ENHYPEN’s Heeseung Departs Group to Pursue Solo Career Under BELIFT LAB

On March 10, 2026, BELIFT LAB, the agency managing ENHYPEN, officially announced that member Heeseung will be parting ways with the popular K-pop boy group. This decision came after thorough discussions among the members and the agency regarding their individual future visions and the overall direction of the team. The statement highlighted that Heeseung has a clear and distinct musical path he wishes to follow, and the agency chose to respect this fully. As a result, Heeseung will no longer participate in ENHYPEN’s group activities, and the group will proceed with its remaining six members: Jungwon, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki. Importantly, Heeseung will stay signed with BELIFT LAB and is set to debut as a solo artist, with preparations already underway for his first solo album. Heeseung personally addressed fans through a handwritten letter, expressing deep gratitude for the love and support from ENGENEs (the group’s fandom) during his time in ENHYPEN. He emphasised that he will always cherish those memories and continue to cheer for the group wholeheartedly while embarking on his solo journey. The announcement has sparked widespread reactions among fans, ranging from devastation and sadness to understanding and support for Heeseung’s new chapter. Many compare it to other high-profile departures in music groups, underscoring the emotional impact on the K-pop community. ENHYPEN, who debuted in 2020, remains one of the leading fourth-generation boy bands, and this change marks a significant turning point for both the artist and the group.
