Heeseung's red hair color at Coachella 2025 causes a stir worldwide

Heeseung of ENHYPEN debuted a bright red hair color on April 5, catching fans’ attention as the group arrived in the U.S. ahead of their Coachella 2025 performance. Even then, fans had predicted that his bold look would make waves at the festival, which has now come true.

At Coachella, the oldest ENHYPEN member stood out, dressed in a half-sleeved denim-leather jacket over a white t-shirt, paired with loose denim pants and accessorized with gold chains and rings.

His red hair had become the focal point and didn't go unnoticed by the ENHYPEN members either. During their Weverse Live after the event, leader Jungwon pointed out just how red Heeseung’s hair really was, prompting Sunghoon to joke that it must have looked like “dripping blood” when he sweats.

Heeseung himself shared that maintaining the intense color had been a challenging task as he even had to limit his shampoo usage to preserve the color.

Other members also caught attention, with fans online tagging Jungwon as “the blonde-haired guy” and Ni-ki as “the silver-haired guy.” ENHYPEN’s performance at Coachella also earned them the title of the most viewed K-pop act of all time on the prestigious Sahara Stage.


To top it all off, during the same Weverse Live, the group officially announced their comeback for June 5, 2025. With such a commanding stage and a thrilling announcement, April 12 became an iconic and proud day for ENGENEs around the world.
