The group ENHYPEN will carry out its first official schedule in a six-member system since the withdrawal of member HEESEUNG.

ENHYPEN departed for Melbourne, Australia via Incheon International Airport on the 13th. They will attend the "Hello Melbourne" music festival at Flemington Racecourse in Australia on the 14th.

This schedule draws attention in that it is his first move as a team since Hee-seung's withdrawal. Except for Hee-seung, it is expected to perform in a six-person system, including Jung Won, Jay, Jake, Sung-hoon, Sunwoo, and Nikki.

Earlier on the 10th, his agency, Billifrap, announced that Hee-seung will leave the team and turn solo. The agency said, "We have been contemplating and discussing the direction ENHYPEN needs to move forward and its next goal. We had an in-depth conversation about the future of each member and the direction of the team, and in the process, we confirmed that Hee-seung's musical orientation was clear and decided to respect it," he said.

He achieved his first triple million seller with his second full-length album "Romance: Untold" last year, and won the grand prize trophy at major awards ceremonies, raising expectations for his future activities. Among them, the notification of withdrawal, which was delivered in a single notice and handwritten letter without any warning, led to a response among fandom that it was futile.

Heeseung expressed his feelings through a handwritten letter. He said, "I shared the results of my work with the company and talked with many people for a long time to think about how to show this. "After a long period of thought, I made a big decision to reach out to you in a better way, depending on the direction the company suggested," he said.

"I am well aware of your concerns and various stories. I will be preparing hard to meet you again as soon as possible. The desire to visit you in a better way is more sincere than anyone else. I will be the one who runs with the engine that you have given me so much love in your heart," he said.

However, the sudden news of the withdrawal also led to a backlash. In front of Hive's office building, truck protests continued by some fans demanding Hee-seung's reversal of his withdrawal. In addition, some fans were heading elsewhere in the direction of anger, such as leaving malicious comments on SNS toward people around ENHYPEN.

In response, six ENHYPEN members started to soothe their fans through their official SNS. They said, "I think you must have been very surprised to see the announcement today. "I was the first to worry about what the engine would think," he said. "I respect and support Hee-seung's choice and new start. We will never forget to be stronger and grateful every moment to become a proud and proud ENHYPEN to our precious engines who support and support us anytime, anywhere," he said.

Even after Hee-seung's independence, the members showed teamwork by emphasizing trust in each other and affection for their fans. Despite the sudden change, it continues to communicate with fans, raising expectations for future activities.

Meanwhile, ENHYPEN debuted through the Mnet audition program 'Ireland' in 2020. It has built a global fandom by releasing hit songs such as 'Byte Me', 'Polaroid Love', and 'XO'.
