Meanwhile, on the previous day, ENHYPEN’s agency, BELIFT LAB, announced through an official statement: “We have been contemplating and discussing ENHYPEN’s future direction and goals. We had in-depth conversations about each member’s vision for the future and the team’s direction. In that process, we confirmed that Heeseung’s musical aspirations were clear, and we decided to respect them,” announcing Heeseung’s departure.

They continued, “We understand that this news may be difficult for all fans to accept with the same heart. Nevertheless, we ask for your generous understanding that this decision is for the future of ENHYPEN and Heeseung.”

Heeseung shared a handwritten letter stating, “The past six years have been filled with moments too overwhelming and precious to express in words. I will never forget those moments and want to continue to be someone who supports ENHYPEN more than anyone else.” He added, “I shared the results of my work with the company and spent a lot of time discussing and talking with many people about how best to present it. After much deliberation, I made a big decision to approach ENGENEs in a better light, following the direction proposed by the company,” explaining the background behind his decision to leave.

Accordingly, Heeseung will be pursuing his own path independently from ENHYPEN, and ENHYPEN will continue its activities as a six-member group from their upcoming official schedules.
