Amid news that group ENHYPEN member Hee-seung will leave the team, foreign media are also paying attention by continuing their reports.
The Hollywood Reporter, a leading U.S. media outlet, reported on the 9th (local time) that "K-pop agency Billifrap announced that ENHYPEN member HEESEUNG will leave the group but will continue his career as a solo artist."
Billboard and Forbes also reported the news of Hee-seung's departure, and the Economic Times said, "This news shocked fans around the world." Sunday Cardigan said, "Heeseung's departure was an important turning point in ENHYPEN's journey, but fans are looking forward to his solo career in the future."
Meanwhile, ENHYPEN's agency, Billifrap, said in an official position, "We have been contemplating and discussing the direction and next goals for ENHYPEN to move forward. 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, signaling his withdrawal.
"I know it can be difficult news for all of you to accept with the same mind. Nevertheless, I ask you to understand with a generous heart that this decision is a choice for the future of ENHYPEN and HEESEUNG."
Heeseung said in a handwritten letter, "Six years for me was a time full of overwhelming and precious moments beyond words. I want to be one person who never forgets those moments and continues to support ENHYPEN more than anyone else, he said. "I shared the results of my work with the company and talked with many people for a long time about how to show it." After a long period of thought, I made a big decision to leave to reach out to you in a better way according to the direction the company suggested," he said.
Accordingly, Hee-seung will become independent from the ENHYPEN team, and ENHYPEN will continue its activities in a six-person system from the official schedule in the future.
