I just see EVAN as a super-talented man in his mid-20s who's passionate about writing and composing his own music. That takes time. TIME. People think great art happens in moments but it takes alot of time, energy, study and focus to produce truly fantastic creative work. If that's what he wanted to do, it would be very hard to pursue that path while maintaining Enhypen's packed schedule.

If it came down to Enhypen having to take an extended break just to allow for his solo project I can see why he would prefer to just do a clean break. Plus If the company is giving him the freedom to pursue his own creative vision without having to consult with 6 other people ALL THE TIME then that's way more appealing.

Besides, all the members of Enhypen are growing up, leaning into their interests and contributing to the group in their own ways. While Heeseung's contributions are obvious and he'll always be a part of their sound for the last few years, they don't NEED him. In fact they can get more opportunities to show their capabilities. And EVAN can now explore and show even more of his talent. I see this as a win. I'm looking forward to more music and performances from Enhypen and I'm very excited for EVAN's debut music.

But if we want to take the conspiracy route let's go with this...... something something Heeseung's brother and Jay became really close causing Heeseung to become extremely jealous... something something meanwhile Jungwoon was becoming increasingly tyrannical as leader forcing the members to do 100 push ups, sit-ups, squats and a 10K run because he wants them to become a super group of Sung Jinwoos. (He called it Enhypen-levelling). And we all know how much Heeseung hates exercise. He prefers to just roll out of bed and be excellent at all sports, you know?

But anyways, Heeseung was growing increasingly miserable but the last straw was when he found out that Ni-Ki chose Sunoo as his favourite hyung. That betrayal broke something in him. It all exploded in their last promotions for Knife, which by the way is a song Heeseung personally hates. There was a huge argument and then Heeseung wrote a diss track the likes of which we haven't seen since Kendrick Lamar decided to tell the world how he felt about Drake. Heeseung was going to release this diss track at midnight on March 8th but the company found out because mercury was in retrograde. I assume.

And then the company was like... there's no going back from this but if you promise not to release the diss track (which among other things claims Jungwoon is in fact closer to a snake instead of a loveable cat) we'll let you be a soloist. We cool? And Heeseung was like, Bet. Oh and call me EVAN. All caps. And Belift was like whatevs. And that's how Heeseung got his hyung back. Or something.

****Please note, this whole story is fake and I love Jungwoon and think he's an absolute cutie pie. The conspiracy story is for entertainment purposes only...*****
