a member of a popular boy group leaving, that too without any controversy. a member who has had a very clean reputation all throughout his career. the member who was the center of their lore, the one who was the "main vocalist" left the group to pursue his solo career because his music interest were "distinct" as compared to group's music. while yeonjun from txt is a very popular member with a very distinctive music state as compared to txt is doing well in both his solo and group career. So the reason sounds utter bs.
i refuse to believe this is the only reason because this doesn't make any sense. this can't be the only reason. i have a feeling that this won't end well. they were growing so rapidly as a group, now suddenly they removed the member knowing how steps like that affects popularity of both the group as well as the member. It's either another controversy is about to take place, or belift want to debut another boy group and pay more attention to them so they are trying to hinder enhypen's growth as a whole. This is so self destructive on so many levels for belift.
Source music did the same with gfriend when they wanted to debut le serrafim. why debut people when you can't even manage them properly. i have been into kpop for as long as i can remember and i know once the company makes a decision as big as making a member leave, they never bring them back to the group. i don't want to have a fake hope that he would be back in enhypen cause it will just hurt more if he didn't.
also why would he leave when enhypen had their contract renewal next year. why terminate the contract just 1 year before the renewal when he could've easily left the group next year. it was just one more year, fans would've understood about the whole solo career then.
they were happy and giggly not long ago, we all saw it in the china fansign event. literally happened out of the blue.
heeseung, i hope you aren't hurting much. i hope there isn't anything more to this. i hope rest of the enhypen members are coping well, it won't be same. you all forever will be 7 in my heart.
