ENHYPEN's Jungwon addresses the group's six-member lineup and the ongoing fan disputes surrounding it during his recent live:
"Because we hadn't addressed it directly until now, many people felt we never properly acknowledged it, leading some to deny the current ENHYPEN, talking about the number of the members. (..) ENHYPEN is six members now.
(..) I understand it, but it's not good to see fans fighting over things like this. Honestly, it doesn't look good, and it ends up disrupting the performances as well.
No one wants to fight over this, not the company, not the fans, and not us the members."
🗣️ : they looked happy with our OT7 fanchant though
also 🐈: I hope it doesn't happen going forward. I'm serious it stresses us out a lot during performances too. I really hope you stop that going forward
PLSS GET A GRIP Y’ALL!! ENHYPEN IS 6!!
정원이 오늘 라이브 킨 이유 :
🐈 우리의 예전 모습을 사랑해주시고 좋아해주시는 분들이 많은 것 같아요 아직도 지금의 엔하이픈을 부정하시거나 그런 분들이 많은 것 같은데 저희가 확실하게 얘기 안했으니까.. 어떤 분들은 우리가 제대로 얘기 안했다면서 멤버 수를 얘기하시더라구요 근데 전에 엔하이픈 사랑하신 분들 마음도 이해되지만 이제 엔하이픈은 6명입니다 여러분.. 공연에서 응원법도 그렇고 이해는 됩니다 우리가 확실하게 얘기 안했으니까 그런데 그런 것 때문에 엔진들이 싸우는게.. 보기가 좋진 않네요 솔직히 공연에도 방해가 되고요 뭐.. 오늘 정확히 얘기를 했으니까 앞으로 진짜 엔하이픈을 좋아하시는 응원하시는 분들이라면 본인들이 어떻게 행동하실지 아실 것 같아요 이건 확실히 얘기할게요 앞으로 '엔하이픈 is 7이다' 뭐 이런 얘기는 우리끼리 싸우라는거죠 엔진끼리 그거는 아무도 원치 않잖아요 그거는 저희도 회사도 엔진도 원하지 않으니까.. 앞으로 그런 분쟁을 조장하는 분들은 팬이 아닌걸로 생각하려구요 사실 라이브 그 얘기하려고 온거에요 멤버 대표해서 제가 온거고 나머지 5명도 같은 생각입니다 앞으로 안그랬으면 좋겠어요 진심입니다 공연에도 너무 신경쓰이고.. 이제 그런걸 그만 하셨으면 좋겠어요
JUNGWON I LOVE YOU AND IM PROUD OF YOU THANK YOU FOR BEING THE BEST LEADER AND IM SO SORRY
🐈Because we haven't spoken about it definitively until now, some people were saying things like we haven't properly addressed it, and they've been talking a lot about the number of members. Of course, while I can understand the hearts of those who loved ENHYPEN back then, now, yes, ENHYPEN is six members, everyone. Yes. ENHYPEN is six members.
Things like what you say at the concerts or the fan chants, I do understand that as well, because we haven't spoken about it clearly until now. I understand it, but seeing Engines fighting each other because of things like that doesn't look good. To be honest, it also disrupts the performances a lot. Yes, really, honestly.
Since I've spoken about it clearly today, I think those who truly like ENHYPEN and support us will know how to act moving forward. Yes.
Ah, I'll just say this completely clearly. Because if I speak vaguely again, it might not work. From now on, saying things like 'ENHYPEN is 7' is basically telling Engenes to fight among themselves. Yes. Fighting among our fans nobody wants that. The company doesn't want it, Engenes obviously don't want it, and above all, the six of us do not want it.
So in the future, I am going to consider those who stir up or promote such disputes as not being fans. For me, too... Actually, I turned on this live specifically because of this, to talk about this. I came here to speak on behalf of the members. Yes, the other five members share the exact same thought.
So I hope you won't do that from now on. I really mean it. Yes."
#JUNGWON’s message during his live:
Everyone, there’s something I really feel I need to say, and honestly, this is the reason I started this live. I don’t think this is something we can just ignore and move past, especially since Weverse translations are available now.
I know there are a lot of people who really loved our past, and I understand that. There are many people who still love how we used to be. But there also seem to be many people who continue to deny the current ENHYPEN or refuse to accept who we are now.
Since we hadn’t clearly addressed this before, some people have been saying that we never gave a proper statement, and they’ve continued bringing up the number of members.
Of course, I understand the feelings of those who loved ENHYPEN before. But now… ENHYPEN is six members, everyone. ENHYPEN is six members.
I understand why some people still do things like certain fan chants at concerts because we hadn’t clearly said anything until now. I understand that. But it’s really not nice to see ENGENEs fighting among themselves because of this.
To be completely honest, it also disrupts our performances. It really does.
Now that I’ve clearly said this today, I think anyone who truly likes ENHYPEN and supports us will know how they should act going forward.
I’m going to be very clear because I don’t want to speak vaguely anymore. When people keep saying things like ‘ENHYPEN is seven,’ all it does is cause fights within our fandom.
No one wants ENGENEs to fight each other. The company doesn’t want that. ENGENEs don’t want that. And most importantly, the six of us don’t want that.
So from now on, I personally won’t consider people who continue to stir up these kinds of conflicts to be fans.
Honestly, this is exactly why I started this live.
I came here representing the members. I talked with them, and I’m speaking on behalf of all of us. The other five members feel the same way.
So I sincerely hope this stops.
Like I said earlier, it’s honestly very distracting during concerts. People spend a lot of money and time to come see us. Concerts are expensive, and it’s unfair to those fans as well.
So… I really hope everyone stops doing this.
Now that the translations are available, I think everyone understands what I’m saying.
And just to be clear, I’m not saying that our concerts in Brazil and Peru were bad. They were amazing. They were really great performances.
I’m also looking forward to our upcoming concert in Mexico.
I’ve made our position very clear. I’m saying this as a representative of ENHYPEN. The other members all feel the same way.
Please stop, and I hope everyone takes some time to think about this seriously.
At the end of the day, we’re people who work and perform for ENGENEs, and honestly… seeing all of this wasn’t pleasant for us.

AND FYI NO ONE IS FORCING HIM TO SAY THIS
😺 if i say this, there’s someone who’s going to say like "i bet someone made him say that" right?
😺 this is completely my own thought, everyone. if anyone starts saying that, between us and our fans, you already know what to believe.
[#오늘의ENHYPEN] ENGENE, you made my day so incredibly special. I'll never forget the insane energy and the sound of your voices cheering for us! 🥰
Obrigado Amo todos vocês 🫶 #260704 @ BLOOD SAGA IN SÃO PAULO
