ENHYPEN Meets Max Verstappen
The next three days will be memorable for F1 fans at the Singapore Grand Prix 2025. The GP will feature multiple performances from iconic stars like Elton John, G-Dragon, Foo Fighters and Smashing Pumpkins. At the same time, the famous K-pop group ENHYPEN also has their concert at the Singapore Indoor Stadium. Despite the clash and both events happening during the same days, Jay, Jake, Jungwon and Sunghoon managed to join the Formula 1 festivities.
They had a full tour of Oracle Red Bull Racing’s garage as well as meeting superstar racer Max Verstappen. In a viral video from the meeting, Jay, who is a huge racing fan, was seen congratulating Verstappen for his recent win at the debut GT3 race. To this, the racer said, “Oh, you were following [the race]?” asked a surprised Verstappen, to which Jay replied, “Of course.” He also signed a jersey and caps for the ENHYPEN group. Verstappen inquired whether the gang would be in Singapore “for the entire weekend,” to which Jake explained their conflicting schedules.
Enhypen, which also features Heeseung, Sunoo, and Ni-ki, will play in Singapore as part of its Walk The Line international tour. Enhypen has charted five albums on the Billboard 200 Top 10 in the five years since its debut, including the most recent Desire: Unleash.
Max Verstappen, on the other hand, will be seeking to cut the gap with current leader Oscar Piastri.
