Ex-ENHYPEN Heeseung’s (EVAN) “Disastrous” Solo Event Triggers Fury Towards BELIFT LAB

Just after Heeseung‘s (EVAN) departure from ENHYPEN was announced, another fansign event for ENHYPEN’s latest musical release was announced. It was later announced that Heeseung would participate as an individual to allow the event to take place.

However, many aspects of the fan event left many unsatisfied and angry.

Heeseung departed from Incheon International Airport on May 22, heading to Japan for the event. Fans quickly noted that the idol appeared to have limited security, leaving him vulnerable to being mobbed, even after passing airport security.

At the event, fans were excited to see the idol, who spoke Japanese throughout the event. As it turns out, this was because no translator was provided for the event, leaving Heeseung to rely on his own Japanese skills and look to fans for assurance.

Fans also commented that the staff for the event were mean, the lighting was poor, and other aspects left more to be desired.

He was out there trying his hardest speaking japanese with no translator while the staff couldn’t even prepare the basics, meanwhile hs stayed sweet and attentive the whole time. Can’t y’all do your job for once! @BELIFTLAB pic.twitter.com/Sdtwaze327

japanese ENGENE said that “the staff were mean,” the “lightning was awful,” and heeseung tried his best to speak in japanese for 90% of the fansign because BELIFT simply didn’t give him a translator. heeseung went through the humiliation of asking for one in front of all fans and…

Impressively, Heeseung completed the event, promising to continue to work hard.

After the initial pandemonium at the airport, it was thought that the need for a certain amount of security would be clear. However, Heeseung was mobbed yet again, with some fans even grabbing and pulling on his bag while the idol was kind enough to take letters.

These aspects left many angry with BELIFT LAB over the company’s treatment of Heeseung.

So seeing everything that’s been going on with Heeseung today at his schedule in Japan was honestly unbelievable.

This man has been harassed, targeted, and dragged publicly for weeks now, and somehow belift still thought it was a good idea to send him to the airport with no…

It’s truly despicable of how Belift is treating Heeseung with so much disrespect.

Today’s event was his first offline event and held overseas and yet, Belift still didn‘t even provide him with a translator?! Heeesung only finds out at the same time as his fans, when he asked in…
