Evan (Evan, Lee Hee-seung), formerly of boy group ENHYPEN, shared his thoughts on his solo debut.

On the 7th, Evan held a showcase to commemorate the release of his first mini-album 'DEATH OF ME' at Kyung Hee University's Peace Hall in Hoegi-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul.

'DEATH OF ME' is an album that captures Evan's most sincere inner self and his resolve to move forward. The title track of the same name is a song in which Evan personally participated in both lyrics and composition, conveying a message of unwavering determination that "no one can stop me" and a commitment to never lose himself.

On this day, Evan said, "The title track had already been drafted, but I completely scrapped it and rewrote the lyrics from scratch. Even after completing the draft, I stayed up all night, revising and refining until the current version was born," revealing his deep dedication to the new song.

He also explained the background behind his departure from the group. Earlier this March, Evan suddenly left ENHYPEN. However, while he has become independent from the team, he remains under contract with Billif Lab.

Regarding this, Evan stated, "Throughout my musical journey, I have constantly pondered how to present my music moving forward and what approach to take. After sharing the results of my work with company staff and engaging in deep discussions, I ultimately decided to become a solo artist after much deliberation. Fortunately, I was able to successfully complete my debut single, and receiving such overwhelming love made me feel unworthy but grateful. I am also deeply moved that this album has been released without any issues. While it is a comeback for the group, for me, it marks a new beginning. I believe I will be able to show various sides of myself. I will strive to respond to many fans through my music."

'DEATH OF ME' was released at 6 p.m. on the 7th via various online music platforms.
