He attended a photo call for color contact lens brand Qrsessed at the Musinsa Megastore in Seongsu.

The event drew mixed reactions. Some fans showed up with their support, while other netizens were very critical of his visuals on the day. However, one moment cut through all the noise.

Throughout the photo call, several reporters kept calling him “Heeseung” — the name he left behind when he departed ENHYPEN.

Rather than correcting them or brushing them off, EVAN turned around, smiled, and greeted every single one of them. The clip went viral, racking up over 100,000 views.

It hit fans hard. Many pointed out that he had previously said people could call him either Heeseung or EVAN, and seeing him respond so warmly to his old name made that feel real. For many ENGENEs still processing his departure, the moment was a lot to take in.

EVAN is set to release his solo debut album later this year under Belift Lab. He will even take the stage at KCON LA 2026! You can read all about it below.
