Heeseung teases R&B mixtape

ENHYPEN’s Heeseung teased a solo project leaning R&B/dnb/Latin — he says the concept is “sincerity in stillness,” claims he’s written 10 songs (noting 3‑hour writing sessions), and fans are already hyped for the genre blend X/Twitter.

On March 10, 2026, BELIFT LAB (billboard.com) formally announced that Heeseung would step away from ENHYPEN to prepare a solo album. Heeseung followed the label notice by posting a handwritten letter on Weverse that included the line “I’m aware of the concerns,” a message reported and translated by Billboard. (billboard.com) Korea Times counted roughly 700,000 fan responses demanding clarity and details in the days after the announcement, underscoring the global reaction. (koreatimes.co.kr) Heeseung has already released solo material under his full name—“Sincerity” was published in October 2024 and is credited to HEESEUNG HWANG on official streaming uploads. (youtube.com) He’s credited as a producer on earlier individual work (including the self-produced track “Highway 1009”), evidence the artist has been building behind-the-scenes writing and production experience. (magazine.weverse.io) Media outlets reported both supportive and skeptical fan debate about whether the decision was artist-led or label-driven, with sports and pop sites noting fans publicly questioning BELIFT LAB’s role. (sportskeeda.com) BELIFT LAB’s statements also said Heeseung will remain signed to the agency while preparing solo activities, meaning upcoming releases will likely be coordinated through his current label.
