\n\tAs ENHYPEN<\/a> readjusts following the recent departure of member HEESEUNG, the next few episodes of the band\u2019s weekly YouTube series \u201cEN-O CLOCK\u201d<\/a> have been canceled.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe temporary hiatus was announced by label BELIFT LAB on Thursday (March 12), the same day ENHYPEN had been scheduled to drop a new installment of the variety web-show. \u201cWe would like to inform you about the \u2018EN-O\u2019 CLOCK\u2019 series,\u201d a post on X read.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe \u2018EN-O\u2019 CLOCK\u2019 series, which was scheduled to be released every Thursday, will be taking a short break,\u201d it continued. \u201cWe will return with even better content in April. We ask for your kind understanding.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBillboard has reached out to BELIFT for more information.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe news comes just two days after the HYBE-owned company announced <\/a>that after \u201cextensive deliberation\u201d and \u201cin-depth discussions with each of the members,\u201d they\u2019d come to the decision that HEESEUNG would be leaving the septet in order to pursue a career as a soloist. The development sparked an outpouring of mixed reactions<\/a> from fans of the band, who expressed sadness, concern and confusion online. One petition<\/a> protesting the lineup change has more than 1 million signatures at press time.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen asked why HEESEUNG couldn\u2019t explore solo opportunities while remaining in the band \u2014 a model other K-pop groups such as BTS and BLACKPINK have successfully operated under in recent years \u2014 BELIFT told Billboard<\/a> in a statement, \u201cWe concluded that allowing HEESEUNG to focus fully on his career as a solo artist, rather than pursuing solo activities within the team, would be the most fulfilling approach for both ENHYPEN and HEESEUNG.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tGoing forward, HEESEUNG will remain under the same label while working on his solo music, while ENHYPEN will continue functioning as a boy band with its remaining six members \u2014\u00a0SUNGHOON, JUNGWON, SUNOO, JAY, JAKE AND NI-KI \u2014 with two of the singers appearing on Australia\u2019s The Morning Show<\/a> on Wednesday (March 11) for their first interview since HEESEUNG\u2019s departure, a topic they did not discuss.<\/p>\n

\n\tSitting next to JAY, however, JAKE did share that they\u2019ve been in \u201ca lot\u201d of rehearsals ahead of the band\u2019s upcoming concert at the Hello Melbourne festival. \u201cThere\u2019s been a bit of changes in the choreo with the formation, all that,\u201d the Aussie-raised performer said. \u201cSo we\u2019ve been practicing a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n
