ENHYPEN Staff’s “Aggressive” Treatment Of Sunoo Sparks Concern
Fans are concerned and angered by a staff’s treatment of ENHYPEN‘s Sunoo.
Earlier this year, during ENHYPEN’s American tour, a clip showing Sunoo’s interaction with a staff member gained attention. The video showed Sunoo putting on a pair of sunglasses and a member of the group’s staff covering them before “aggressively” pulling them off his face.
After that instance, fans mentioned more times that the same staff member and others had allegedly mistreated the idol, calling for better care for Sunoo.
This is from last year PRADA EVENT @BELIFTLAB staff
Just cause sunoo is kind and friendly doesn’t mean you can step over him
Stay in your limits bitches

Now, a recent airport incident has left fans alarmed.
On July 26, ENHYPEN departed from Korea, heading to Los Angeles for KCON LA 2024. The group will be performing on Saturday, July 27 along with many other artists at the festival.
As the group made their way through the airport, the unfortunately typical airport mobbing occurred, as seen in their departure video.
Sunoo was walking behind another member of the groups staff when a turn resulted in the staff member moving to the idol’s side. At this point, another staff member grabbed Sunoo by his arm to pull him forward and close the gap.
Sunoo looks surprised as it happens and allows himself to be moved forward.
After this video was shared, many fans could not believe that Sunoo was being treated this way again. Many were also angered that the same staff as the earlier incident was responsible for this one.
belift staff’s action towards sunoo are very CONCERNING and i cant believe engenes still giving excuses to these motherfuckers.

some of yall always quick to dismiss any rude act toward sn, grip someone's arm and drag them away by force isn't normal💀 even the reporter there was concerned and asked if he's okay
this already happened before and it's the same manager too

manager sejin was so gentle to sunoo despite to the fact that the crowd was crazy too. the fact that it's THEE manager sejin, bts former manager who is in the industry for over 10 years already yet still so humble.
why's THAT manager can't do the same?pic.twitter.com/MxCn2h10J8

still clearly remember the time when sunoo went to engenes to say goodbye and the long haired manager panicked when he realized that sunoo did not enter to the van yet but he NEVER grabbed sunoo aggressively. pic.twitter.com/K31MW3pQWp
