ENHYPEN Sunoo's Sweet Moment Ruined by Aggressive Staff — ENGENEs Enraged

On May 1, ENHYPEN graced the stage in Chicago for a highly anticipated performance, delighting fans with their talent and charisma.

However, the post-show excitement took a sour turn when a video surfaced depicting a concerning incident involving member Sunoo during a fan meet-and-greet.

Fan Outcry Over Treatment During Meet-and-Greet

As part of the customary send-off, where members have the opportunity to engage with fans up close, Sunoo was seen graciously interacting with ENGENEs, accepting gifts and tokens of appreciation.

However, the mood shifted abruptly when Sunoo attempted to wear a pair of glasses offered by a fan, only to have them forcibly removed by a security guard in what fans described as an "aggressive" manner.

Concerns Over Staff Behavior and Idol Welfare

The video quickly circulated on social media platforms, sparking a wave of outrage among netizens.

NETIZENS' REACTIONS

Here's what ENGENEs are saying:

• 'well that's still their fault they could've told him in the first place that he's no longer allowed to wear one instead of putting him in an awkward position by doing what they did'
• 'I get they're worried but why snatch it from him'
• 'why is he talking to him like that??? his expression towards sunoo?? making me fcking mad'
• 'This manager is too much. This is not the first time he went overboard'
• 'wait I don't understand why were the glasses taken away like genuinely what's the problem'

Many expressed their dismay at the staff's handling of the situation, emphasizing that Sunoo's intention was simply to engage with fans in a lighthearted manner after a long and energetic performance.

Calls for Respectful Communication with Idols

While some speculated that the staff's actions may have been influenced by contractual obligations or brand deals, fans argued that there are more respectful and non-confrontational ways to communicate such concerns to idols.

Amidst growing concerns over idol welfare and treatment by staff, fans pointed to previous instances of questionable behavior, raising alarm about the broader issue of how idols are treated behind the scenes.

In response to the incident, fans rallied behind Sunoo, emphasizing the importance of respecting idols' autonomy and well-being. Calls were made for clearer communication protocols between staff and idols, with an emphasis on mutual respect and understanding.

Sunoo's desire to connect with fans was evident, and many expressed solidarity with the idol, urging for a more considerate approach from staff members in future interactions.
