ENHYPEN recently made their first public appearance as a six-member group, departing from Incheon International Airport for an international schedule following member Heeseung's official departure. This event has generated significant buzz as fans observe the group's new formation and their continued activities.
On March 10, ENHYPEN's agency BELIFT LAB announced Heeseung's departure, citing 'musical direction differences' as he plans to pursue a solo career. Subsequently, on March 13, members Jungwon, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Niki were seen at Incheon Airport heading to Australia for the 'Hello Melbourne' music festival. The situation also saw some fans protest the National Pension Service, a major investor in HYBE, leading to a temporary disruption of its international pension support center with a flood of calls and emails.
Local bloggers noted the mixed reactions among fans, with some expressing support for Heeseung's solo path and the remaining members' new chapter, while others organized truck protests outside the HYBE building. Despite these varied responses, the group maintained a composed demeanor at the airport, waving to fans, as they embarked on their scheduled overseas performance.
