We would like to express our gratitude toward ENGENE for their unwavering support for ENHYPEN and provide information on ENHYPEN’s future activities. BELIFT LAB has given much thought and consideration into ENHYPEN’s future direction and goals. Through in-depth discussions with each of the members about the future they envision and the direction of the team, it became clear that Heeseung has his own distinct musical vision and we have decided to respect it. As such, Heeseung will be parting ways with ENHYPEN, and ENHYPEN will continue official activities henceforth as a group of six members. It’s difficult to relay the whole process through a short notice, but this decision comes after extensive deliberation. We understand that this news is a lot to process and may be received with mixed reactions. Nevertheless, we hope you understand that this decision was made for the future of ENHYPEN and Heeseung. ENHYPEN remains committed to sharing energetic performances with ENGENE. Heeseung will be preparing a solo album as an artist under BELIFT LAB. We ask for ENGENE’s continued love and support for ENHYPEN and Heeseung as they start a new chapter of their journey. Thank you. Following the announcement of his departure, Heeseung took to Weverse to share a handwritten letter. Hello, this is Heeseung. First of all, I know many ENGENE must have been very surprised to hear this news about me, and I imagine many of you have questions because due to the sudden news. That’s why I wanted to speak to ENGENE directly. The six years I’ve spent have been filled with moments so overwhelming and precious that it’s hard to fully put them into words. Thanks to the members who shared countless emotions with me and to all of you ENGENE who always filled every empty space with your support, I was able to take step after step toward a dream that once felt impossible to reach. Those times will remain as some of the brightest moments of my life. I will never forget those moments, and I want to continue being someone who supports ENHYPEN more than anyone else. As I shared the results of the work I’ve been doing with the company, we spent a long time discussing with many people about the best way to present it. After thinking deeply about it for a long time, I made a big decision to follow the direction the company suggested so that I can return to ENGENE with an even better version of myself. As ENGENE all know, I’ve continued working on my own projects and spent a lot of time hoping that one day I could show them to you. There were so many things I wanted to share, but I also didn’t want to push forward only my own desires within the team. I’m well aware of your concerns and the many things being said. I’m working hard to prepare so that I can meet you again as soon as possible. My desire to come back and greet you with a better version of myself is completely sincere. Because ENGENE have always given endless love and support to someone like me who still has so much to improve on, I also feel very sorry knowing how surprised and worried you must be. But I believe those feelings come from the care and interest you have shown me. I will keep moving forward with the great love you have given me engraved in my heart. ENGENE! Thank you, and I love you.

Seo In Guk Dishes On His New Drama “Boyfriend On Demand,” Chemistry With BLACKPINK’s Jisoo, And More
Seo In Guk recently sat down with Singles Korea magazine to discuss his new Netflix series “Boyfriend on Demand.” Helmed by director Kim Jung Sik of “Work Later, Drink Now” and “Not Others,” “Boyfriend on Demand” is a romantic comedy that follows Seo Mi Rae (BLACKPINK’s Jisoo), an overworked webtoon producer who subscribes to a virtual dating simulation service to experience the dates of her dreams. On why he chose to star in the drama, Seo In Guk shared, “I think what first drew me in was the world-building. The concept was fascinating because it goes beyond a simple romance—experiencing a virtual dating simulation, and the way the story unfolds felt unique.” He continued, “The character Seo Mi Rae experiences various romantic situations in a virtual reality setting, so the show’s backgrounds are visually striking, which adds to the fun. Following Seo Mi Rae’s emotional journey and also tracking the emotional arc of my character Kyeong Nam lets you enjoy the drama even more. Before you know it, you’ll find yourself fully immersed in the drama. It gradually draws you in.” Talking about his character Kyeong Nam, Seo In Guk remarked, “He’s a character who often gets misunderstood. On the surface, he seems very cold and highly competitive, but when it comes to work, he’s a pro who handles tasks flawlessly. In some ways, he’s a bit clumsy too. He’s not a one-dimensional character—he has many sides, so I hope viewers can see him as a character with these various points.” Seo In Guk also talked about his co-star BLACKPINK’s Jisoo. He commended Jisoo, saying she is naturally so lovely and perfectly matched with the character Seo Mi Rae. He went on to reveal that she was the mood maker on set, and that as filming progressed, he sometimes felt like Jisoo and Mi Rae were the same person. On the similarities between him and his character, the actor commented, “I don’t think I’m as serious as Kyeong Nam. People who don’t know me might see me as serious, but I have a playful side. Kyeong Nam, however, is a calm person. He’s a little awkward at expressing himself, which is different from me. I tend to be more honest with my emotions than Kyeong Nam.” When asked if there were any memorable moments while filming the drama, he shared, “There was an important emotional scene, and that day, the wind was unusually strong during filming. It was supposed to snow in the scene, so we had to do multiple takes. It was quite late, and the owner of a nearby clothing store must have felt sorry for us because we were struggling so much. I remember they willingly offered us their shop to rest in during the setup time. It made me feel that the world is a warm place.” Regarding his expectations for 2026, Seo In Guk, who described 2026 as a “Year of Blooming” in a past interview, commented, “I don’t have big wishes. I just hope that the things I’ve carefully prepared go well. These are works created with effort from many people, not just the result of my individual effort. Even today’s photoshoot was like that. I hope the final result, born from all these efforts from many people, achieves satisfying success.” On his future plans, the actor remarked, “I’m working on a new album. I’m putting in a lot of effort since fans are waiting for it. Working with new composers is exciting for me as well. I’m preparing things step by step, so I hope everyone looks forward to it. Also, the drama I’m currently filming, “Back to Work!” (literal title), already has great chemistry, so I’m excited to see how it turns out. This year, I plan to show many different sides of myself, so please wait just a little longer.” Seo In Guk’s full interview is available in the March issue of Singles Magazine.
