Fans Outrage Over ENHYPEN Online Event Cancellation
The ENHYPEN online video call event cancellation reason was contested by K-pop fans, saying this type of video call event usually proceeds even if two or three members are absent from the band. It is rare for a video call event to be cancelled due to the poor condition of all the members. The group is receiving massive backlash from the netizens and the fans.
A fan found this unprofessional and stated, “Must be nice to cancel events if you don’t feel like working. I wish I could just say I’m not going to work when I don’t feel like it.”
Another one said, “This is the problem in the K-pop world, they think fans’ time is not precious.” Another one justified it as the schedule got mixed up, saying, “I feel like they just postponed their easiest activities because their schedule got mixed up”. One more fan found it irritating as people are defending the group, “What’s wrong with the comments so many fans are trying to defend them lol.”
ENHYPEN is not the first Korean band to cancel the event just before it’s going to start. Before this, there were many notable K-pop groups who have cancelled the event at the last minute; however, there are different circumstances behind this cancellation.
