@dumplingnu actually this entire situation inspired (what will hopefully be) my sociology graduate thesis on parasocial relationships and the concept of ownership within k-pop fandoms bc it’s crazy how a huge chunk of the fandom moves
completely on yang jungwons side, truly on yang jungwons side, on yang jungwons side for a lifetime, on yang jungwons side even in the grave, on yang jungwons side forever, in yang jungwons side throughout life and death
as someone going to the san diego show, i’ve always known i was gonna chant the Ot6 fan chant, not bc i don’t respect everything heeseung contributed but out of respect for the boys who are still up on that stage. i hope everyone else does the same after what jungwon said.
i wish enhypen had a fandom that respected and listened to them. jungwon said it loud and clear that Enhypen is 6! yet i know some of y’all are gonna say he was forced to say it. accept the 6 that stayed and move forward, if you can’t respect it then leave.
what this fandom has put these six through for the past four months has been cruel. i hope people can finally leave the six of them in peace. this will be remembered forever. everyone inside and outside the fandom saw what you ot7 boycotters put these six through
#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.

speaking out like this must have took a lot of courage but jungwon did it anyway. he spoke with so much clarity there can be no doubt about what he meant. stop denying the current enhypen and respect them.
HES SO BRAVE 🥹🥹 MY LEADER #JUNGWON
😺 from now on, for those who truly love ENHYPEN and for those who support us, I think you will already know how you should act
😺 enhypen has 6 members, it's the 6 of us.
