Today is the day we cement Jungwon in the hall of fame for being one of the bravest and best leaders in the entire history of kpop. It takes a real man to set the record straight and not shy away from difficult topic even though it is hard and could potentially bring him hate. My respect for him grew a hundred folds.
i will always admire and love the way enhypen stands up for themselves. now, please stop the disrespect and honor the six members who chose to stay and continue this journey with us.
#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.

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.
JUNGWON I LOVE YOU AND IM PROUD OF YOU THANK YOU FOR BEING THE BEST LEADER AND IM SO SORRY
🐈Because we haven't spoken about it definitively until now, some people were saying things like we haven't properly addressed it, and they've been talking a lot about the number of members. Of course, while I can understand the hearts of those who loved ENHYPEN back then, now, yes, ENHYPEN is six members, everyone. Yes. ENHYPEN is six members.
Things like what you say at the concerts or the fan chants, I do understand that as well, because we haven't spoken about it clearly until now. I understand it, but seeing Engines fighting each other because of things like that doesn't look good. To be honest, it also disrupts the performances a lot. Yes, really, honestly.
Since I've spoken about it clearly today, I think those who truly like ENHYPEN and support us will know how to act moving forward. Yes.
Ah, I'll just say this completely clearly. Because if I speak vaguely again, it might not work. From now on, saying things like 'ENHYPEN is 7' is basically telling Engenes to fight among themselves. Yes. Fighting among our fans nobody wants that. The company doesn't want it, Engenes obviously don't want it, and above all, the six of us do not want it.
So in the future, I am going to consider those who stir up or promote such disputes as not being fans. For me, too... Actually, I turned on this live specifically because of this, to talk about this. I came here to speak on behalf of the members. Yes, the other five members share the exact same thought.
So I hope you won't do that from now on. I really mean it. Yes."
TRANSITION FROM TURNING OF DICE TO ENHYPEN DOMINO EFFECT IS INSANEEE 😭😭 (domino effect is showing that theyre an interconnected system, moving together in a chain)
NEW DIMENSION BEYOND HYPHEN😭😭😭😭😭😭 YES ITS AS WE SAID THEY ARE IN NEW DIMENSION NO NEED FOR ANYTHING CONNECTED FOREVER FOR ETERNITY ENHYPEN YOU ARE EVERYTHINGGGGG
sunoo surviving i-land will always get me because you could literally see how limited he was at times or how often other trainees underestimated him, yet he still fought his way through every single round. The pd’s were right when they said he is the destined main character.
sunoo debuted as producers' choice but before he was given that title, he was:
- #1 in FIRST global voting (grounders) with 2,648,265 votes.
- #1 in FIRST global voting (ilanders & grounders) with 1,087, 503 votes.
- #1 in SECOND global voting with 1,705,287 votes.
- #5 from Producers' votes during their BTS Test with 77 votes.
- #1 from MIDPOINT Global Voting
- SEVENTEEN's Choice
- Chamber 5 Leader
- #3 from Producers' votes during their Concept Test with 86 votes.
In whole duration of ILAND, there were only 5 global votings (includes the debut line up) and among those 4 over 5 global votings, Sunoo was the #1. Basically, the only members who received #1 in global votes was him (4 times) and Jungwon (debut line up).
- 5th grounder who was chosen by the producers to move from ground to iland (performance based).
- he placed 5th from their Fire Performance with a score of 71.
- he was chosen to be the ground's vocal representative along with Daniel.
In whole duration of ILAND as well, he never placed below Top 6 (for both global votings and producers' choice) except to the final global votings which he placed #8. As what as I have heard, they were prioritizing other ilander because Sunoo already showcases his popularity with him being consistent #1 so they thought he was already safe.
He was doing well for both global votes and producers' choice, so I honestly don't have any idea where your negative remarks came from? Despite being trained for only 10 months, he received a lot of praises from both producers and global audience and was competing with trainees who have more background and experience than him. Just because he came from the ground (which was the ilanders' choice btw and not from producers), you guys have the audacity to talk about him being the member of ENHYPEN.
They are about to celebrate their 6th anniversary, yet you still can't move on that he is part of the group. Belittling him is so funny because ever since episode 1 he showcases his talents. And fun fact, he was never criticized by the producers for his talents. He was praise instead.
But anyway, since you guys brought up ILAND and start belittling sunoo, let me bring back this too. Because it is obvious you guys did not watch iland from the very start until the very end. Now open this thread and let me educate you!

WHAT REALLY HAPPENED ON MARCH 10 AND WHY MARCH 31 MATTERS.
on March 10, the board had already approved the decision hours before the public announcement. this had been planned for months, meaning what we saw was only the final result, not a sudden action
this wasn’t random, but a strategic move led by executives like Isaac Lee and Kevin Mayer, who specialize in corporate restructuring. the goal was to test how much they could reshape key group structures without affecting stock value essentially measuring fan and market resistance.
march 31 is the real turning point, as shareholders will vote to officially approve this new direction. company documents already indicate a shift in strategy: reducing focus on the West and redirecting resources to Japan, with partnerships involving artists like YOASOBI and imase.
another critical point is the proposed removal of cumulative voting rights, which would limit shareholder opposition and strengthen board control.
all of this was done quietly, leaving little room for reaction, and it doesn’t affect just one group, multiple artists are involved.
march 31 could define the company’s future and potentially impact the entire industry.
