In the teaser, ENHYPEN members are seen interacting with Bang Si Hyuk backstage…

…after he and Jay perform on a special stage with JYP Entertainment‘s Park Jin Young (also known as J.Y.Park) at “Weverse Con.”

Bang Si Hyuk talks about his nervousness about the guitar performance as ENHYPEN members hype him up.

Jay: You were so good at guitar, Si Hyuk-nim.

Bang Si Hyuk: I thought my heart would explode, though.

And as wholesome as that seems on the surface, Bang’s cameo has not been received well by the fans excited about ENHYPEN’s first MBC TV show appearance. Dubbing the cameo as an “unwanted” feature that no one asked for…

…most slammed Bang Si Hyuk for using ENHYPEN and the program to “undo” the damage that was done to his reputation with his feud with ADOR‘s CEO Min Hee Jin.

In fact, some even accused Bang of “wanting to be like Min Hee Jin,” appearing on TV shows with his artists like she did with NewJeans.

  • “Tarnishing ENHYPEN’s first MBC TV appearance since debut… Thanks, Bang…”
  • “The whole episode is going to be propaganda to make Bang himself look good.”
  • “First, he sends ENHYPEN on an endless tour, making them so unwell. And now, this? I’m so mad. Did he have to squeeze in with them on their first MBC appearance?”
  • “Not surprised because he also pooped the concert with his cameo. He obviously doesn’t know how to read the room.”
  • “So, after being nowhere to be seen through all the controversies, he decides to show up for a TV appearance meant to be for his idol group? LOL. No one wants this… Also, IDK what nonsense he’s into, but the –nim label he has the members use is cringeAF.”
  • “Wow… He’s desperate for damage control, huh? LOL. We can see right through him, though.”
  • “He’s using ENHYPEN for the TV appearance. Don’t forget how he had them running in circles on tour.”
  • “Please stay away from ENHYPEN. PLEASE.”
  • “It’s not like his cameo is going to change people’s minds about him, though… Look at him playing the guitar and all. He’s trying so hard.”
  • “Bang is taking over all the labels under HYBE, haha. Why did he even come up with the label system? He could’ve kept doing whatever he wanted as BIG HIT. It’s obvious that he knows his reputation is now sh*t for what happened with ILLIT, so he’s using ENHYPEN to come back around.”

The episode featuring ENHYPEN is set to air Saturday, July 6, 2024 KST.
