BELIFT LAB Vows Strong Legal Action Against ENHYPEN Sasaengs

BELIFT LAB is taking action to protect their artists. The agency has just issued a statement announcing that they will take legal action against ENHYPEN sasaengs who invade the idols’ privacy.

BELIFT LAB Announces Legal Action Against ENHYPEN Sasaengs

On September 5, BELIFT LAB, the agency behind ENHYPEN, issued a stern statement announcing their intention to take strong legal action against sasaengs—individuals who excessively invade the privacy of public figures. The announcement follows an alarming incident in which sasaengs illegally obtained and misused ENHYPEN’s personal flight information.

The situation occurred during ENHYPEN’s return from China. The sasaengs reportedly used the members’ personal information to register with the airline, enabling them to not only assign seats for the group members but also deliberately block any attempts to change those seat assignments. This direct and invasive action has raised serious concerns about the safety and privacy of the ENHYPEN members, prompting their agency to step in.

BELIFT LAB’s statement made it clear that they are committed to protecting their artists’ well-being and privacy. The agency stated, “We are taking strong measures against the illegal acquisition and sale of [ENHYPEN’s] flight information and will do our utmost to protect our artists.” They also reiterated their zero-tolerance policy towards actions that compromise the safety and security of their artists, warning that they will pursue legal action against anyone involved in such illicit activities.

The announcement is also a reflection of the broader issue in the K-pop industry where sasaengs frequently cross boundaries, putting idols’ personal lives and safety at risk. Fans and the public are also hopeful that BELIFT LAB’s strict stance will serve as a deterrent and provide ENHYPEN with the privacy and protection they deserve as they continue their global activities.

In related news, ENHYPEN also announced the “WALK THE LINE” tour, which is set to kick off with two concerts in Goyang, South Korea, on October 5 and 6.

ENHYPEN has thrilled fans with the announcement of their upcoming world tour, titled “WALK THE LINE.”

ENHYPEN Announces New World Tour ‘WALK THE LINE’

On September 2, BELIFT LAB officially revealed the tour details, marking an exciting new chapter for the K-pop sensation.

The “WALK THE LINE” tour is set to kick off with two concerts in Goyang, South Korea, on October 5 and 6. Following their performances in Korea, ENHYPEN will embark on a highly anticipated dome tour across Japan. The Japanese leg of the tour will begin at Saitama’s Belluna Dome on November 9 and 10, followed by performances at Fukuoka’s Mizuho PayPay Dome on December 28 and 29, and finally, at Osaka’s Kyocera Dome on January 25 and 26.

This announcement comes on the heels of ENHYPEN’s successful “Fate Plus” encore world tour, which wrapped up earlier in May. The “Fate Plus” tour was an extension of their original 2023 to 2024 “Fate” world tour, which saw the group performing across various global stages. After two encore shows in South Korea in February 2024, ENHYPEN took their tour to five cities in the United States, including California, Illinois, and New York, further cementing their global popularity.

In related news, BELIFT LAB recently addressed concerns about member Jay’s health. Jay was diagnosed with the flu after developing a sudden fever and was advised by his medical team to rest and recover. Despite his strong desire to participate, Jay had to sit out of ENHYPEN’s “FATE PLUS” concerts in Aichi on August 24 and 25. His absence has sparked concern among fans, but the priority remains his well-being.

As ENHYPEN gears up for the “WALK THE LINE” tour, fans around the world are eagerly anticipating what promises to be an unforgettable concert experience.

ENHYPEN Jay to Sit Out Japanese Activities Due to Health

It looks like Jay will need to take some time to focus on his health. The ENHYPEN member is set to sit out the group’s upcoming Japanese activities.

Jay to Sit Out ENHYPEN’s Upcoming Japanese Activities

On August 24, BELIFT LAB released an official statement announcing that Jay had come down with a sudden fever and was subsequently taken to the hospital, where he was diagnosed with the flu.

The diagnosis has led to concerns over his health and well-being, and despite Jay’s strong desire to participate in the concerts, his medical team has advised him to prioritize rest and recovery. As a result, Jay will be sitting out of ENHYPEN’s “FATE PLUS” concerts scheduled to take place in Aichi on August 24 and 25.

“Jay experienced a sudden fever while carrying out one of his schedules, prompting a visit to the hospital. Following a thorough medical examination, he was diagnosed with the flu,” the statement confirmed.

“Despite the artist’s strong desire to participate in scheduled performances the medical team has advised Jay to rest extensively,” it added. “Regrettably, this means that he cannot perform at the ENHYPEN WORLD TOUR “FATE PLUS” IN JAPAN – Aichi. We ask you for your kind and generous understanding.”

“We will diligently support Jay’s treatment and recovery, ensuring he can return to his fans in good health,” the statement concludes.

The news of Jay’s absence has certainly been a disappointment for both the artist and his fans, especially given the anticipation surrounding the group’s performances in Japan. However, fans have been quick to send their well-wishes to Jay, expressing their hope for a full and speedy recovery.

