BELIFT LAB’s rookie boy group, ENHYPEN, arrived in Italy for the highly anticipated 2024 Milan Fashion Week on September 19. Upon landing at Milan airport, the popular boy band was quickly surrounded by a mob of fans, leading to chaotic scenes. Multiple videos circulated on social media, showing fans allegedly pushing against the group members in an attempt to get closer to them.
ENHYPEN is celebrated for its impressive discography and striking visuals. Their role as PRADA ambassadors fueled excitement among fans globally regarding their appearance at the prestigious fashion event. However, the recent footage has sparked outrage among many online users, who voiced concerns about the safety and mental well-being of the boys while navigating through the overwhelming crowd.
One Engene (the official name for ENHYPEN’s fanbase) expressed frustration on X, criticizing the recklessness of fans at the Milan airport:
“I hope the people in the video who were shoving and pushing with their cameras feel ashamed. I’m tired of reminding everyone to be careful and respect their space; it should be normal. These people are literally stalkers and mobbers. They should never be called engenes.”
Engenes expressed their disillusionment and emphasized that they do not recognize such fans as part of their community. Many took the opportunity to remind others about the importance of ENHYPEN’s safety.
“I’m so disappointed because this happened in my country. These are not even real engenes. We’ve reiterated countless times to avoid such behavior, yet these fake fans refuse to listen. If they could go to the airport, they should just attend the show, which would be safer for everyone,”one fan voiced their disappointment.
“Let’s not generalize. We’ve been battling this type of behavior for a long time. The company must hire bodyguards and take legal action. I’d prefer to use the term ‘mobs’ instead of calling them engenes,”another fan articulated.
“This keeps happening repeatedly, but BELIFT is not taking appropriate action. They need to grow a backbone to protect ENHYPEN,”a different fan contributed.
Others tagged BELIFT LAB, a subsidiary of HYBE, urging them to take immediate measures, including hiring additional bodyguards to ensure the safety of the boy band.
“I genuinely don’t understand the purpose of meeting them at the airport. Do they really think behaving this way will lead the members to hug or propose to them? Just be normal,”one fan commented.
“BELIFT keeps saying they’ll take legal action but does absolutely nothing,”another fan remarked.
“This situation is cringing me out. What are these people doing? And they call themselves engenes as well… Just leave them alone and stop harassing them; it’s not that hard!”one more fan added.
