“It’s A Fourth-Generation Revolution!” Netizens React To ENHYPEN’s Sexy Concept For The “Bite Me” Music Video
On May 22, ENHYPEN released the music video for their new track “Bite Me,” and netizens can’t get over the more mature side of the members, with some “controversial” couple choreography with female dancers.
From the moment the second teaser was posted, netizens knew that the members were embracing a new concept with something more mature.
When the teaser was first released, and it showed the members dancing with female backup dancers, some Korean netizens shared their “anger” about the physical contact seen.
Yet, international fans couldn’t have been more different, with many praising the new concept and how refreshing it was to see fourth-generation male idols dancing with females.

Before the video was officially shared with fans worldwide, even the members acknowledged that this comeback was much more mature.
Sunoo knows ENGENEs have been waiting eagerly so they've put a lot of effort into preparing the album. Jay says they have the aim to showcase a more mature ENHYPEN. He promises it's worth the wait. #DarkBlood #LetsTalkKpop
