This post may come as sudden considering what we have previously answered in response to an anonymous question, stating the network would still operate despite Heeseung's departure and would continue to support his solo career in tandem with ENHYPEN's new journey as six, but after much deliberation, ENHYPENET will be officially closing as of today.
This network came to fruition slightly ahead of ENHYPEN's very first comeback, in 2021, with the intention to be a space where ENGENEs on Tumblr could quickly find and share works pertaining to ENHYPEN at a time where our community seemed really small and the group was still at the early stages of garnering attention.
This March 22nd, barely two weeks after Heeseung's departure was unfortunately announced, it marked 5 years since we have been here. And, on a more personal note, I'd like to say that though this network has only been here for 5 years, I (admin Julia) have been dedicating my time and days to ENHYPEN for 6 years now, long before they were even a group, all the way back in I-LAND. I have been lucky to accompany every step the group has taken, some documented through gifsets I have posted on my own blog and others through gorgeous works I have reblogged in here, but I believe certain things must come to an end, and now is the time to move on — though rest assured I will always be supporting ENHYPEN: except in my own quiet ways from now on.
Though I am aware we will be receiving questions such as "why can't you get new editors" or "get new staff for the blog", I'd like to point out that our inactivity for a long period of time resulted in an extensive and exhausting queue, with posts in our backlog dated all the way back to halfway through DARK BLOOD era in 2023, and keeping up with 3 years worth of missed content on top of keeping up with new content is admittedly a lot for anyone. I'd like to say, on a sincere note, that I have made several attempts on scouting for people to help before, but it was to no avail — which I am not complaining about at all, and I completely understand!
Still, I'd like to highlight and say a big thank you to the people who have worked on this blog with me since its creation; this network would've definitely not reached the 5 year mark if it wasn't for you.
We also would not have spent such a long time running as a network if it wasn't for the suport of those who have followed us and the creators who have shared their work on our tag. We have always highlighted that our intention was to give all our support to original content creators and, despite our shortcomings along the way, I am greatly honored to say we have happily done that for such a long time. Aside from that, I can also say all of you have made my experience as a fellow fan on Tumblr a fun and unforgettable experience.
With that being said, I'd like to mention that despite closing down today, creators are still free to use our open tag #enhypenet anytime for as long as they wish to. Posts may no longer be reblogged to our blog, but I believe the tag can still serve its original purpose regardless — welcome ENGENEs and collect all forms of original visual content of ENHYPEN, including EVAN, in a easy place. Though the tag will no longer be watched over, I'd like to ask for creators to keep it as respectful and safe as it has been since day one.
And once again, thank you! I hope you all take great care of yourselves, and please continue to support (and create beautiful content for) ENHYPEN and EVAN in their new journeys.
With all the love, admin Julia / inhypen. ♥
(NOTE: You may see some things being changed around on the blog, such as tags and desktop theme, over the next days solely in favor of keeping it as a proper, easy-to-navigate archive.)
