i engenes = international engenes k engenes = korean engenes (?) 4 days ago, the music video of enhypens comeback ‘Bite Me’ had been released. The song had been well praised by many people and people had been teasing that the second Niki had turned 18, Belift (enhypens company) released this, however nothing had gotten too major yet. Recently, the Studio Choom teaser for Enhypens ‘Bite Me’ performance had been released, and many engenes had been very disappointed with the choreo. This was because they claimed that the choreo had been suggestive, and the fact that female dancers were included as well in the video did not sit right with many. So, for some odd reason, they decided to launch a truck protest in front of HYBE. They demanded the removal of the female dancers in the choreo and that it was suggestive. However, I engenes fought back by sending another LED truck that praised Enhypens comeback and congratulated the members for getting this far. An Engene wrote this: ENHYPEN is still a young group which has yet to celebrate its 3rd anniversary since debut, and the team's average age is 19.6 years old, including members who are still minors. It is still too early in their careers to pull of choreography which comes across as old and suggestive." The statement went on to demand, "ENGENE demands that all choreography involving female dancers be removed from the 'Bite Me' performance. Beginning with the pre-recorded stage for the May 25 broadcast of 'M! Countdown' which will be filmed at 2:30 AM KST, show us a performance consisting only of the 7 members of ENHYPEN. If the matter is not corrected, we will respond with additional organized action." What I personally find funny is that when the song was released, no one decided to hate on the lyrics. Like lets be a little bit fr rn the lyrics are a lot more worse. And they didn’t ask to change the choreo at all, all they asked was to remove the female dancers which is literally sooo stupid. People even began saying: “It doesn’t allow the members to shine” and “Its disgusting to watch Enhypen dance with females”, etc. What I find so funny is that what they’re basically trying to imply is: “Oh, we’re just mad because our favs are dancing with females and not us” and seriously yall are acting as if theyre going to fall in love with them on stage. What’s even more funny is that many of these people call themselves engenes in the end and claim that they are doing this for their “idols” safety. But theyre going too far. Some people are hating on the comeback and how do you think the idol would feel? Enhypen hasn’t had a comeback in almost a year and the second they release one, it receives mass hate all because it has female dancers and the choreo/song in general is “suggestive”. Let’s not act as if this is the first time a group with minors has sang a song with a “suggestive” meaning. Cookie, Love Talk (pretty sure two members were 19 when it was released, which is the average age of most Enhypen members right now), etc. I’m not trying to say that its not a bad thing, but most people are going wayyyyy too far. I get that you don’t feel good with the fact that your favs are dancing with females, but you’re throwing away all their hard work. Its not easy to come up with a new choreo and learn an entirely new choreo all over again. Also, to make it even worse, this is what the protest trucks said: “BELIFT LAB, who made a fool out of the waiting fans. The company that deters the future of the artist. The company that doesn’t have any will to grow. The label under HYBE that has the least power.” Another truck held a sign saying, “The perpetrator who causes fans to leave, BELIFT LAB. Remove the choreography with the female dancers completely. Only put the seven members on stage.” Not only are they going after the choreo, theyre also calling BeLift a bad company for allowing this choreo. In my opinion that’s obviously going way too far. Also, Fever was released with an even worse suggestive meaning, why didn’t this happen when Fever was released? It was a lot worse than Bite Me tbh. In conclusion, most of the engenes that are protesting right now aren’t doing it for Enhypens benefit, but because they’re too immature and are getting pressed all because their favs are dancing with females. Also if I wrote anything that was misleading/not true please tell me since I got most of this off of 2 articles and tt.
