"People bought tickets, let them do what they want" is a HORRIFIC and DANGEROUS thing to say. This is 100% sasaeng mentality.
You have bought a ticket to a concert, to see an artist perform - but you still owe them basic respect and shouldn't go out of your way to disrespect them or humiliate them.
The 6 members of ENHYPEN have asked for the new fanchant themselves and have expressed HAPPINESS & EXCITEMENT multiple times upon hearing it.
Anyone that goes to a concert and does the old fanchant is NOT doing this for ENHYPEN - they're doing this as a form of PROTEST IN THEIR FACES. It's the equivalent of booing them. It's cruel and it's not ok.
There is no "coercing people to do ot6 fanchant" - this is the fanchant that ENHYPEN want.
Anything else is disrespectful and evil.
And while so many of you are treating the fanchant like it‘s a way to give “credit” (which isn’t the purpose of a fanchant AT ALL)
I hope the majority remember what ENHA themselves shared in the Blood Saga behinds. They talked about how intense the preparation for this tour was—from having to rearrange songs, relearn formations and rework choreography.
These 6 poured their blood, sweat, and tears into making sure ENGENEs would have an amazing experience despite everything that has happened these past few months.
Put fanwars, engagement, and number games aside. When you walk into that venue and see those 6 giving everything they have on stage, I hope it reminds you that the least we can do is respect and support the current lineup in front of us.
Tonight in Brazil will be a historic night for both ENHYPEN and ENGENES.
For ENHYPEN, this is their very first time performing in Brazil and, at the same time, their 100th show as artists. For Brazilian ENGENES, this is the moment many have waited years for, finally seeing ENHYPEN in their own country after supporting them through screens, livestreams, and countless nights spent hoping this day would eventually come.
Special moments coinciding like this do not happen often. Tonight in Brazil will become part of ENHYPEN’s history and part of Brazilian ENGENES’ history as well. Years from now, everyone will still look back on this show as ENHYPEN’s first concert in Brazil and their 100th show. What happens tonight will remain a memory not only for those attending, but for the members themselves.
Some may ask why a fanbase from Asia is speaking about this. The answer is that we have witnessed ENHYPEN’s journey from MANIFESTO, FATE, and WALK THE LINE. We have seen firsthand how much they cherish hearing ENGENES sing their songs loudly back to them, but we have also seen how important fanchants are to them.
Fanchants have always been an integral part of K-pop culture. For ENHYPEN, the members themselves create the fanchants, arranging them exactly how they want to hear ENGENEs respond during performances. More than chants shouted into a crowd, they are a reflection of the connection between ENHYPEN and ENGENE.
Tonight, ENGENES in Brazil will undoubtedly be loud, passionate, and unforgettable. We have no doubts about that. But beyond volume, what matters is the message we choose to send back to ENHYPEN.
Tonight is bigger than personal preference. Bigger than what any one person wants to do. Some moments stop being about ourselves and become about the people standing on stage, hoping to feel the same love they have spent years giving back.
ENHYPEN crossed continents to stand on tonight’s stage in Brazil. Through every setback, they continued to move forward, continued to show up for ENGENEs, and continued to give their all when stepping back would have been easier.
Tonight marks the global start of the BLOOD SAGA tour. Whether we like it or not, what happens tonight will kind of set the tone for the rest of the tour. The energy, the atmosphere, and the memories created in São Paulo will become part of how this new chapter begins for both ENHYPEN and ENGENEs around the world.
A milestone they can never experience for the first time again, and once tonight passes, there will never be another chance to redo it.
There are many things ENGENEs can disagree on, but respect for JUNGWON, JAY, JAKE, SUNGHOON, SUNOO, and NI-KI should never be one of them. That should never be up for debate.
At the end of the day, the question ENGENEs attending BLOOD SAGA should ask themselves is, “When ENHYPEN leaves our country and remembers this night years from now, what kind of memory do we want them to carry with them?”
A memory overshadowed by division and disrespect, or a memory of thousands of ENGENEs standing together to give them a legendary show and fanchants that reflect the love, appreciation, and respect they have always deserved?
We really hope attendees at tonight’s São Paulo show choose to give ENHYPEN the updated fanchant. Not because they have to, but because on a night as meaningful as this, choosing respect can become the loudest message of all.
We are very happy for ENHYPEN to finally set foot and perform in Brazil, and even happier for Brazilian ENGENEs who will witness both ENHYPEN’s first concert in the country and their 100th show as artists.
We trust ENGENEs to give ENHYPEN the crowd they deserve, a crowd that sings with them, celebrates with them, respects them, and helps make one of the most important nights of their career a memory worth keeping forever.
Thank you, ENGENEs, and we hope everyone, including ENHYPEN, enjoys tonight’s show in São Paulo! 🤍
ENGENEs do Brasil, vamos lá! 🇧🇷
