ENHYPEN member Heeseung is leaving the group to pursue a solo career.
On the 10th, Heeseung shared a handwritten letter on the fan communication platform Weverse, informing fans of his plans for solo activities.
In the letter, he wrote, "The past six years have been so overwhelming and precious that words can’t fully describe them. That time will remain one of the most brilliant moments of my life that I will never forget. I never want to forget those moments, and I want to remain someone who supports ENHYPEN more than anyone."
He continued, "I spent a long time discussing with many people and sharing the work I’ve done with the company to decide the best way to present it to you. After much deliberation, I made a big decision to follow the direction the company suggested so that I can approach ENGENE (the official fandom) in an even better way. As you know, I’ve continued to work on personal projects, pouring in a lot of time in hopes of showing them to ENGENE. There was so much I wanted to share, but I also didn’t want to put my own ambitions ahead of the team."
Heeseung added, "I’ll work hard to prepare so I can meet you again as soon as possible. I will keep the great love ENGENE has given me in my heart and keep running forward."
Meanwhile, ENHYPEN debuted as a seven-member boy group formed through Mnet’s audition program I-LAND in November 2020. Following this decision, the team will continue with six members: Jungwon, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki.
