Just weeks after Heeseung’s departure, ENHYPEN are gearing up for another global run — and not everyone is on board.
On Mar 31, their label Belift Lab announced that the group will embark on their Blood Saga world tour, starting with three shows in Seoul from May 1 to 3. The six-member act will perform across South and North America, Asia, and Europe through 2026 and 2027, though detailed venue and ticketing information have not yet been revealed.
The announcement follows a turbulent month for the group. On Mar 10, Belift confirmed that Heeseung would leave ENHYPEN to pursue a solo career under the same label. HYBE said at the time that the decision was made “through mutual discussion” and “in-depth conversations about both the team’s path forward and the individual visions each member holds for their future.”

But fans online aren’t convinced. Some have accused the agency of rushing into another tour so soon after the group’s last one, which ended in October 2025. One fan on X wrote, “A world tour again?!?? Give them a break! Bring back Heeseung!” Another added, “What is wrong with Belift?”, expressing frustration that the group might be overworked just weeks after losing a member.
The backlash has grown beyond social media. According to The Korea Herald, fans have organised billboard campaigns, petitions, and even protest trucks outside HYBE’s Seoul headquarters, calling for more transparency around Heeseung’s exit.
For his part, Heeseung recently told fans in a video call that “the news came as a surprise” but assured them he was fine. “I feel sorry for the members,” he said, adding that he was preparing to release a solo album soon.

Despite the criticism, ENHYPEN appear ready to push ahead. Alongside the upcoming tour, they’re launching The Blood Diary, a new podcast series under HYBE’s original Spotify show Stan:A. A trailer released on Mar 30 teased members trading stories and playful accusations as they try to identify a hidden “liar.” The series debuts Apr 3 at 7 PM SGT, with new episodes dropping every other Friday.
Between the Blood Saga tour and their new audio project, ENHYPEN look poised to enter a new creative era — even as fans question whether they’ve been given enough time to breathe.
This isn’t the first time HYBE has faced fan fury over artist management. BTS ARMY have repeatedly sent protest trucks and funeral wreaths to HYBE’s headquarters, criticising perceived mismanagement like copyright strikes on V’s fancams or using the group’s name in corporate deals.

LE SSERAFIM’s FEARNOTs deployed trucks demanding separation from NewJeans amid fan wars, echoing calls to “protect your artists”. NewJeans Bunnies have similarly protested HYBE’s handling of their label conflicts, urging full-group activities. HYBE often responds with statements or apologies, but the pattern highlights ongoing tensions between rapid artist rollouts and fan demands for rest and transparency.
