ENHYPEN’s Ongoing Exhaustion Led To “Frustrations” Among The Members, “Written-Off” By HYBE
As more of HYBE’s internal documents are leaked, new comments on groups, even under its labels, have been revealed.
The latest leak contains some discussions about a point of ongoing concern by fans of ENHYPEN.
Since their debut, ENHYPEN have had a busy schedule of comebacks, touring, and many more work engagements. In recent months, the group’s schedule has become a huge concern for fans worried about the idols’ health.
In addition to announcing a new tour just a month after their previous one, which lasted 401 days, the group has shown many signs of exhaustion on stage and off, with members being reported as injured.
In comments labeled to be from August 2022, HYBE discussed their exhaustion in relation to their performance at KCON LA 2022. The document acknowledged their exhaustion was visible, and stated it was “possibly related to their mental state.”
The schedule wasn’t an easy one. However, there are still points that need to be taken care of, and it feels like several issues with ENHYPEN are arising in those areas.
I monitored that the members look very tired, and this may not solely be an issue with physical condition but possibly related to their mental state or the level of psychological rewards they’re receiving. In this case, finding a way to encourage and keep them motivated is crucial to maintaining quality, but if this doesn’t happen, the results could turn out like the recent KCON performance. Although they worked hard, the reviews are negative, frustrations build up among each other, and this negative energy eventually affects the team’s momentum.

It is worth noting that just two months after this performance, Sunghoon fainted at the airport in Newark, believed to have been caused by exhaustion. And with the group’s schedule remaining as non-stop, it seems their exhaustion was not properly addressed by HYBE.
