This group is so boring they’re just men with toxic masculinity always commenting on Sunoo’s mannerisms or weight.. Imagine being stuck in a group like that for 7 years poor him https://t.co/ffVNae62tL

On the other side, fans have defended the group from accusations of “bullying” Sunoo, and additional hate comments unrelated to the issue.

i do prioritise sunoo, he is literally the reason i’m still in kpop but he himself always says that enhypen is like a family. he loves his members and i think if he was really uncomfortable he would talk to them. they always say that they have these little meetings in the dorm…

Amid this, a clip of Jungwon speaking to fans about weight loss as resurfaced.
In a clip from a live that Jungwon did, the idol responds to fan’s comments, first answering a fan who asked to be praise for their weightloss.
Jungwon does so, on the condition they did it on purpose, and mentions that fans have said they lose weight in preparation of seeing him. He says that he does not want that and would rather fans eat without worry. He also tells fans that they don’t need to diet unless it is for health reasons.
this is the leader of enhypen btw https://t.co/whZRfjlneh pic.twitter.com/xF355c84Bk

Beauty standards affect everyone and are particularly pressed upon K-Pop idols and other celebrities, with some stars sharing they developed unhealthy habits because of them. This likely made Jungwon’s statements stand out even more, considering the current circumstances.
I needed to hear this, thank you jungwon https://t.co/75opsRto8G

I’m in tears right now.
My sweet, sweet boy…
I hope with all my heart that the love you receive always drowns out any hate that comes your way.
You are so incredibly deserving of every bit of kindness, and I truly mean it when I say—being your fan is one of the things I’m most… https://t.co/cc3fg7B3GG— kay ♡ ENCHELLA | jaypril (@kayw0nie) April 6, 2025
