ENHYPEN's Jungwon recently sparked a huge buzz among ARMYs by making an exception for his role model, BTS’ Jungkook. During a fan convention, a clip of Jungwon talking to a fan girl went viral on social media. When an Engene (ENHYPEN's fandom) asked him if it would be okay for her to be a fan of other idols.
While many K-pop idols playfully suggest that fans should only pay attention to their favorite idols, Jungwon replied that it depends on who the idol was. When he learned the idol in question was Jungkook, he responded:
“Oh, then I'll look too.”
The ENHYPEN leader has showcased his love and admiration for Jungkook multiple times in the past. He has also named him as his role model. The fan's question and Jungwon's reaction led to hilarious responses from netizens. One fan on X commented:
