Popular K-pop group ENHYPEN has a large number of fans known as ENGENEs who always show them strong support. But fame also brings massive problems that can hurt an idol’s mental health. One serious issue is sasaeng fans. These people stalk the members and invade their privacy in public places. A recent event has left many ENGENEs worried after they found out that an alleged stalker posed with one of the members. Read on to know more!
Pictures of Sunghoon standing next to a fan recently surfaced online and caused havoc. Many fans said the person in the photos was a sasaeng who had chased him at an airport and even followed him into his hotel room a few months earlier. The anger focused mainly on BELIFT LAB, ENHYPEN’s company.
What you want @BELIFTLAB? This girl is SUNGHOON stalker, and you let her be chosen for photo event? Look how’s crazy u?! Where’s the “legal action” you’re talking about?! pic.twitter.com/CKydc1CLeI— KACIL (@cilhooncil) September 7, 2026
Fans pointed out that this was the same person who chased Sunghoon at the airport and followed him into his hotel. Instead of seeking a restraint order against her, the company allowed her to stand close enough for a photo. They felt it was clear that BELIFT puts money first and does not protect the artists. It is especially frightening because Sunghoon would likely remember her face better than anyone else after the fear of being followed more than once and chased. BELIFT has never taken real action even after posting notices about such behaviour.

This situation shows how hard it can be for K-pop idols to stay safe in public places. Sasaeng behaviour goes far beyond normal support and can create lasting stress. Many ENGENEs hope the company will improve security and put the members’ well-being above other concerns. The event has sparked wider talks about the need for stronger protection in the K-pop industry so that artists can focus on their work without any stress and issues.
