Former ENHYPEN Member HEESEUNG Launches Solo Era As EVAN

The 24-year-old singer said the new name reflects his childhood memories and a more honest sound, while Belift Lab called the images his purest form.

  • On Wednesday, April 8, former ENHYPEN member Heeseung officially launched his solo career under the stage name EVAN, with BELIFT LAB releasing new profile portraits on his official Instagram account.
  • Last month, the 24-year-old artist departed the now-six-member group after six years, explaining on Weverse that he deliberated extensively to pursue individual projects without prioritizing his own ambitions over ENHYPEN.
  • Following news of his departure, a petition requesting he remain in the group received more than 2 million signatures, while the singer-songwriter previously wrote and produced tracks including "Highway" and "Dial Tragedy."
  • BELIFT LAB stated the minimalist portraits "strip away embellishment to reveal a raw, understated charisma," presenting the artist in his "most authentic form" with minimal makeup and styling.
  • He stated the name EVAN holds many cherished childhood memories, and while no release date has been announced for his first solo project, he hopes to reach fans with his most honest self.
