On April 19, 2025, K-pop group Enhypen took over the Coachella stage for the second time. For those unable to attend in person, the music festival organizers provided an official livestream link.
As the performances began, fans eagerly tuned in. But even the best technology can falter. While most of the livestream was smooth and immersive, a brief glitch occurred on April 19 during American singer Clairo's performance.
During the livestream, Clairo's performance was being broadcast as expected. However, the screen suddenly cut to Enhypen's stage, zooming in on the group's member Sunghoon as he performed a dance break during the song XO.
The unexpected crossover quickly caught viewers' attention, who took to X to share their hilarious responses. One X user wrote:
"they got sunghooned"
From hoping for the two artists to collaborate to poking fun at the glitch, here's how fans reacted:
"i was so confused lmfaoo" a user wrote
"this how my playlist looks like" a fan wrote
"well actually this is not a mistake but a teaser for future feature enha x clairo" another fan replied
As a result, fans begin to say that Coachella and Clairo "have been sunghooned," meaning that they have been given a taste of Sunghoon's antics now. The audio continued to be of Clairo's song Bags, but the visuals were of Enhypen's stage.
"sunghoon’s dance break unironically matching the beat" a user wrote
"when i said i wanted them both in the same frame i didnt expect this" a fan wrote
"i will take rhis as my two worlds colliding" another fan wrote
