Career

2020–2025: Enhypen and solo career

In 2020, Heeseung competed in the survival reality competition show I-Land in 2020, finishing in fifth place and earning a spot in the debut lineup of Enhypen.[7] On November 30, 2020, he debuted as a member of Enhypen with the release of their first extended play (EP) Border: Day One under Belift Lab.[8]

On May 30, 2022, Heeseung released a cover of "Off My Face" by Justin Bieber,[9] receiving positive reviews from critics. Larisha Paul of Rolling Stone described the cover as "wedding-ready",[10] while Billboard's Starr Bowenbank called Heeseung's vocal runs "subtle".[9] Gladys Yeo of NME praised the rendition as "beautiful".[11] On June 7, Heeseung appeared in an episode of LeeMujin Service, performing a set of song covers. Among others, he sang a solo rendition of "Tamed-Dashed" by Enhypen.[12] On November 28, the song "Zero Moment", performed by Heeseung and bandmates Jay and Jake, was released as a part of the soundtrack for the South Korean drama Summer Strike.[13]

In 2024, Heeseung produced and co-wrote a track from Enhypen's 2024 album Romance: Untold, "Highway 1009", which has been described as a heartfelt acoustic song.[14] In January 2025, Heeseung was featured in the Flo Rida single "Confessions", alongside Enhypen bandmate Jake and American rapper Paul Russell.[15]

In 2026, Heeseung was credited for co-writing the Enhypen track "Sleep Tight", which was released in January as part of the band's extended play The Sin: Vanish.[16]

On March 10, Belift Lab announced that Heeseung would be leaving Enhypen to pursue a solo career while remaining with the label.[17][18] Fans created a Change.org petition urging the company to reverse his departure from the band. As of March 12, it accumulated more than 1 million signatures.[19][20] In a statement to The Korea Herald on March 15, Belift asserted that Heeseung would not rejoin Enhypen.[21]

On April 8, Belift announced that Heeseung would change his stage name to "Evan", a name he has used since childhood. The same day, he opened an official Instagram account.[22] On May 11, Belift confirmed that he was preparing to debut in June 2026.[23] Evan made his solo debut on June 22 with the digital single "Ride or Die". It was accompanied by the B-side track "Overflow".[24] "Ride or Die" has been described as an alternative rock song with grunge and punk influences, while "Overflow" is a laid-back indie pop track.[25] He also appeared on LeeMujin Service, performing his solo debut tracks as well as covers of songs like "Save Your Tears" by The Weeknd.[26]

On August 9, Belift Lab announced that Evan's debut EP, Death of Me, would be released on September 7, with pre-orders opening the following day.[27]
