ENHYPEN’s Sunghoon “Blamed” For Hate Comments About His Visuals By HYBE
On November 1, KST, another set of internal documents shared by HYBE began circulating online.
This time, the leak seems to have come from a company employee. It revealed discussions on various groups, including several under HYBE. These leaks included thoughts on ENHYPEN, including the group’s performance at KCON LA 2022.
In a section dated August 2022, HYBE first discussed the group’s exhaustion, which has been an ongoing concern for fans.

The section also specifically discussed Sunghoon, with a focus on criticism about his looks.
According to the document, Sunghoon was the target of negative comments on an online forum about his visuals, with the document seeming to agree that he looked “less attractive.”
Also, I checked videos because photos of Sunghoon on DC Inside had a lot of comments about him looking less attractive, and there does seem to be an issue, like his face is swollen or something. I’ve given frequent feedback regarding Sunghoon’s styling as well.

The discussion went on to say that Sunghoon himself should find ways of “address” what made him “unattractive” including weight management.
It seems that if he has a tendency to swell easily, he should work on finding ways to address it. He might need to take proactive steps, like weight management, to mitigate any risks himself. While this isn’t an unattractive team, their looks tend to be more polarizing than expected. Sunghoon’s appearance needs to consistently meet fan expectations, similar to how Minhyun from NU’EST served as a stable visual anchor for his group.
