“His Choice…” — Heeseung’s (EVAN) Recent Update Confirms His Departure From ENHYPEN Is Permanent 

It has been a little over a month since EVAN (formerly known as ENHYPEN‘s Heeseung) announced his departure from the group.

The idol has already shared plans for his solo debut, including the launching of his own channels of communication. One of these is his own personal Instagram account, noteworthy as none of the current members of ENHYPEN have individual accounts.

A post on his account has sparked discussion surrounding his departure again, analyzing his final moments as a member of the group.

On April 18, EVAN shared a new photo set on his account, featuring several photos of himself and other seemingly random objects.

Two of the images are mirror selfies, showing Heeseung and the phone he is holding, which appears to be an iPhone 17 Pro.

While this would not normally be something noteworthy, ENHYPEN have collaborated with Samsung for more than two years, and the members have only been seen with phones from the brand in public.

As a result, some have seen this as a sign that the departure is permanent, while also commenting on the other steps EVAN has taken towards his solo activities.

He already switched to an iPhone (which means his deal with samsung ended when he left enhypen)

He has his personal logo, which he has had for awhile given his earbuds. How much evidence do you need to accept he’s not coming back and he fully wanted this soloist life? pic.twitter.com/0d7YrdlQrK

ppl here still keep pushing the “bring him back” agenda when it’s clear he has already moved forward as a soloist, so why can’t enha as a group of six??

i hope we can all accept and respect their decisions and the reality we have right now.

Only ot7s are still in denial, acting like this wasn’t his decision, even though he’s been planning it for a while. and Apro, who he’s close with, even spoiled his solo album name or the TT with the “ride or die” emoji HS mentioned back in Jan pic.twitter.com/wFZP3WZPGW
