The agency reportedly also claimed that “ENHYPEN’s schedule remains extremely demanding throughout the year, making it difficult for members to develop independent musical projects while maintaining full group activities.”
The update arrives shortly after the initial announcement that the group’s main vocalist would be stepping away from ENHYPEN to focus on his solo career.
