ENHYPEN, the popular K-pop group, is facing backlash from their dedicated fanbase, ENGENEs, over the demanding schedules imposed by their management company, BELIFT LAB. Fans are voicing their concerns on social media, demanding that the group be given a much-needed break to prioritize their health and well-being.
The uproar began after reports surfaced detailing ENHYPEN’s grueling schedule, which includes back-to-back promotions, performances, and fansign events. Many fans argue that the relentless pace is taking a toll on the members, who are often seen exhausted during public appearances. This concern heightened when ENHYPEN member Jay was recently absent from scheduled activities due to health issues, leading fans to question the company’s commitment to the idols’ welfare.
Social media platforms have become a battleground for ENGENEs, who are using hashtags like #ENHYPENDeservesABreak to rally support. They argue that while hard work is essential in the entertainment industry, it should not come at the expense of the artists’ health. Fans have shared their frustrations, stating that the group’s well-being should be prioritized over profits and promotions. Some even highlighted instances where fans felt mistreated during recent events, further fueling the fire against BELIFT LAB’s management practices.
The situation has sparked discussions about the broader issue of idol health in the K-pop industry, where intense schedules are the norm. Many fans are calling for a change in how entertainment companies manage their artists, advocating for more humane working conditions. As the pressure mounts, it remains to be seen how BELIFT LAB will respond to the growing demands from ENGENEs for a more balanced approach to ENHYPEN’s activities.
