ENHYPEN‘s Jay is drawing attention after a pointed comment during the group’s first-ever Mexico concert sparked shock and massive speculation regarding the group’s relationship with former member EVAN.

Mid-performance, Jay addressed the crowd directly, speaking to fans about cheering on the members as six now, instead of seven.
It’s our first performance in Mexico today, and I think we’d feel so amazing if the fan chant for our 6 members echoed loudly. Everyone, please listen closely… We are six.

From other angles, the rest of the members can be seen visibly backing him up by nodding or giving a “thumbs up.”

Jay’s comments came a few months after Heeseung departed from ENHYPEN, later returning as solo artist EVAN while remaining in the same agency.

On the surface, the transition looked clean, but fans have been paying close attention. This is far from the first time the members have made a point of saying “we are six.”

No, but this has to be like the 10th time the members have addressed this. The terms must be so bad. https://t.co/6m54LpEctg

As a result, many are convinced Heeseung did not leave on amicable terms with the rest of his former members. The consistent silence from the members around Heeseung’s solo work has also added to that impression.
They hate that man with a passion https://t.co/sjoscDZoX2

What are your thoughts? Do Jay’s words suggest there’s bad blood between the group and Heeseung after his abrupt exit, or are they just addressing fan concerns? Let us know in the comment section of social media posts.
