During a recent Q&A, Paul Wesley accepted a question that asked, “Do you f*ck with enhypen.”

Wesley did not appear to recognize ENHYPEN as a K-Pop group, as he mispronounced the name. He sternly claimed he would “never f*ck” with them.

ENHYPEN? I don’t f*ck with ENHYPEN. Okay? I would never.

The clip went viral with 219.7K views on X (formerly Twitter) at the time of writing. Netizens joked that it was “vampire on vampire hate” since he’s most famous for portraying one, and ENHYPEN’s lore is that they are vampires. Many believe that Wesley thought “ENHYPEN” was a drug of some kind, hence his response.
