It appears that Heeseung (희승) has officially kicked off preparations for his solo debut. The former ENHYPEN (엔하이픈) member recently launched his new social media account and introduced his new stage name.
On 8th April 2026 (Wednesday), the idol announced the start of his solo career with a new Instagram account under the handle @/h_evva_n. The first post features a series of photos that exude an unfiltered vibe, highlighting a distinct move from his former group. The account also unveiled Heeseung’s new stage name, EVAN (에반).
According to his official profile on the BELIFT LAB website, EVAN is a versatile vocalist defined by a trendy, sophisticated tone. The profile continues to introduce the singer and provide a look into his future solo career. BELIFT LAB also noted that the EVAN persona captures an alternate dimension of the 24-year-old’s identity, representing the essence of his musical artistry.
Through his new persona, EVAN aims to share a sound shaped entirely by his unique colour and emotional depth. The idol commented on the new identity, saying, “EVAN is a name I’ve cherished since childhood, one that holds many of my most precious memories. Through this name, I hope to reach fans with music that fully expresses my most honest and natural self.”
BELIFT LAB will share more details about EVAN’s debut soon. Meanwhile, fans have reacted to the new name and image, showing mixed emotions. While many expressed support, some are still understandably upset about the circumstances of his solo debut, notably how it affected ENHYPEN’s group dynamic.
Nevertheless, fans say they look forward to Heeseung’s solo debut as EVAN, noting that the idol always had a clear vision for his musical identity. We also wish the young idol success with his solo career.
