[GACKT @GACKT]

4月25日。
デビューから27年だそうだ。

ここまで来られたのは、
間違いなく支えてくれたみんなのおかげだ。

よく周りから「凄い！」とか言われるが、
なんてことはない。

『ただ、すこぶる運が良かっただけ』

別に謙遜なんかじゃない。
素直にこの一言に尽きる。
実力なんかじゃない。

とかく何かに突出したものを持ってたわけじゃない。
人脈やコネがあったわけでもない。
人より優れたものを持ってもいない。

ただ諦めなかっただけ。
その上で本当に運が良かっただけ。

振り返ると、
長いようで一瞬だったソロの27年。
バンドからだと33年目。

その一瞬一瞬に、
確かな意味があったかと言われると、
それなりに意味をつけることはできるが、
その瞬間を必死にもがいてただけ。

それはここから先も変わらない。

何事も諦めない。
失敗することを恐れない。

予想は裏切る。
期待には必ず応える。
行けるところまで行くだけ。

今年もライブはかなり面白くなる。
期待して待っていてくれ。

最高のステージを届けるよ。

@lovrofmne7 Taka is so incredibly talented, he’s even better live in my opinion.

[~원~ @myseokryudan]

i don't think i've ever experienced true heartbreak like this ever in my life... the collective wailing of zeroses after zb1 left, the round of applause for them, and then more crying when the lights turned on and the realisation hit that they weren't going to come back.

@GACKT Please come to the U.S. 🙏🏻 I’ve been waiting for 20 years to see you live. 💖

[ً @heesevns]

honestly, i’m embarrassed by some “engenes” acting like they don’t know @BELIFTLAB.

ni-ki couldn’t go home for six whole years. sunoo consistently received fewer brand deals and opportunities than some other members. sunghoon wasn’t able to participate in the olympic closing ceremony. jake had to perform right after the passing of someone close to him. jay performed while injured and wasn’t able to heal peacefully because of busy schedule. jungwon had to face rumors on his own and ended up addressing the situation himself.

and you really expect me to believe that this company would suddenly care if heeseung said he wanted to pursue a solo career? be serious.

[ℭ𝔦𝔫𝔡𝔶 𝔏𝔬𝔲 @MidnightandGold]

@prodh33mazing @BELIFTLAB They need to allow him to do a live or something so that everyone can see that he’s actually OK. I am so worried for him right now.

[ℭ𝔦𝔫𝔡𝔶 𝔏𝔬𝔲 @MidnightandGold]

@sjakebostero This. People are saying even his friends can’t reach him. I’m concerned something even worse is going on here. I genuinely hope he’s OK.

[lua (semi ia) | ENHYPEN IS SEVEN @eternalgene7]

Okay. Let’s say this was Heeseung’s choice after all, that this was a long coming decision like everyone has been saying. Then explain this:

-Usually when a member has to leave, it’s never done abruptly unless there’s a scandal, or something outside of the management motivating it. There’s none.

-they had a comeback less than 2 months ago. Fan signs and Fancalls planned until April, festivals that were announced months ago. They even added a new date for the fan sign in China a few days ago. He attended one a day before the announcement.

-Content production and brand deals continued as normal. They released a collaboration with Listerine very recently. Their En O’clock (Enhypen’s show) episodes have been filmed in advance and were being released normally.

-Heeseung has been excited and eager to go to Australia with the members and JAKE since debut. He clearly was supposed to go since his flight got canceled today for a show in 3 days. He was part of the promotions for this event literally a week or 2 ago. He also probably rehearsed all of it with ENHYPEN up until now.

If this was long coming, and discussed carefully with the company, why wouldn’t he wait until the festival is over? So he can enjoy a last performance?

-His apparences to fansigns and fan calls have been either canceled or postponed LAST MINUTE. Last minute.

-Heeseung showed no sign of someone who was preparing to leave. He was literally talking about their future plans and spoiling the tour. BELIFT also teased a Japanese album release in March/April.

-ENHYPEN’s game, ENHYPEN WORLD, announced the release of OT7 merch literally 4 HOURS before the announcement. They retracted it after. If this was long coming, how come be lift’s management didn’t communicate this important info to each one of their collaborators?

-Even after the announcement, the morning show in 🇦🇺 was still promoting Enha’s interview as OT7.

So let me get this straight: Heeseung felt such urgency in launching his solo career that he couldn’t wait a week, imposed on everyone including his members and the staff his departure with no prior notice to management and forced their hand to remove him from every upcoming schedule even imminents ones even though he could’ve waited until everything was over?
That’s not Lee Heeseung. Absolutely not. Common sense would be to wait until everything is over THEN reach out to the company.

Also, why now and why like this? Is this how they are planning to start his solo career? By throwing him to the wolves so he can be called selfish and whatnot?

Oh but I thought this was a long discussed decision? If it was then why didn’t they prepare accordingly and not involve him in their upcoming work? They had months to prepare on how to handle this and They announce it out of the blue in the middle of schedules and promotions? You want to tell me this was planned? Are we 4 years old?

So unless LHS1 is being released next week or there’s a very pressing matter that we don’t know of that’s pushing him out of the group, this makes no sense.

A pretty cute easy life tip: When someone goes to show you something they love on the internet (TikTok, meme, etc) instead of being like “I’ve seen this” just say nothing & delight in it again with them, because they’re just excited & wanna see ur reaction cause they love you 🥰

@ryan__mac I’ve been wearing them for years during flu season and when pollen counts are high for my allergies. Not much of a change for me.
