A recent interaction between Stray Kids members Felix and Han has gone viral, but not for the reasons many expected. What began as a lighthearted and supportive moment between the two idols has quickly turned into a heated debate between fandoms, particularly involving fans of ENHYPEN.

The moment took place during a live broadcast where Felix casually mentioned that he had recently gained some weight. Without hesitation, Han responded with reassurance.

Felix: I’ve gained weight recently.

Han: You did? Its okay, you can gain some weight.

Felix: I can?

Han: Yeah, you look good.

The clip was initially met with praise from Stray Kids fans and even other K-Pop supporters. Many applauded Han’s comforting words, calling the moment heartwarming and a rare example of healthy friendship and body positivity in the K-Pop industry.

However, the conversation took a turn on social media when posts began comparing the interaction to how members of ENHYPEN have addressed similar topics in the past.

Some fans pointed to recent controversies surrounding the BeLift Lab boy group, especially regarding their treatment of member Sunoo. Several clips have resurfaced in which ENHYPEN members have made comments about Sunoo’s eating habits and appearance.

Most notably, a recent episode of a variety show sparked backlash when member Jay joked, “Sunoo could eat this entire table.”

As comparisons between the two groups flooded online platforms, ENHYPEN fans pushed back and responded with their own heated posts.

While the original clip from Stray Kids was meant to uplift, it has unintentionally reignited discussions around body image and K-Pop idols’ behavior regarding it.
