ENHYPEN’s Sunoo Bashed Because Of Heeseung (EVAN), Sparking Outrage

On March 10, soloist EVAN (formerly known as Heeseung) withdrew from ENHYPEN, sparking speculation, backlash, and calls for his return to the group. Now, fans are flocking to defend his former group-mate, Sunoo.

Recently, a clip of Sunoo tackling a demanding high note in ENHYPEN’s song “Moonstruck” has attracted attention online.

This part of the song was originally sung by Heeseung.

Some netizens weren’t impressed by Sunoo’s version, with some criticizing the star’s live vocals.

Oh now I get why Engenes went crazy when that heesung guy left cuz wtf is this 😭😭😭

However, fans quickly came to Sunoo’s defense, some claiming that the note is outside of his vocal range, while others shared other clips of his singing. Fans applauded Sunoo’s “courage,” given that it was first time performing the “Moonstruck” high note in concert.

That highnote is NOT in Sunoo’s vocal range, I bet it hurt his vocal cords
I think after Hee Jay would be the member to come close to Hee’s vocal range

But making the members perform songs that require insane vocal skills after Hee’s departure is just a set up.. I hate Belift
