In a heartfelt moment during his birthday live stream on April 20, 2026, ENHYPEN member Jay addressed ongoing discussions within the fandom, urging unity following the departure of fellow member Heeseung earlier this year.
During the broadcast, which has since been removed, Jay firmly stated, “ENHYPEN is ENHYPEN,” pushing back against fans who continued to debate whether the group should be referred to as “6” or “7.” He expressed concern for the emotional well-being of his bandmates, emphasizing that such discussions cause distress, particularly on special occasions like birthdays.

Heeseung left the group on amicable terms on March 10 to pursue a solo career under the stage name EVAN, still under the management of BELIFT Lab. With his exit, ENHYPEN now continues its activities as a six-member ensemble consisting of Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Jungwon, and Ni-ki.
While many fans praised Jay’s maturity and highlighted his guitar solo during the live stream as a standout moment, the situation has exposed deep divisions within the fandom. Reports indicate that differing opinions have led to harassment and conflict between supporters of both sides.

In response to these developments, BELIFT Lab has officially confirmed that there are no plans for a reunion. The agency stated that it is fully focused on supporting the members’ individual and group endeavors, particularly the group’s upcoming world tour.
As ENHYPEN moves forward, the message from Jay serves as a reminder of the importance of solidarity, both within the team and among its global fanbase. The group remains committed to delivering performances and content that honor their journey together while embracing this new chapter.