While Jay’s health remains the top priority, ENHYPEN is expected to continue their scheduled performances with the remaining members. Fans are encouraged to show their support for Jay and the group during this time, and everyone is eagerly awaiting Jay’s return to the stage once he has fully recovered.

ENHYPEN Previews Tracks from Second Studio Album ‘ROMANCE: UNTOLD’

Earlier this month, ENHYPEN previewed their second full-length album, ROMANCE : UNTOLD, through a video uploaded to HYBE Labels’ YouTube channel. The video has a house party theme, and in it, the members display their charms to full effect as they dance, DJ, and sing along to each track in succession.

In ROMANCE : UNTOLD, ENHYPEN uses different genres of music to tell the story of a boy devoted to someone who makes him a better person. ENGENES’ excitement for this release is at an all-time high due to the members’ involvement in the creative process. According to the group’s agency, BELIFT LAB, every single member of ENHYPEN was credited as a composer, lyricist, or producer for ROMANCE : UNTOLD.

The first half of the album includes the mellow alternative R&B track “Moonstruck” and the soft synth-pop song “Your Eyes Only,” whose medium tempo and rhythmic melody make it a definite earworm. There’s also “Hundred Broken Hearts,” an old-school R&B track with youthful energy.

Fans of ENHYPEN’s leader Jungwon should pay close attention to “Hundred Broken Hearts,” as he composed the topline for it. Composing the topline for a song means creating the main vocal melody and, in some cases, also working on the lyrics for that melody. The topline is the part of a song typically sung by a group’s main vocalist. It’s often the most memorable and catchy part, making it crucial in defining the song’s appeal and identity.

ENHYPEN (엔하이픈) ROMANCE : UNTOLD Preview

ENHYPEN is more hands-on now

The back half of the album includes the dynamic funk/dance-pop track “Brought the Heat Back” and the sexy, sophisticated “Royalty.” There’s also “Paranormal,” a rock DnB song with a singalong melody. Rock DnB is a fusion genre that combines elements of rock music with the fast-paced, breakbeat-driven rhythms of drum and bass. While ENHYPEN has been known to experiment with different styles in their music, this marks the first time they’ll try rock DnB.

All seven members contributed to the lyrics of “Highway 1009,” which means lines like “Hold me tighter so I can stand again even on weary days” came right from the members’ hearts. Heeseung also helped compose and produce this one. Finally, the album’s title track, “XO (Only If You Say Yes)” is, of course, a standout. Unlike most of ENHYPEN’s previous title tracks, which are dark and energetic, this one features a sweet melody and impactful lyrics. It’s about a boy who would do absolutely anything for his special someone.

Jungwon, Heeseung, Jay, Jake, Sunghoon, Sunoo, and Ni-ki are becoming more and more hands-on with their music as time goes by, which is a sign of how far they’ve come since debuting four years ago via I-LAND. In a press release, BELIFT LAB stated, “As this is ENHYPEN’s first full-length album in about two years and nine months, the members and the production staff have put in great effort to achieve a high level of completion. Fans can look forward to ENHYPEN’s deeper musical color and authenticity as artists.”

BELIFT LAB Issues Statement Regarding ENHYPEN Jay Health Condition

ENHYPEN’s Jay will temporarily limit his participation in the group’s upcoming activities due to knee pain. BELIFT LAB confirmed the idol’s health condition in a new statement.

BELIFT LAB Addresses ENHYPEN’s Jay Health Condition

On June 27, BELIFT LAB released a statement regarding Jay’s condition. The agency revealed that Jay experienced knee pain the previous day and sought medical advice. Following a thorough examination, the doctor advised Jay to minimize strenuous movements, including choreography and performances, to prevent further aggravation of his condition and ensure a swift recovery.

Although Jay is very eager to participate in the performances, we will be following the medical team’s advice and minimizing his movements during today’s concert. Consequently, Jay will not participate in the soundcheck and will perform seated on stage without choreography,” it read.

As a result, Jay’s participation in ENHYPEN’s “FATE PLUS” tour in Japan will be modified. He will remain seated during the performances, ensuring that he can still be part of the event without risking his health. This decision is aimed at allowing Jay to rest his knee while still engaging with fans and maintaining his presence during the tour.

In addition to the adjustments for the “FATE PLUS” tour, BELIFT LAB also announced that Jay will not participate in the choreography for “Music Core in Japan.” This precautionary measure is to ensure that Jay does not strain his knee further and can focus on his recovery. The agency assured fans that Jay’s health is their top priority and they are committed to providing him with the necessary support and care during this period.

ENHYPEN’s Busy Year

Jay’s temporary limitation on activities has garnered support and understanding from ENHYPEN fans, who have expressed their well-wishes for his speedy recovery. The fandom appreciates the agency’s transparency and the steps taken to safeguard Jay’s well-being.

The group will continue their scheduled activities while accommodating Jay’s needs, and fans can look forward to seeing him fully recovered and back in action soon. BELIFT LAB’s proactive approach in addressing Jay’s health concerns highlights their commitment to the well-being of their artists, reassuring fans of their dedication to both the group’s success and individual member’s health.
