He has been responsible for major chorus parts in Enhypen, and has shown musical talent by participating in rap, lyric writing, and composing.

After Heeseung's departure, Enhypen will reorganize as a six-member team. Heeseung will start anew as a solo artist, and Enhypen will continue activities as a six-member group from upcoming official schedules. Fans respect Heeseung's choice and express anticipation for Enhypen's future activities.

This change came as sudden news to fans, and Enhypen stated they will strengthen communication with fans and strive to show a more developed image. Enhypen will continue to cherish their relationship with Engine and do their best to maintain the team's identity.
