jungwon apologized and said that he threw away the tshirt as soon as he learnt the meaning behind it he even checked the time in kazakhstan before opening the live
🐈 First of all, I want to apologize. I threw that t-shirt away right away. Even though I didn't know, if there were people who felt uncomfortable because of it, it is still my fault, so I am very sorry. I disposed of the shirt immediately. I actually wanted to come on and apologize first thing this morning before the concert, but when I checked the time in Kazakhstan, it was early in the morning there. So even though it is still morning now around 8:00 or 9:00 AM as far as I know I thought it would be better to do a live broadcast at a time when more of you would actually be able to watch it, which is why I started this live as soon as I arrived. I am truly sorry, and I will deeply reflect on this.
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.
🗣️ : 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!!
#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.

the rapid blinking to stop the tears when he says ‘because we started this together’
i can’t fathom how hard the past few months has been for the members and esp for jungwon, who feels the most pressure and responsibility as the leader. sometimes we forget he’s the 2nd youngest
