ENHYPEN fans, also known as ENGENEs, were enraged to hear this and called out HYBE and BELIFT LAB for overworking their artists. For the unversed, the rookie boy band is under BELIFT LAB, which is a HYBE Corporation subsidiary. One fan wrote on X:
"Let them rest and dont give them anymore tour this year after fate+ !!! Domestic promotion or variety show is enough for us."
The interview clip went viral online as ENGENEs took to X and shared their thoughts. Some tagged BELIFT LAB and HYBE and "begged" them to let the boy group rest and recuperate for a while since they have been going on tours non-stop.
"Imagine if enha would be gone for like a week, we’ll get zero updates from them but we’re aware that they’re on a vacation.. and when they come back they’ll turn on a live to share some memorable stories that happened.. how I wish enha could get that break that they deserve," one fan wrote.
"PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! I always pray that after their last official stop for Fate+ in Miyagi, no more tour announcements this year! I also pray that they’ll be given a vacation, even a 3d2n vacation wiil do, just without cameras, just the 7 of them to enjoy," another fan said.
"I feel like even tho they get to do those trip where they get to go somewhere and 'rest' in enoclock, the things they can do is still limited due to the cameras, they can't fully be themselves and enjoy the 'break' their own actual way, please I rly hope they get proper rest," one other fan added.
Others took an aggressive stance and urged fellow fans to boycott the company so that they would pay attention to the fans' demands.
"Enhypen need rest. You can keep tagging belift and enhypen but unless your actions support your words & you start boycotting hybe, nothing will change," another fan wrote.
"You can really tell where they are mentally when they’re saying stuff like this. @BELIFTLAB please let enhypen rest, they deserve to relax. Give them a work free vacation, I BEG," one fan commented.
"Hybe is literally overworking their idols and y'all still choose to participate in it instead of boycotting Hybe," one other fan remarked.
