After Heeseung announced that he would be leaving ENHYPEN to pursue a solo career, the fandom has been in utter chaos. From fans wondering whether the decision was made under duress to protests about his sudden exit (trucks outside the HYBE building), there has been a lot of guesswork about the timing of the decision. With ENHYPEN carrying out group activities like before, their fancalls have been going viral for any mention of Heeseung or the group continuing with six members. In the same vein, take a look at what member Sunoo had to say recently.
Post Heeseung Departure, ENHYPEN’s Sunoo Says Different Choreography With Six Members Feels New
At an online fan meet, ENHYPEN’s Sunoo was asked what fans could expect from the group on this tour. Most fans who won the raffle have been kind to the members (at least among the calls that have been revealed on social media). This question was respectful too, with them asking Sunoo for a spoiler instead of focusing on the Heeseung exit.
However, Sunoo’s reaction took many aback. He specified that most performances would now feature six members, and that, in itself, would lend a new look to the stages. He thought it would “come across differently.” Additionally, the 22-year-old idol indicated the number with his hands, as if to hammer it in.
The gesture seems very innocent, and perhaps it was. Fans, however, seem to have created a debate over the same. Some think that it was to remind fans that they were now a team of six, especially since a section wanted Heeseung to return to ENHYPEN. They think that it even implies that the ‘Bite Me’ group is happy to move forward following the eldest member’s departure. Check out some reactions by ENGENEs on X (formerly known as Twitter) below.
