[WhosPICK:VIEW] The Best All-rounder Idol: HEESEUNG of ENHYPEN "An ace to a masterpiece! A thorough analysis of the ability of Heeseung, 'the forever center'"

ENHYPEN's Heeseung was selected as 'the best all-rounder idol.'

 

From November 23rd to 29th, the global K-pop fandom platform 'Whosfan' has run a poll with the topic, 'Who is the K-pop's future, the best all-rounder idol?"

 

The idols who are known to be 'all-rounder' in each team were nominated in this poll that's based on the recommendation from the fans on Whosfan's official social media. The nominees included BTS's Jungkook, Stray Kids' Han, MONSTA X's Jooheon, TOMORROW X TOGETHER's Yeonjun, ENHYPEN's Heeseung, BLACKPINK's Jennie, Weki Meki's Choi Yoojung, and (g)i-dle's Jeon Soyeon.

 

After a fierce competition, ENHYPEN's Heeseung has turned over the result and won the poll with 43.18% of the votes. To this, Whosfan looks into the charm of Heeseung, who was selected as 'the best all-rounder idol.

 

▶ "Takes the lead with rapping, dancing, and singing," Heeseung, the 4th-generation all-rounder who will be in charge of K-pop's future!

Heeseung has an extraordinary episode during casting. He was an ordinary student even though he wanted to become a singer since six years old because he wasn't confident enough. One day, he took an entrance exam of an arts high school thanks to his dad's recommendation. On the way back home after the exam, he received contact numbers from seven different entertainment management companies, and the company that wanted to enter into the contract the soonest was 'HYBE' (former Big Hit Entertainment), his current company.

 

"Take the lead with rapping dancing and singing" - just like the philosophy of Bang Si-hyuk, the chairperson of HYBE, Heeseung also boasted his extraordinary presence in all areas.

 

Heeseung was talented in all areas to the point where he was called 'the legendary trainee' in Big Hit Entertainment where he trained for 3 years. ENHYPEN's members Jay, Sunghoon, and Jungwon shared their compliments, "I thought, 'I want to be like that' looking at the trainees who were good, and one of them was Heeseung," "Heeseung took good care of us even better than the Recruiting Development team," and "He always placed 1st at everything among the Big Hit trainees." Heeseung was an artist who was recognized for his ability since the trainee days.

 

Let's take a closer look at the ability of Heeseung, 'the legendary trainee.' First off, the vocal skills. On Mnet's survival program 'I-LAND,' Heeseung appeared as 'the vocal leader' among numerous trainees and led the team to victory, and he also shows off his undisturbed vocal skills even to the sudden request to sing live on radio shows. The comments section showed heated reactions, "Heeseung does not need an auto-tune. Auto-tune needs Heeseung" and "I can feel that he is relaxed during the live, and it's even better than the recording." It's better to experience it in person - if you would like to listen to his trendy vocals, we recommend you to watch a compilation video of Heeseung's vocals.

 

We also should mention Heeseung's dance skills. Heeseung has been in the center since the debut song 'Given-Taken' and held down the center of the performance. In an award show, he performed a dance break with member Niki and contributed to the group's nickname, 'the best performance group.' During 'I-LAND,' he prepared BTS's 'Fake Love' stage as a choreography leader and pulled off perfect solo dance in the opening, and he defended the top spot by receiving the best score among all the stages in the show.

 

Did you know that Heeseung who is the key member of the vocals and dance is also good at rapping? The executive producer Bang Si-hyuk said, "I was really sad when Heeseung said that he will quit rapping. Heeseung was quite good at rapping, but he let it go to focus on the vocals," expressing his regret. Heeseung covered SUGA's rap part in BTS's 'Boy In Luv' during the first fan meeting, proving his talent as the all-rounder that represents the 4th generation.

 

As a sidenote, Heeseung also has several talents in areas other than those of a singer. Not to mention sports such as soccer and basketball, he is also good at playing games. Member Sunghoon had revealed that his goal is "to beat Heesung (in a game)." He also has amazing English skills that can communicate with foreign members in English, wide knowledge of ramen noodles, and outstanding humor.
 

▶ 'I was waiting to become an idol. I'll take good care of you.' The key reason why Heeseung is the representative of the 4th-generation all-rounder!

 

Like his resolution to "pour in everything" when he appeared on I-LAND, Heeseung still does his best on all stages.

 

During the fan meeting on November 19th, he demonstrated powerful choreography even in the light dance with 'Hey Tayo,' a collaboration with 'Tayo the Little Bus.' He also softened the ENGENE's hearts before the in-person fan meeting, saying, "It's our goal to make you happy as long as you bring yourself and 'ENGENE-bong' (ENHYPEN's lightstick)."

 

Heeseung's 'idol skills' do not stop here. When talking about the behind-the-scenes story of 2021 Season's Greetings, he demonstrated the mind of a 'born-to-be idol' by saying, "I filmed with a sense of duty because it's a photo that ENGENEs will keep for a year."

 

The most crucial reason why Heeseung is known to be an all-rounder is that he does not just show his main skills but continuously challenges into new areas. During I-LAND missions, Heeseung selected a 'light and cool' concept that's completely different from his existing image of powerful performance.

 

During the evaluation of the mission, Heeseung ended up showing tears and shared his thoughts, "I wanted to excel at being an idol and show that I can also do this kind of stage well." We think such steps of Heeseung trying to grow up is the way that he becomes a 'masterpiece' after an 'ace.'

 

ENHYPEN and Heeseung are celebrating their 1st debut anniversary. During the past year, they achieved the Initial Chodong sales amount of 810,000 copies and also dominated the Global Authentication Chart, demonstrating powerful growth. The fans are looking forward to the result that they will record in future promotions as the '4th-generation hot icon.' Especially, we should take a closer look at 'the all-rounder Heeseung.' So far, we have looked into Heesung, the all-rounder who has more to look forward to in the future.

 

WHosfan will run a pop-up ad for a week for Heeseung who has placed 1st in this poll. The Whosfan app where the ad is run can be downloaded from the mobile App Store, Play Store, and Galaxy Store.

 

Currently, the poll with the topic, 'Who has clearer voice than snow?' is running for the 'WhosPICK' poll that opens every Tuesday. The fans are also paying a lot of attention to the poll that runs from November 30th to December 6th.
