[NOTICE] ENHYPEN’s Future Activities<\/p>\n

Hello, this is BELIFT LAB.<\/p>\n

\n\tHeeseung took to the group\u2019s Weverse community to share a message with fans about the news. \u201cThe six years I\u2019ve spent have been filled with moments so overwhelming and precious that it\u2019s hard to fully put them into words,\u201d he says in the post, according to a translation from Soompi<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThanks to the members who shared countless emotions with me and to all of you Engene (the group\u2019s fanbase) who always filled every empty space with your support, I was able to take step after step toward a dream that once felt impossible to reach,\u201d he continues. \u201cThat time will remain one of the shining moments in my life that I\u2019ll never forget. I never want to forget those moments, and I want to continue being one person who cheers for Enhypen more than anyone else.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe rest of Heeseung\u2019s statement reads, \u201cWhile sharing the results of my work so far with the company, I\u2019ve spent a long time discussing and deliberating with many people about the best way to present it to you, and after much deep thought over a long period, I\u2019ve made a big decision to follow the direction the company suggested, in order to approach you Engenes in an even better form. As you Engenes know, I\u2019ve continued my personal projects, pouring a lot of time into them in the hope of one day showing them to you. There was so much I wanted to share, but I also didn\u2019t want to put my own desires ahead of the team. I know about your worries and all the various stories out there. I\u2019m working hard to prepare so I can meet you all again as soon as possible. The desire to come back to you in an even better form is more sincere than anything. Since you\u2019ve always given endless love and affection to someone as imperfect as me, I can understand why you\u2019re feeling shocked and worried, and that makes me feel deeply sorry. I think it\u2019s because you\u2019ve cherished and cared for me so much that these feelings arise. I\u2019ll keep the immense love you\u2019ve given me all this time engraved in my heart and run forward as that person. Engene! Thank you, and I love you.\u201d<\/p>\n
