On April 13, 2025, HYBE boy group ENHYPEN made their Coachella debut at festival's Sahara stage at the Empire Polo Club in Indio, California. The seven-piece group reportedly became the third most-watched show on YouTube in the music festival's history.
ENHYPEN held a Weverse livestream post their debut show, and the members acknowledged that they read tweets on social media where their fans mentioned that the group became the second most-watched show in Coachella history.
However, the claim is not entirely accurate as they became the third most-watched stage show on YouTube after Byeoncé (2018) and BLACKPINK (2022). But ENHYPEN did become the second most-watched Korean stage after BLACKPINK, who had over 2.96 million real-times viewers during their 2022 Coachella show. Meanwhile, ENHYPEN gained over 400,000 real-time views.
