K-pop sensation ENHYPEN is embarking on a new chapter, navigating their journey as a six-member group following the departure of former member HEESEUNG, who recently transitioned to a solo career. In an exclusive interview with Billboard’s Tetris Kelly, the remaining members – JUNGWON, JAY, JAKE, SUNGHOON, SUNOO, and NI-KI – candidly discussed this significant change for the first time.

JUNGWON shared that the group is dedicating considerable time to each other as they adjust to their new dynamic. “These days, we’ve been busy preparing for our tour,” he stated, referring to ENHYPEN’s ‘Blood Saga’ trek which commenced on May 1.
