Evan (Lee Hee-seung), formerly of boy group ENHYPEN, spoke directly about the fans' regret and protest incidents that arose after his departure from the team.
On the 7th, Evan held a showcase to commemorate the release of his first mini-album 'DEATH OF ME' at Kyung Hee University's Hall of Peace in Hoegi-dong, Dongdaemun-gu, Seoul.
That day, Evan openly shared his sincere feelings regarding the fans' regret and concerns following his exit from the group. He said, "I would like to express my deep gratitude for the attention and affectionate voices directed toward me. Although I made this decision after thorough discussions during my journey of standing on my own, I deeply understand the fans' sense of loss and their concerned words," he cautiously began.
He further added his firm resolve to stand on his own. Evan stated, "In fact, as Evan, I believe that showing this side through music and my sincere actions in the future will be the greatest repayment for me. I will strive to become an artist who continues to demonstrate positive influence going forward."
Notably, Evan mentioned that some fans reportedly sent protest emails to the agency and media outlets following his sudden departure. Addressing this, Evan bowed his head and said, "I have heard from reporters that there were protest emails and concerned messages from fans. I sincerely apologize for causing disruptions in work due to these matters."
'DEATH OF ME' will be released at 6 p.m. on the 7th through various online music platforms.
