and let’s be clear I will always love heeseung DOWN… do not speak ill of him. I can’t imagine this process has been easy on him in any capacity either. he deserves love and respect just as much. let him chase his dreams.
above all, I’m always so proud of enha for being outspoken. they’ve made it clear they WILL defend themselves when necessary, & I wish I could apologize 100 times that it continuously gets pushed to this point. all they ask for is respect, & it’s sad they’re not given even that.
To everyone saying "don’t erase 6 years of Heeseung’s hard work in ENHYPEN" we’re not.
We remember. We value it. That time mattered.
But it’s also true that since March 10, he is not part of ENHYPEN anymore.
The reality today is that 6 members are working hard right now under the name ENHYPEN. Their effort is real. Their work deserves respect, not to be overshadowed.
And let’s be clear: disrespecting ENHYPEN will never bring him back to the group.
Boycotting and clinging to the hope that he’ll return is not reality. It’s not going to happen.
Insisting on OT7 fanchants for a 6-member group only disrespects the members who are here, working, and performing right now.
We’ve been fighting about this for 4 months. It’s exhausting.
So respect Heeseung’s journey. And respect the 6 members’ journey too. They are separate now. Let them be.
and there it is. it’s been about RESPECT from the very beginning. that has been made abundantly clear. there will forever be a part of this that is devastating, but we’re in the present now. sadly, what’s done is done and all we can do is love Enhypen AND Evan on their own paths
#JUNGWON’s message during his live:
Everyone, there’s something I really feel I need to say, and honestly, this is the reason I started this live. I don’t think this is something we can just ignore and move past, especially since Weverse translations are available now.
I know there are a lot of people who really loved our past, and I understand that. There are many people who still love how we used to be. But there also seem to be many people who continue to deny the current ENHYPEN or refuse to accept who we are now.
Since we hadn’t clearly addressed this before, some people have been saying that we never gave a proper statement, and they’ve continued bringing up the number of members.
Of course, I understand the feelings of those who loved ENHYPEN before. But now… ENHYPEN is six members, everyone. ENHYPEN is six members.
I understand why some people still do things like certain fan chants at concerts because we hadn’t clearly said anything until now. I understand that. But it’s really not nice to see ENGENEs fighting among themselves because of this.
To be completely honest, it also disrupts our performances. It really does.
Now that I’ve clearly said this today, I think anyone who truly likes ENHYPEN and supports us will know how they should act going forward.
I’m going to be very clear because I don’t want to speak vaguely anymore. When people keep saying things like ‘ENHYPEN is seven,’ all it does is cause fights within our fandom.
No one wants ENGENEs to fight each other. The company doesn’t want that. ENGENEs don’t want that. And most importantly, the six of us don’t want that.
So from now on, I personally won’t consider people who continue to stir up these kinds of conflicts to be fans.
Honestly, this is exactly why I started this live.
I came here representing the members. I talked with them, and I’m speaking on behalf of all of us. The other five members feel the same way.
So I sincerely hope this stops.
Like I said earlier, it’s honestly very distracting during concerts. People spend a lot of money and time to come see us. Concerts are expensive, and it’s unfair to those fans as well.
So… I really hope everyone stops doing this.
Now that the translations are available, I think everyone understands what I’m saying.
And just to be clear, I’m not saying that our concerts in Brazil and Peru were bad. They were amazing. They were really great performances.
I’m also looking forward to our upcoming concert in Mexico.
I’ve made our position very clear. I’m saying this as a representative of ENHYPEN. The other members all feel the same way.
Please stop, and I hope everyone takes some time to think about this seriously.
At the end of the day, we’re people who work and perform for ENGENEs, and honestly… seeing all of this wasn’t pleasant for us.

enhypen is enhypen. i will always honor the memories of them as seven. but going forward, i will cheer for the six of them. paths diverging doesn't erase the past. just because things end and change, it doesn't mean it rewrites.
