EVAN's actions during a Weverse live broadcast on June 29 have ignited controversy among fans who feel the former ENHYPEN member deliberately disrespected his former group.

While streaming music during the live, EVAN had ENHYPEN's song 'Bills' play—but quickly skipped it. Fans noticed the moment and took to social media to express their frustration, with many viewing the skip as a deliberate slight against the group that launched his career.

"That group built and created you," one fan wrote, while others called out what they perceived as ungrateful behavior toward ENHYPEN and its members. Some fans pointed out that EVAN specifically included the song on his playlist only to skip it, suggesting intentionality rather than coincidence.

The incident has reopened broader conversations about EVAN's relationship with ENHYPEN following his solo debut. Some supporters have criticized him for what they see as attempts to distance himself from his past with the group, with one fan noting that EVAN previously referred to his solo career as "my first debut"—language that some interpret as downplaying or erasing his time with ENHYPEN.

Others defended the artist, pointing out that a single skipped song shouldn't automatically be read as malicious. However, the timing comes amid ongoing discussions about HYBE's handling of ENHYPEN's brand identity and the company's apparent separation of EVAN's solo career from his group history.

The backlash reflects the complex dynamics that can emerge when group members pursue solo projects, particularly when it comes to acknowledging their former affiliations. For ENHYPEN fans already grappling with changes to the group's identity, the moment felt like another sign of distance between EVAN and his former teammates.

As of now, EVAN has not publicly addressed the incident or fan reactions.
