on the anniversary of the I-LAND finale, i’m reminded of the video of ni-ki’s family’s reaction when he was announced as part of the ENHYPEN lineup... ni-ki was his parents' fourteen-year-old baby as well as both a younger and older brother facing so much on his own, isolated in a survival how in a country where he was barely learning the language. i imagine the whirlwind of emotions and think about ni-ki’s bravery in stepping forward to chase his dreams, even when it was terrifying, as well as his family’s immense support in letting him pursue them, despite everything they must have felt seeing him alone and vulnerable
the fact that ni-ki is part of enhypen today is due to his courage, but also to the love of his family, who always allowed him to grow while knowing that his dreams could always become reality🥹❤️🩹
always and forever grateful that jay and ni-ki finally debuted together because remember when because remember when ni-ki jumped so happily and jay was right there waiting to hug him 😭 oh my heart
Since ppl are acting dense in the qrts,
He was part of the group for the first five-ish years.
He was NOT a member during their sixth year.
He didn't reach the sixth anniversary as a member.
No one's erasing history, we're simply celebrating the members who ACTUALLY reached
Going solo isn’t the problem, the problem is him staying silent, not saying he himself made that decision and letting all those ot7 harass Enha and all the other kpop groups like u can ask which group wasn’t harassed coz of that.That’s why some of us decided to just support enha
Today isn't just a celebration of the day our fated boys became one. It’s a celebration of everything that came after. The memories we made, the moments that made us smile and cry, the dreams they continue to chase, and the countless moments still waiting for ENHYPEN & ENGENEs in the future.
Happy I-LAND formation anniversary to every ENGENE who celebrates! 🥹🧡

Anniversaries are celebrated with those that choose to stay and celebrate it.
Even in real world scenarios, not kpop related, if a co-founder of a company leaves, the company will continue to celebrate the formation anniversary without that person.
You can acknowledge someone’s former contributions without involving that person in every anniversary celebration. Because the fact of the matter is that even if you want to drag it up every year, what does it matter if the person you’re bringing up isn’t even celebrating it?
Anyways, I choose to celebrate with the Enhypen members who are still celebrating. After all, they are the ones performing under the banner of Enhypen, whom I-land was created for.
Thank you for bringing light to so many people and for choosing to be an idol🥹❤️
Happy 6th formation anniversary to trainee Jay who never gave up. Fall 7 times, stand up 8. I’m always on your side ^^
they were 7 once but they're 6 NOW. that's the reality of en- today & him being part of their history doesn't mean the current 6 or us engenes are morally obligated to include him in every anniv esp when the anniv is being celebrated by en- as they exist now.
Happy 6th formation anniversary, JUNGWON, JAY, JAKE, SUNGHOON, SUNOO, and NI-KI! 🤍
6 years ago, six young boys were chosen to walk the same path. None of us could have known then how far that journey would take you, or how much you would come to mean to so many people. But looking at ENHYPEN today, we cannot help but feel that the day you were brought together was also the day our lives became a little more meaningful.
Without the six of you, the name ENHYPEN would not hold the meaning it does today. It’s because of the connection you have built with us and the love you have shared throughout these years that we are here, celebrating this journey with you.
While preparing this message, we found ourselves looking back at your old videos from I-LAND. We watched the younger versions of you chase dreams that must have felt so distant at times. We saw your hopes, your fears, your hard work, and the moments when you had to keep going despite not knowing what the future held. And now, we get to see so many of those dreams become your reality.
We can’t fully express how grateful we are to have witnessed you grow, not only as artists, but as people. We have watched you take steps forward, face challenges, and continue reaching for something bigger. To see the things you once wished for slowly unfold before your eyes is a privilege we will always treasure.
More than anything, thank you for being strong, especially during the moments when everything felt messy, uncertain, and almost unbearable. We know that your journey has not always been easy, and although we may never understand every struggle you have faced, we hope you know how your strength has touched us.
There were moments when the world felt too loud, when everything seemed overwhelming, and when finding peace felt difficult. But, somehow, you became a place of comfort for us. In the middle of all the chaos, you reminded us that there could still be something gentle to hold on to.
Thank you for choosing this path. Thank you for continuing to show up, even when things were difficult. Thank you for inspiring us to dream bigger and reminding us that we do not need the whole world to believe in us. Sometimes, all we need are people who choose to stay, even through the uncertain and difficult moments.
Over the years, you have taught us the value of hard work, staying true to ourselves, and honoring the promises we make. You have shown us that growth does not always happen loudly, and that the most beautiful things can be built through patience, sincerity, and perseverance.
Thank you for existing as ENHYPEN. Thank you for allowing us to witness your brightest moments and for letting us share in the happiness of every milestone you reach. As you continue to live through the most beautiful chapters of your lives, we hope you know that we are grateful to be part of your story too.
Six years ago, you were chosen to begin this journey together. Today, we celebrate not only the day ENHYPEN was formed, but also everything you have overcome, everything you have achieved, and everything that is still waiting for you.
We hope that when the road ahead becomes uncertain, you will remember how many people are grateful that you chose to walk it. We hope you will always find reasons to keep dreaming, even on the days when those dreams feel far away. And we hope that the love you have given us returns to you in ways that make even your hardest days a little lighter.
May the years ahead bring you more dreams fulfilled, more beautiful memories, and more moments where you can look back and say, “We made it this far.”
Happy 6th Formation Anniversary, our dearest ENHYPEN! We are so proud of you. We love you, always!
