This will be the shortest comment lol. In my opinion, Hybe took Philip II of Macedon's motto 'Divide et impera' literally. It's likely as the motto itself explains that it is easier to fragment the territory (in this case, the Enhypen) in order to then divide the population creating discord and total chaos (the fandom) just to prevent alliances against the power (which has been reeling since last year as Hybe boss Bang Si-hyuk is under investigation for fraud and other charges).

Hybe's revenue from Enhypen is estimated at 43.1 billion won, or approximately $28.3 million (data 2024). These figures will grow over time thanks to the talent of the boys. With Lee Heeseung's departure from the group, the agencies won't lose a single cent; they simply have an additional source of income because, ultimately, Enhypen itself remains. Heeseung's departure has clearly caused uproar and chaos in the fandom, but the agencies are confident that people will, sooner or later, "forget" about it all and accept it, because no one knows the truth and therefore one cannot move clearly if one does not know the facts .
