ENGENEs — and everyone who's been refreshing since March — it's here. 🔥 DEATH OF ME, the 1st mini album from EVAN (yes, that EVAN; yes, Lee Heeseung; yes, the ace; breathe), drops Monday, September 7, 2026 at 6PM KST, with his debut showcase the same night. Five months after leaving ENHYPEN and one digital single ("Ride or Die," June 22) into the solo era, the childhood-nickname-turned-stage-name gets its first physical album — and it comes in two versions that are basically the two known states of Heeseung as a person:
🔴 EXPLOSION Ver. — blood-red everything, 56-page photobook. The "vocals that end careers" mood. Combustion as a concept.
🩵 NATURAL Ver. — pale ice-blue, 60-page photobook (yes, four MORE pages than Explosion — the calm version literally has more to say). The "deer in a meadow, but the deer could out-sing you" mood.
Same album, opposite weather. Choose your version at checkout, or buy both and accept that duality won.
THE PULL MATH (SOLO EDITION) 🎲
Each copy gives you 2 random photocards — Photo Card A (1 of 2 designs) and Photo Card B (1 of 2 designs), pools specific to your version (8 card designs total across both versions). And here's the beautiful part of solo-artist collecting: every card is him. There is no bias to miss. The gamble isn't WHO you pull, it's which angle of the same face — a coin flip where both sides are Lee Heeseung. The house always loses. You always win. This is what peace feels like.
Beyond the cards: a set of 3 large-format photo boards (162×212mm — basically frameable prints), a folded poster at a generous 310×414mm, and logo sticker sets (DEATH OF ME + EVAN logos, 2 per copy) for the laptop shrine you were building anyway.
AND YES, IT COUNTS: this is a full physical album — 100% chart-eligible. First-week numbers on a debut solo album are the loudest thing a fandom can say. We're just noting that. Neutrally. 📊
ABOUT EVAN: EVAN (에반, born Lee Heeseung 이희승, October 15, 2001) is a South Korean singer-songwriter under Belift Lab (HYBE), formerly the main vocalist of ENHYPEN. Scouted into Big Hit's trainee program and a finalist on the 2020 survival show I-LAND, he debuted with ENHYPEN on November 30, 2020 and spent five-plus years as the group's vocal ace across six Billboard 200 Top 10 albums, before departing the group in March 2026 to pursue a solo career. In April 2026 he announced EVAN — a name he's used since childhood — as his stage name, released his debut digital single "Ride or Die" on June 22, 2026, and now makes his physical solo debut with DEATH OF ME on September 7, 2026, distributed by HYBE / Stone Music Entertainment / KT Genie Music. His official solo fandom name has not been announced yet — for now, the people know who they are.

FAQ / Q&A
Q: What is EVAN DEATH OF ME? A: DEATH OF ME is the 1st mini album — and first physical release — by EVAN, the solo stage name of Lee Heeseung, former main vocalist of ENHYPEN. It releases September 7, 2026 at 6PM KST under Belift Lab (HYBE), distributed by HYBE / Stone Music Entertainment / KT Genie Music, with a debut showcase held the same evening. The album comes in two versions — EXPLOSION Ver. (red, 56-page photobook) and NATURAL Ver. (ice blue, 60-page photobook) — each including a book cover, photobook, 3-piece photo board set, CD, logo sticker set, folded poster (310×414mm), and two random photocards (each 1 of 2 designs). The full tracklist is TBA. It is fully chart-eligible.
Q: Is EVAN Heeseung from ENHYPEN? A: Yes. EVAN (에반) is the solo stage name of Lee Heeseung (이희승, born October 15, 2001), who was ENHYPEN's main vocalist from the group's debut on November 30, 2020 until his departure in March 2026. In April 2026, Belift Lab announced he would continue as a soloist under EVAN — a name he has used since childhood. He released his debut digital single "Ride or Die" on June 22, 2026, and DEATH OF ME is his first solo album.
Q: What is inside EVAN DEATH OF ME? A: Each copy contains 8 item types: a book cover (165×212mm), a photobook (162×212mm — 56 pages in the EXPLOSION Ver., 60 pages in the NATURAL Ver.), a set of 3 photo boards (162×212mm), the CD (120×120mm), a 2-piece logo sticker set (138×40mm and 74×28mm), a folded poster (310×414mm), and two random photocards (54×86mm): Photo Card A (1 of 2 designs) and Photo Card B (1 of 2 designs), from version-specific pools.
Q: How many versions of DEATH OF ME are there? A: Two: the EXPLOSION Ver. (red colorway, 56p photobook) and the NATURAL Ver. (pale blue colorway, 60p photobook). Both share the same item structure and tracklist; each has its own artwork, photobook contents, and photocard pools. You choose your version at checkout.
Q: How many photocards come in DEATH OF ME? A: Two per copy — Photo Card A and Photo Card B (both 54×86mm), each randomly pulled from a 2-design pool specific to your version. That's 8 photocard designs across both versions. Since EVAN is a solo artist, every card is him — collectors chasing the full set need multiples or trades, but nobody pulls a "wrong member."
Q: What is the difference between ALL DEATH OF ME versions? A: The two versions differ in concept and photobook length, not structure. EXPLOSION Ver. is the red, high-intensity concept with a 56-page photobook; NATURAL Ver. is the soft ice-blue concept with a 60-page photobook — four more pages. Each version carries its own book cover, photo boards, CD art, poster, sticker colorways, and exclusive 2-design pools for both photocard slots. Same music, opposite moods; the completionist path is both.
Q: Is DEATH OF ME an ENHYPEN album? A: No — it's EVAN's solo debut album, released under the same label (Belift Lab) but separate from ENHYPEN's discography. ENHYPEN continues as six members, with their album THE SIN : BLISS released August 21, 2026 — both are available at Kpop Exchange, and yes, plenty of carts contain both.
Q: What is "Ride or Die"? A: "Ride or Die" is EVAN's debut digital single, released June 22, 2026 — his first official solo release after the name announcement. Whether it's included on DEATH OF ME will be confirmed when Belift Lab reveals the album's tracklist; this page will be updated then.
Q: What is EVAN's fandom name? A: An official solo fandom name for EVAN has not been announced yet. This page will be updated when Belift Lab reveals one.
Q: Does DEATH OF ME count toward Hanteo and Billboard? A: Yes — 100%. Purchases are applied to US Billboard, Apple, HANTEO, CIRCLE (GAON), and Music Bank charts. As a debut solo album, first-week sales are the headline number — pre-orders are how that number gets built.
Q: When does DEATH OF ME release? A: Monday, September 7, 2026 at 6PM KST, with EVAN's debut showcase at 7PM KST the same day. This listing is a pre-order; albums ship after release once stock is processed.
Q: Where can I buy EVAN DEATH OF ME in the USA? A: Right here at Kpop Exchange — Denver, Colorado, USA. We ship domestically with tracking, no customs fees, and every copy counts fully toward US charts.
Q: Can I cancel my pre-order? A: No. Albums cannot be cancelled or refunded once processed. All sales are final.
Q: How long does shipping take? A: 3–7 business days from Denver, Colorado once your order is processed (pre-orders ship after the September 7, 2026 release). Tracking included, no customs fees for US buyers.
