In 2017, Heeseung joined Big Hit Entertainment as a trainee after being scouted from an entrance exam.[2] He competed in the survival reality competition show I-Land in 2020, finishing in fifth place and earning a spot in the debut lineup of Enhypen.[3] On November 30, 2020, he debuted as a member of Enhypen with the release of their first extended play (EP) Border: Day One.[4]

On November 28, 2022, the song "Zero Moment," performed by Heeseung and bandmates Jay and Jake, was released as a part of the soundtrack for the South Korean drama Summer Strike.[5]

2026–present: Departure from Enhypen and planned solo debut

On January 16, 2026, Enhypen released their seventh extended play The Sin: Vanish, on which Heeseung co-wrote the track "Sleep Tight"[8]. On March 10, Belift Lab announced that Heeseung would be leaving Enhypen to pursue a solo career while remaining with the label.[9][10] The sudden nature of his departure surprised fans, who launched a Change.org petition urging the label to allow him to release a solo album while continuing to be a member of the group.[11] The label reaffirmed on March 15 that he would not be returning to the group.[12] On April 8, Belift announced that Heeseung would change his stage name to "Evan", a name he has used since childhood.
