Enhypen's Heeseung to leave band to pursue new musical direction, agency says Enhypen member Heeseung has announced his departure from the group, according to his agency, Belift Lab. The agency confirmed the decision on Tuesday, stating that Heeseung will focus on his own musical projects while the remaining six members of Enhypen will continue their activities as a group. Heeseung is set to release solo music under Belift Lab, though specific details about his future work were not disclosed. Belift Lab described the decision as the result of extensive discussions about the group’s future. The agency emphasized that Heeseung’s choice to pursue a distinct musical direction was respected, and that the decision was made after careful consideration. In a message to fans, Heeseung expressed gratitude for his time with Enhypen, calling the past six years “filled with overwhelming and precious moments.” He also apologized for any concern his departure might cause, stating he hoped to share his personal projects in the future. Heeseung mentioned he is currently working on new music and plans to “return with a better side” as a solo artist. Enhypen, formed in 2020 through Mnet’s survival show I-Land, debuted with the EP Border: Day One and has since released several tracks, including Given-Taken (2020), Drunk-Dazed (2021), and Tamed-Dashed (2021). The group’s upcoming 7th EP, The Sin: Vanish, is scheduled for release on January 16, 2026. The agency’s statement highlighted the importance of supporting Heeseung’s individual artistic goals, framing his departure as a natural progression rather than a sudden change. While the exact nature of his solo work remains unclear, the decision underscores the evolving dynamics within K-pop groups as members seek personal growth and creative freedom.#enhypen #belift_lab #i_land #heeseung #lotte_world
