EVAN’s ‘Twilight’ Gets a New Spotlight in HYBE Film

EVAN Transitions to Solo Career with 'DEATH OF ME'

EVAN, formerly known as Heeseung of ENHYPEN, has opened a new chapter as a solo artist with his first mini album, DEATH OF ME. Released on September 7, 2026, the eight-track project is built around a clear creative premise: taking hold of tangled emotions and moving forward. BELIFT LAB says EVAN led the album's production and creative process, making the record an important introduction to the artist's own direction.

The album's tracklist is Not Enough, Noise, Ride or Die, Death of Me, Twilight, Immature, Overflow and Going Home. Twilight is the fifth track. On October 8, HYBE LABELS officially uploaded an EVAN performance film for the song, giving the album a new point of entry after its release. The upload is an official company video, not a fan-made performance or an unofficial re-edit.

That distinction matters because a performance film extends a released song without replacing the main album campaign. It invites viewers to return to a specific track and hear it in the wider context of the record. In EVAN's case, the film also places Twilight in the continuing sequence of official content listed by BELIFT LAB, alongside the album's music video, performance video and other release materials.

A Record Built Around an Artist's Own Direction

BELIFT LAB presents DEATH OF ME as a project about facing complicated feelings rather than hiding them. The company describes EVAN as taking the lead across the album's production and creative process, a role that gives the release a different emphasis from a project presented only as a vocal showcase. The verified description does not require a claim that he worked alone; it does establish that his own story and decisions are central to the album's identity.

The album's range is visible in the official descriptions of its tracks. The title song is described as weighty pop R&B, while Not Enough is pop, Noise is pop R&B, Ride or Die is alternative rock, Immature is also alternative rock, Overflow is mellow indie pop and Going Home is dream pop. Twilight is identified specifically as UK garage-based pop. These descriptions show a project organized around several styles, while the album's stated emotional direction gives those styles a common frame.

For listeners approaching EVAN through the new performance film, Twilight can therefore work as both a standalone introduction and a guide to the larger record. BELIFT LAB describes the song as expressing the desire to remain in an enchanting moment. That idea gives the track a defined position within the album without requiring the performance film to carry the entire story of the release.

Why the 'Twilight' Film Matters After the Album Release

The timing of the HYBE LABELS upload is notable. The album arrived on September 7, while the official film for Twilight followed on October 8. That schedule creates a second window for attention around a song that is not the title track. It also gives fans a focused piece of official video content after the initial album launch and invites them to revisit a particular part of the tracklist.

The film should be understood as a new presentation of an existing album track, not as evidence of a new single or a separate release. The source metadata identifies it as a performance film, and BELIFT LAB lists it among the album's official content. No chart result, streaming total or audience figure is attached to the YouTube source, so the significance of the upload is best measured through its role in the album's content strategy rather than through an unverified performance claim.

That approach also keeps the article's focus on what viewers can confirm. HYBE LABELS is the official channel named in the source, and the video is directly connected to EVAN's official album campaign. Readers can watch the embedded YouTube film while using the album tracklist and the company's descriptions as a map for understanding where Twilight fits.

From Group Recognition to a Solo Story

EVAN's transition comes after his time as Heeseung of ENHYPEN, giving the solo project an obvious career context. The Korea Times reported that the move followed a long period of uncertainty about the music he wanted to make. The same report said EVAN apologized to fans affected by the change and described his aim of moving forward through music.

The report also covered a personal part of the album's background: EVAN discussed treatment for malignant lymphoma during childhood. That disclosure belongs to the verified context around DEATH OF ME, but it should not be turned into a claim about every song or every scene in the performance film. The available evidence supports a narrower conclusion: the artist has presented the album as an honest account of his inner life, and the album's official description connects that honesty with hope and forward movement.

The public scale of the launch was also established through official scheduling. EVAN's Weverse notice announced a September 7 debut showcase at Kyung Hee University's Grand Peace Palace, with 3,000 in-person attendees selected by lottery. The event was also scheduled to stream through EVAN Weverse and HYBE LABELS YouTube. The arrangement connected a physical debut event with the same official digital ecosystem that later hosted the Twilight performance film.

What Comes Next for 'DEATH OF ME'

The Korea Times reported that EVAN is scheduled to perform in Macao and Bangkok, while also noting his Global-K Artist award. Those activities place the album in a continuing performance cycle rather than treating the September release as a single finished moment. The Twilight film fits that cycle by keeping one track visible while EVAN's solo identity continues to develop.

It is too early to attach unverified chart predictions or claim a particular audience reaction to the video. What can be said is more concrete: EVAN has a released eight-track album, a clearly described creative role, a defined musical profile for Twilight, and an official performance film that extends the project's presentation. Those elements give listeners several ways into the record, whether they first encounter the song through HYBE LABELS or begin with the album itself.

For now, the October 8 upload functions as a focused follow-up to EVAN's solo debut. It highlights Twilight without separating it from the emotional and creative framework of DEATH OF ME. As the singer moves into the next stage of his scheduled activities, the film offers a concise reminder of the album's central proposition: a new solo path shaped by personal direction, varied musical choices and a willingness to keep moving forward.
