2020–2025: Debut with Enhypen

In 2017, Heeseung joined Big Hit Entertainment as a trainee after being scouted from an entrance exam.[1] He 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.[2] On November 30, 2020, he debuted as a member of Enhypen with the release of their first extended play (EP) Border: Day One.[3]

On November 28, 2022, 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.[4]

2026–present: Departure from Enhypen and planned solo debut

On March 10, 2026, Belift Lab announced that Heeseung would be leaving Enhypen to pursue a solo career while remaining with the label.[8][9] The sudden nature of his departure surprised fans, who launched a Change.org petition urging the label to allow him to release a solo album while continuing to be a member of the group.[10] The label reaffirmed on March 15 that he would not be returning to the group.[11] On April 8, Belift announced that Heeseung would be changing his stage name to "Evan," a name he has used since childhood.
