On June 26, Vogue shared new photos of the members for an editorial, and while the members looked very handsome, it was still cemented that ENHYPEN has seven members, no more and no less.

With seven members, doing two group photos might seem unequal, but it’s easily done with the split being four members in one photo and three in the other.

It meant that netizens were shocked when they saw two group photos with four members each. One seemed normal as it saw Ni-ki, Sunoo, Sunghoon, and Jake in a photo together.

The next caused confusion as, alongside Heeseung, Jay, and Jungwon, there was another face that seemingly blended with the members but wasn’t a part of ENHYPEN.

Netizens couldn’t hide their laughter after realizing that the eighth “member” of ENHYPEN was actually famous director Lee Choong Hyun, who directed the group’s latest video, “UNTOLD Concept Cinema,” ahead of the release of their album ROMANCE: UNTOLD, in July.

The video was truly a masterpiece.

When netizens realized who the person was, they couldn’t get over how well Choong Hyun fitted into the group, and while he was much older, the visuals were cohesive.

  • “Wow, he’s really handsome. He looks like an idol.”
  • “Wow, I could believe he’s an idol. On closer look, there is a difference, but at first glance, there was no sense of incongruity.”
  • “Hahaha, I didn’t know about ENHYPEN, so I thought all eight were fresh and handsome, and I wondered who the director was.”
  • “No incongruity at all, really. Haha.”
  • “He definitely has a different vibe, but he looks the most handsome. Haha.”
  • “Director Lee Choong Hyun is in his 30s, but he blends in without standing out. Haha.”
  • “He just looks like a director to me, though. LOL.”
  • “Since I don’t know any of them, I wouldn’t have noticed if no one had told me. Haha.”

It was definitely an unexpected addition.
