ENHYPEN reunite as seven-piece, wear custom Barong Tagalog in new ad

Heeseung left the group last March 10 to pursue a solo career.

Our Filo ENGENE hearts! K-pop act ENHYPEN has reunited as a full seven-member group as the returning brand ambassadors of a coffee-and-donut chain.

“‘Take me home’ you said… So we did. Enhypen is back home with Dunkin’!” the brand announced on Monday, March 30. The group—Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, Jungwon, Ni-Ki, and former member Heeseung—previously became the face of the brand in September 2024.

And to make their mini comeback even sweeter, the “OT7” apparently honored the Philippines, one of their largest markets, by donning what looked like custom Barong Tagalog.

In the ad, the boys spend kulitan moments with each other—yet looking effortlessly oppa as ever. They do wacky poses in a digicam, with Jake setting up the timer. It then transitions to the members looking at their photos before cutting to Sunoo hanging their portrait on the wall.

OT7 back in style

Filo ENGENE couldn’t contain their emotions in the comments. “Who’s cutting onion,” one said, while another one added, “NAIIYAK AKO.” Many also went gaga over the group’s outfits. The members are known for frequently expressing their deep appreciation for Filipino culture: OPM covers, dance challenges using Pinoy songs, Filipino expressions, and local food.

On March 10, Heeseung announced his departure from the group through a handwritten letter to fans via Weverse. According to a translation sent by their parent company HYBE to Billboard, Heeseung explained that he’s “aware of the concerns and many conversations surrounding” his choice, but pursued it “after thinking deeply about it for a long time.”

In a separate announcement on X, their label BELIFT LAB clarified, “Through in-depth discussions with each of the members about the future they envision and the direction of the team, it became clear that Heeseung has his own distinct musical vision and we have decided to respect it.”

The label also told Billboard that it had “concluded that allowing HEESEUNG to focus fully on his career as a solo artist, rather than pursuing solo activities within the team, would be the most fulfilling approach for both ENHYPEN and HEESEUNG.”

Debuting in 2020, ENHYPEN is known for the songs “Bite Me,” “Drunk-Dazed,” and “FEVER.”
