The music video for "Future Perfect (Pass the Mic) [Japanese Ver.]" was filmed during a period when Sunoo was resting due to health-related issues. Because of his absence, BELIFT Lab asks fans for their understanding of Sunoo's absence in the music video and behind-the-scenes footage.

Some people believed the music video could have been postponed to a later date to accommodate Sunoo. People think a one-week delay will not ruin their comeback schedule, and fans would understand that they were trying to adjust Sunoo if the album's release was slightly delayed.
Others were understanding on why Sunoo could not join the dance portions of the music videos. However, people believe Sunoo could have shot for individual scenes so that he is still in the music video in some capacity.

Solo shoots are relatively fast and easy to film and require minimal set-up. Due to how easy it is to film solo scenes in comparison to dance scenes, ENGENEs believe the company could have opted for this route instead of entirely excluding Sunoo.
BELIFT Lab has not responded to the backlash.
ENHYPEN's Japanese studio album "Sadame (定め)" will be released on October 26. The album will contain ten songs, including Japanese vesions of "Polaroid Love," "Blessed-Cursed," and "Future Perfect (Pass the Mic)." Original Japanese songs "Always," "Forgive Me Not," and "Make the Change" will also be included.
