A group of dedicated fans, driven by their love for ENHYPEN, recently organized a heartfelt gesture by sending trucks adorned with various messages to the HYBE building, where BELIFT LAB, ENHYPEN's management company, is located.

Chief among these concerns is the health of member Jungwon.
Fans voiced worries about his health and criticized the styling choices made for him during this comeback.
One message read, "BELIFT needs to prioritize the artists' health problems. Even though [the members] are at the age where they recover the fastest, they have spent 5 months only to get back more pain."

Fans emphasized the importance of fair treatment and attention to detail in these areas, reflecting a broader sentiment about equitable treatment of all members.
Responding to criticisms about styling, one message on the trucks acknowledged the difficulty in satisfying every fan's preferences: "With every comeback, it is not possible to satisfy every fan's tastes in hair, makeup, and costume."
Despite this, fans remain steadfast in their desire for improvements, especially concerning the welfare and artistic presentation of ENHYPEN.
