ENHYPEN Jungwon’s Comments About Their Upcoming Album Leave Fans Concerned And Angry

Fans have been concerned for the group for a while.

On August 27, a new episode of K-Star Next Door was uploaded to YouTube, featuring ENHYPEN’s Jungwon, Heeseung, and Jake. This was a bit of a surprise, as stars who appear on the show are usually there to promote new releases, and ENHYPEN had just returned from LA, as stated in the episode.

At one point during the episode, Jonathan mentions that he heard that ENHYPEN were working on a new album, despite being busy with their tour. Jungwon confirms this, adding, “When we finish performing, we shouldn’t just take a break, but prepare for the next album.”

This portion of the video was reposted to X, where it quickly gained attention.

“We are always working on our album. When we finish performing, we SHOULDN’T take a break, but prepare for the next album”

In the last few months, fans have increasingly shared their concerns about the group’s activities. Multiple members have been injured or shown signs of fatigue, and no extended break has been announced.

On the contrary, the group has hinted at more schedules and releases, leading to protests.

While being active is important for K-Pop artists to maintain and grow their fanbase, there must be a balance that does not put the group’s health and happiness at risk, which is what ENHYPEN’s fans wants.
