@ Redamancy_Bangtan Honestly, most of the informations are pretty much blurry for now... It was announced yesterday all of a sudden with not many information that Heesung would be departing the group, leaving ENHYPEN as a six member group :(
HYBE's ENHYPEN post was only published on weverse and X if I'm correct, and it was soon followed by a post from Heesung himself confirming that he was indeed leaving the group.
It was said that Heesung's leaving due to wanting to develop a solo career, I think it was, but there are many fishy things about that excuse...
First of all, Heesung really does love his members and fans and he could and would have probably done like many idols. Working on a solo career while maintaining his activities as a member of ENHYPEN.
Second, I haven't watched many lives lately but from other ENGENES, I've heard that before the news were dropped, many had noticed that Heesung was feeling unwell and even depressed? Normally, if it was his own decision, he wouldn't have felt that way but maybe just a bit of sorrow and nostalgia but also excitement from starting something he wanted but it doesn't seem the case.
Third, in his weverse post, Heesung didn't really say "My decision", he insisted on the fact that he followed "company's recommendations" after thinking, which means he, in fact, did not want to leave in the first place but actually just wanted to stay in the group.
I honestly think this is more the company's doing, with how the things seem like... And the reason must have been that he may have wanted a solo career while still being part of the group but HYBE took it as an opportunity to make more money. Taking Heesung out of the group as a soloist and leaving the rest as ENHYPEN will force ENGENE to buy 2x more merch and products, for their love of ENHYPEN and the want to support Heesung. I believe that all that is the case but maybe he just wanted to try something new but I think this is all too fishy for me to not.
