#canceljungwon This dance was created by a girl from Kazakhstan, yet you deliberately chose to wear a Borat T-shirt. Borat has nothing to do with Kazakhstan. The character insulted our country through a fictional portrayal.

I swear he’s the hottest man alive

[𝄞 @heerckstar]

and none of these happened LMAOOO

[𝄞 @heerckstar]

congratulations evan for being the only artist with overflow in their discography.

[ae 💫 @coffeekirdee]

after watching evan's documentary, rereading every official statement, & doing a bit of research, i think i finally understand why things happened the way they did. this is just my take. its long, but i hope some of u give it a read 😁

[🂱 @heesmyevan]

enhypen dropping album announcement as soon as evan’s debut (even though it’s obviously 2 months apart from release)

this stupid engenes really think they’re so smart 🤭

[teak | Ride or Die @ever4evan_]

The documentary and Heeseung’s interviews tell a simple truth: the group and his solo ambitions could no longer coexist.

The dreams of the other six members matter just as much, and Heeseung made it clear he didn’t want to hold them back.

He said he had so much he wanted to show but didn’t want to prioritise his own ambitions over the team. He didn’t demand a solo debut. He shared his work with the company, spent a long time discussing the best path forward, and ultimately agreed with the direction the company proposed.

Artists are human. Sometimes they feel constrained and choose different paths, and that’s okay. It's not selfish.

As fans, let's be kinder to the artists and each other.

Dont you love it when enjins brag about the pity votings when everyone and their mama knew everytime it came to producers ranking Hs got repeatedly Number 1😹😹

[sdz 𐙚 @Lucifertxxth]

They all are so obsessed with him.

sorry for the long rant again, but i think it needs to be said.

the k-pop industry has a bad reputation outside the k-pop bubble because it’s built on enabling parasocialism, “family” agendas,& shipping instead of putting musicality first.

that’s why some of you can’t accept that HS walked away from everything to chase artistic freedom & create music outside a grp concept w/o pretending he’s in love with another member or that they’re a real family.

this is exactly why some of his loudest haters are the most delusional fans in k-pop. they’re so invested in fictional narratives that they can’t accept an artist making a career decision for his own passion, growth, & creative freedom.

i understand the literacy issue is global, but how did you guys manage to twist his words into “oh, he wasn’t happy during those years”?

i’m going to use his exact words:
“back in my trainee days, there was a stretch where i was improving fast. back then i felt this huge sense of accomplishment and happiness. i felt exactly that yesterday.”

he was referring to the day he felt like his whole body is a wreck, completely exhausted from preparing for his solo debut.

how do you hear that from someone you supposedly supported (if you did) and somehow conclude, “those years meant nothing to him” or “he’s so ungrateful”?

he wasn’t saying he was unhappy before. he was saying he experienced that same feeling of rapid growth again.

maybe that’s hard to understand if you’ve never experienced genuinely loving your work, enjoying the people around you, and still wondering, “i’m happy here, but am i still growing? am i still learning? is this the fullest expression of what i’m capable of?”

those aren’t mutually exclusive feelings. you can be grateful for where you are while questioning whether you’ve stopped growing.

if that concept feels foreign to you, then i understand why you can’t grasp what heeseung was talking about.

but if you can’t grasp it, at least have the decency to stop rewriting his words and painting him as someone who’s ungrateful for everything he experienced with the group. that’s your projection, not what he said.

[solohee | 𝚁̶𝙸̶𝙳̶𝙴̶ ̶𝙾̶𝚁̶ ̶𝙳̶𝙸̶𝙴̶ @you_r_luvlee_]

When I say the shady narrative created by that group fandom shading heeseung will backfire on them soon. They thought they could ruin Heeseung's image because of that, but no they're ruining the group's image. The non-fans will see them as unprofessional and immature.

[pink🧞‍♂️ @evvapink]

Wasn’t the narrative before he left that he was quiet, reserved, and had a low social battery? Since when did it become that he wanted to stand out lmao 😭

[HeelingVoice1015 | Fan account @HeelingMusic]

I feel bad for Heeseung. While he was in the group, he always had to put in extra effort for the group's quality music, and he willingly shared even what he had created almost entirely with the members (its your fave’s own words) yet this fd dares to speak of him so ungratefully

[세리🪽 @evanmoncheri]

from his letter, he essentially said the same thing. you guys just aren’t willing to look at what’s happening from a wider perspective.

he made a choice based on the company’s suggestion. you’re so close to realizing that none of these decisions were ever made in isolation.

the documentary literally shows him in a room with belift executives and the creative team discussing his debut. the choice presented was between two songs he genuinely wanted to release, both were songs he poured himself into. in the end, he chose ride or die because the people around him believed it would work better for the team, giving everyone more room to build the promotions and materials. the decision he talked about in his letter could very well have followed that same process.

people also seem to ignore that there were executives suggesting what his title track should be about. yet when you actually listen to ride or die, none of the lyrics reflect the more commercial direction they were proposing. in the end, the song is still filled with the words he sincerely wanted to share with his fans.

you have to understand that not every choice starts out as his first preference. but he made a choice regardless. he listened, considered the people around him, and made a decision. even if it wasn’t a decision born solely from his own initial preference, he made it something he could fully stand behind by pouring his sincerity into the lyrics he wanted to share with his fans.

so to the people who keep making assumptions about his decisions or trying to strip him of his agency, please give it a rest.
