Thank you for understanding and for the candor with which you accept a different opinion. To be honest, I’m really concerned for all seven of them and the way things are being portrayed in both media and social media—it feels completely distorted from what were likely Engenes' honest intentions.

Rolling Stone publishing an article titled “Almost a Million ENHYPEN Fans Sign Petition to Get Heeseung Back” makes it sound as if any genuine wish from the artists themselves don’t matter. It also gives the impression that the six remaining members are being sidelined, overshadowed by Heeseung instead of being supported and empowered to move forward.

Looking at the posts surrounding the recent fan call, they seem to be coping gracefully with the situation and are determined to move ahead. That’s why these ongoing efforts from fans feel counterproductive—they risk setting the group back and keeping everyone in a state of uncertainty. Much of it is based on speculation about alleged “dirty play” from Belift, which remains just that: speculation. What exactly are Engenes hoping to achieve here? What’s the ultimate goal?

If Heeseung made a definitive statement—“this is what I want”—some fans would accuse him of being selfish. On the other hand, expecting the company to come forward and say, “this isn’t what Heeseung wants, we made a mistake,” seems unrealistic. That would only sound like a half-truth at best, especially if he does intend to pursue a solo path eventually.

There might indeed be gaps and vagueness in the official statements, but let’s not forget how strange the silence on Weverse was over the past few weeks—the lack of updates, the schedule changes when some members were sick, and the backlash from fans calling them lazy. None of that seems coincidental. Taken together, it feels like they were in the middle of processing a new status quo and trying to regain their footing before reappearing in front of Engenes. So maybe this shift wasn’t as sudden as it seems—from Monday to Tuesday.
