Seung Han, a former member of the group Rise, will embark on a solo career in late 2025, according to an official statement from SM Entertainment released on November 15. The agency confirmed, “Seung Han is preparing to debut as a solo artist in the second half of 2025, with structured support in areas like training, production, and management.”
Seung Han’s solo preparations come on the heels of a turbulent journey with Rise. After debuting with the group in September 2022, Seung Han faced backlash due to a private issue from his trainee days, which led to an indefinite hiatus. Although he announced his return to the industry on October 11, 2023, fan opposition mounted swiftly, and within two days, he decided to officially leave the group.
The announcement of his solo debut marks a new beginning for Seung Han as he sets out to re-establish himself in the music industry. SM Entertainment revealed that a new social media account for Seung Han has been launched, stating, “All updates regarding Seung Han’s solo activities will be shared through this newly created official account.”
According to the agency, Seung Han is undergoing extensive training and preparation to ensure a successful launch as a soloist. “He is receiving comprehensive training in performance, vocals, and image-building, with our dedicated support in all areas to prepare him for a well-rounded debut,” SM Entertainment emphasized.
Despite his departure from Rise, SM Entertainment expressed confidence in Seung Han’s potential as an artist. The company noted, “As a solo artist, Seung Han aims to showcase a new side of himself and pursue his dreams with talent and dedication. We hope fans will view his journey with understanding and support his endeavors.”
Seung Han’s transition from a group to a solo career comes with considerable industry interest and public scrutiny. As a solo artist, he faces the challenge of overcoming past controversies while establishing a new identity. For Seung Han, this solo debut represents a fresh start and a chance to redefine his image, paving a path forward after the struggles he faced as a group member.
The upcoming months will see the gradual buildup to his solo debut, with SM Entertainment expected to unveil more details about his concept and music direction as the debut date approaches. This announcement positions Seung Han’s 2025 debut as one of the most closely watched events in K-pop, with both fans and critics awaiting his return to the stage.
