Full translation of #NI_KI’s message on his live last July 30:
To me, concerts exist so that everyone can be happy and have a great time together. I want to see everyone. I want to take care of everyone in the venue. I want to make sure even the ENGENEs in the far corners, who might not be able to see us very well, feel included. I want to look after every single ENGENE.
But sometimes… well, not even sometimes. Wherever we go, there are always a few people who really want us to notice only them.
And they don’t jump. They don’t really enjoy the concert. It doesn’t feel like they’re having fun. Honestly, that kind of lowers the energy a little. You know what I mean?
My heart is in wanting everyone to have fun together and wanting to take care of everyone equally. So when there are people who seem more focused on getting noticed, I can’t help but feel a little disappointed.
There are so many ENGENEs who do an amazing job lifting the atmosphere and making the concert even more enjoyable. But when situations like that happen, it sometimes feels like they take away from the concert experience a little. After all, the whole point is for all of us to be happy together, right?
So if you’ve ever had those thoughts, I understand. I really do. It’s natural for people to want to be noticed. I get that. But all you have to do is enjoy yourself.
Our responsibility is to put on the best performance we can. It’s our job to fill those two hours with energy, dance our hardest, sing our best, and create an unforgettable show. That’s the responsibility we carry.
What feels a little unfortunate is when other ENGENEs end up feeling self-conscious because of other people’s actions. Everyone is already having such a great time, so I just think it would be nice if we could all enjoy it together. You know what I mean, right?
I really do understand. But if you think about it from our perspective, from the perspective of the people on stage…
Like I said, filming is totally fine. I have no problem with that at all.
What we want to see is everyone dancing, jumping, waving their heads, cheering, and enjoying themselves. We want to see ENGENEs being happy. That’s what makes us happy. We don’t want to see people just standing there. Right? That’s how it is.
Other than those few cases, though, everyone has looked so genuinely happy, and I love seeing that. ENGENEs’ happiness is always our top priority.
Especially throughout this South American and North American tour, ENGENEs have looked so happy. Seeing that has made me so happy too. It really warms my heart.
We’ve had everyone come to see us, from really little kids to fans of all ages. I’m so grateful for that.
And actually, we’ve been on tour for over three years now. But being able to go on a world tour like this isn’t something that’s common, or rather, something that should ever be taken for granted, right? So I’m really very grateful for it.
No matter how difficult things get, the fact that we’ve been able to continue a world tour for over three years now is something I’m really thankful for. Oakland was also a place we last visited during FATE PLUS. So when I think about that, it means we’re coming back after two and a half years.
And knowing that you waited for us for those two and a half years… you probably could only see us through screens during that time. Thinking about that actually made me feel really sorry. If it were up to me, I’d want to stay in the same space with you all and keep you in my eyes for as long as possible. But since that’s realistically impossible, I’m approaching these concerts with the mindset that we should cherish and remember these moments well while we’re here.
So, ENGENEs, thank you so so much. I really love you so much.
Let’s not forget that Riki is still young . He’s been facing hate since the start of his career, we all knew how much he cares about his fans, he would never do anything to intentionally hurt them

ENHYPEN has faced so many obstacles this year. The biggest prayer is that Enhypen will be even more successful in the future🤍.
It feels like there hasn't even been time to catch your breath obstacle have come one after another, making a sense of relief hard to come by. Yet, you persevered and strove to give your best amidst difficult circumstances. I hope you achieve even greater success in the future. ENGENE will always protect and support you endlessly.

NI-KI genuinely has a lot of admirable charms, but one that I deeply respect is his mindset & personality.
whenever I read his interviews or watch his lives, I find myself appreciating the way he thinks& views things, there's a level of maturity beyond his age. he's just soo thoughtful& sincere, and u can tell he genuinely put a lot of thoughts behind each of his words & actions.
Maybe that's why it hurts even more to see someone as genuine and transparent getting misunderstood over& over again for years. I never understood why ppl are so quick to judge him & make assumptions about him and never truly care to understand him. or see him for who he truly is.
and iykyk there were times where he became much more reserved. It took him time to feel comfortable again and open up & feel free to share his thoughts freely. and witness him regaining his confident& smile again has been really everything, and I just hope he never loses that confidence or the his happiness. cz he deserves sm better.
I just hope he will always feels safe enough to speak his heart out, and always keep shining 🫳🐣
WITH LOVE TO NI-KI
