Controversy Erupts as Producer Al CAPITAN Responds to ENHYPEN's Heeseung's Departure

ENHYPEN member Heeseung's sudden departure from the group has sparked controversy, with Big Hit Music producer Al CAPITAN (real name Jang Yi-jung) posting a profanity-laden message on social media.

On the 12th, Al CAPITAN took to his social media to post a lengthy message starting with, "Stop sending me stories about Lee Heeseung, you XXXX. The kid can have his moments," accompanied by a photo of himself in a black jacket with makeup simulating facial injuries and a cigarette in his mouth.

Al CAPITAN expressed his anger, saying, "If you are real fans, hug him before throwing stones. Stop blaming me, you stupid XX." He further added, "I can't tell if these XXs are uneducated or just don't read." As the controversy grew, he deleted the entire message and left only, "Now get lost. Go play on Twitter."

Al CAPITAN, formerly of the boy group History, is currently a producer at Big Hit Music. He recently collaborated with Heeseung on 'Highway 1009.'

Previously, on the 10th, the agency Belift Lab announced on the global fan platform Weverse, "We have been discussing the direction and next goals for ENHYPEN," and "In the process, we confirmed Heeseung's clear musical aspirations and decided to respect them," announcing Heeseung's departure.

Meanwhile, Al CAPITAN is known for producing several hit songs, including BTS's 'Ddaeng' and Psy's 'That That.'
