ENHYPEN member Jungwon issued a sharp remark to those who continue to insist that "ENHYPEN is still a seven-member group" even after Heeseung (currently active under the stage name Evan) left the group.

On the afternoon of the 9th, Jungwon held a live broadcast on the fan communication platform Weverse.

That day, Jungwon began seriously by saying, "I feel I must say this. There was a reason I turned on the live stream. I cannot just skip over it without addressing it."

He added, "It seems many people love our past image. While they appreciate our former self, there are still many who deny ENHYPEN's current form. Since we have not clearly communicated this until now, some have claimed that we (ENHYPEN) failed to speak properly and have been discussing the number of members extensively."

Continuing, he stated, "While I understand the feelings of those who loved the previous version of ENHYPEN, ENHYPEN is now a six-member group. Although it's understandable that we haven't clearly communicated this before, it is not good to see our fans (ENG) fighting among themselves. Honestly, it even disrupts performances."

Jungwon further emphasized, "Now that I have stated this so clearly, those who truly love ENHYPEN will know how to act accordingly. Let me be clear: saying 'ENHYPEN is seven' from now on is simply an invitation for us to fight among ourselves."

He stressed, "No one wants our fans to fight each other. Neither the company, nor ENG, nor most importantly, the six of us (ENHYPEN members) want it. Going forward, anyone who incites conflict will be considered not a fan."

Finally, Jungwon concluded, "I came here as a representative of all members; the rest share the same view. It is very concerning for performances too. After all, people pay money to watch us, spend considerable time traveling, and attend expensive concerts. This causes harm to them. I hope such behavior stops now."

Meanwhile, ENHYPEN is a boy group formed through the Mnet audition program "I-LAND" broadcast in 2020. They debuted as a seven-member group but were reorganized into a six-member lineup after Heeseung's departure last March. Heeseung is now pursuing solo activities under the stage name Evan.
