunhan also apologized to the fans through a handwritten letter on the same day. RIIZE is currently continuing activities with the remaining six members. On the same day that SM Entertainment announced Sunhan's suspension of activities, they deleted his posts from RIIZE's official SNS highlights. The highlights of the six members, excluding Sunhan, remain unchanged.
