ENHYPEN’s “Empty Crowd” For “2025 Coachella” Sparks Heavy Fanwar
ENHYPEN recently performed at 2025 Coachella. They pulled off a rousing performance, bringing the house down.
According to online views stats, they delivered what was apparently the second-most watched live show in Coachella’s history.
Seeing this, BLACKPINK‘s fans immediately argued against this number, claiming that BLACKPINK had been the peak in 2023, with over 2.96 million views.

5.Anitta (2022) – 160K— BLΛCKPIИK GLOBAL FANBASE (@BLACKPINKGLOBAL) April 13, 2025
Given the contradictory numbers and stats, the two fanbases began a fanwar, with many claiming that ENHYPEN’s crowd in real life was “empty.”

International netizens included video and photo material of the crowd during ENHYPEN’s set to back up their claims.

On the other hand, fans have been fighting back, claiming that the crowd was strong.
A fan who had been there in person came through with receipts, claiming that there was a sea of people as far as the eye could tell.

Some even argued that previous photos of the empty crowd were doctored.
You all are trying so hard by using the crowd pictures after a pre recorded libe stream of another act. This was the actual crowd plus they're selling out domes and stadiums and their enchella performance is going viral. They don't need the sympathy. #ENCHELLA #ENHYPEN https://t.co/nAhPOGyhda pic.twitter.com/OWIouRDPUL

Even now that the first weekend of Coachella is coming to a close, the fanwar is still going strong, with BLACKPINK fans insisting supremacy.

Until official stats from the organizers are released, it does not look like it will blow over any time soon.
