Accordingly, Heeseung will leave ENHYPEN, and ENHYPEN plans to continue activities as a six-member group from now on." They continued, "It is difficult to explain all the processes in a short statement, but we want to convey that this decision was made after long consideration. We understand that it may be difficult for all fans to accept this news with the same feelings. Nevertheless, we hope you can understand that this decision is a choice for the future of ENHYPEN and Heeseung." Finally, they stated, "ENHYPEN will do its best to show the same stage and energy to all ENGENE (the name of the fans). Heeseung is expected to meet everyone through a solo album as an artist under BELIFT LAB. We ask for your continued love and warm support for ENHYPEN and Heeseung as they embark on new challenges." Heeseung debuted in the music industry in November 2020 with ENHYPEN's 1st album "BORDER: DAY ONE" after participating in the survival program "I-LAND" broadcast in South Korea.
