Producer and artist EL CAPITXN has spoken publicly about Heeseung’s exit from ENHYPEN. On March 12, 2026, he posted a strong message on Instagram asking people to stop sending him stories and asking about his thoughts on the situation. His post included harsh language, but the main point was clear, as he said people should respect Heeseung’s choice instead of attacking him or looking for someone else to blame. Read his words here:
“Stop sending me stories about Lee Heeseung, you f**king bastards. F**k, it’s okay for the kid to do what he did. If you guys are true fans, embrace him first rather than throwing stones. Why do you keep blaming me, you stupid bastards?”
EL CAPITXN is a well-known producer who first debuted as a member of the group HISTORY before later working as an in-house producer at BIGHIT MUSIC. He has helped craft songs for HYBE acts and other artists, including BTS, TXT, IU, ENHYPEN themselves, and more. He is believed to be friends with Heeseung, which is why some fans apparently contacted him after the news of his departure from ENHYPEN.
Earlier in the same week, on March 10, 2026, BELIFT LAB announced that Heeseung would be exiting ENHYPEN and preparing to debut as a solo artist. Both the agency and Heeseung shared that the decision came after long discussions. Meanwhile, EL CAPITXN’s response added a strong layer to the whole discussion as ENHYPEN becomes a 6-piece boy group.
