As the aftermath of Heeseung's departure from ENHYPEN continues, the backlash has now spread toward music producer El Capitxn (real name Jang Yijeong).
On the 12th, El Capitxn posted a message filled with profanity on his social media, saying, "Stop sending me stuff about Lee Heeseung, you motherf*ckers. He can f*cking do that. If you're real fans, embrace him first before throwing stones. Why do you keep blaming me? You stupid bastards.
Following the sudden outburst, people who are presumed to bee Heeseung's fans protested. In response to a fan's comment saying, "If there were no fans, Lee Heeseung wouldn't even be able to debut. Fans come first," he replied, "If there were no Lee Heeseung, there wouldn't be fans either." As the controversy grew, El Capitxn edited his post once, writing, "I can't tell if these f*ckers never learned how to read or if they just choose not to." Later, he changed it again to ,"Alright, now get lost. Go play on Twitter."
Regarding Heeseung's departure from the group, some fans speculated that El Capitxn, who is known to be close with Heeseung, may have encouraged 'artist disease,' which eventually led to his decision to leave. In fact, El Capitxn is known to have collaborated with Heeseung, including participating in the production of his self-composed track, 'Highway 1009.'
Meanwhile, BELIFT Lab announced on the 10th that Heeseung has concluded his activities with ENHYPEN and that the group would continue promoting as a 6-member group. They stated, "We discussed the direction we should move forward and our next goals. We had in-depth conversations about the future each member envisions and the group's direction. In that process, we confirmed that Heeseung has a clear musical vision he wants to pursue, and we decided to respect that."
Heeseung also shared a handwritten letter saying, "I'm working hard on an album so I can meet you all again as soon as possible. I will always keep the love from ENGENE in my heart as I move forward."
