EVAN (formerly Heeseung of ENHYPEN) graced the digital cover of the American popular fashion magazine Teen Vogue, showing his presence as a global top artist. Teen Vogue released a digital pictorial and interview through its official website, highlighting EVAN’s overwhelming presence and drawing attention from fans around the world. In the released pictorial, EVAN showed a dynamic production that looked as if he were taking off into the sky while riding a motorcycle, expressing a free energy. He radiated a strong aura in a light style that incorporated distinctive props combining a guitar and a kickboard, and in a pictorial in which he cast a sharp gaze through a cracked helmet. With visuals that conveyed his hot passion for the stage and unwavering confidence, he heightened expectations for the original musical world he will present through his new release. In the interview conducted along with the shoot, EVAN said, “I have the feeling that someone is constantly chasing me, and I think that identity is probably myself.” He also revealed, “I am never satisfied unless I keep growing and changing, so I always set goals for myself,” showing a perfectionist side toward music. He also spoke candidly about his first mini album, which he produced himself. EVAN said, “Rather than expecting good evaluations simply because I produced it directly, I think the music itself must deliver a positive experience to the listener,” and emphasized, “I would be happy if people actually listen to my music and judge it for themselves. I will continue to work hard so that I can deliver good music.” EVAN’s first mini album, DEATH OF ME, includes eight songs in total, including the title track of the same name, “Death of Me,” and expresses his frank inner self through a variety of sounds. In particular, this new release maintained first place for six consecutive days in “Top 10 countdowns,” an indicator that competes for a top 10 ranking based on the number of Spotify pre-saves, and was receiving a hot response on global charts even before his comeback.
