Jay mentioned he's undergone treatments for his knee, but I'm still concerned about them using their knees in the choreography. We appreciate your dedication and passion, Jay, but we also hope you'll take it easy and won’t push yourself too hard. 🥹 pic.twitter.com/GUffFnSetP

As fans continue to worry about Jay's recovery, some are even calling on Enhypen's company, Belift Lab, to change the choreography.
One concerned fan stated, "Idols' health should come first. A performance isn't worth risking an injury."
Another fan echoed this sentiment, adding, "It's clear that this choreography is too harsh on Jay's knees. Belift Lab should consider his health and make the necessary adjustments."
The response from Belift Lab regarding these concerns remains to be seen. Meanwhile, fans hope that the company will prioritize Jay's health and take the necessary steps to ensure that the group can continue to perform safely.
