ENHYPEN Fans Face Backlash Over Controversial Plans Following Heeseung’s Exit
Heeseung is facing backlash after fans urged others to call the National Pension Service (NPS) over his decision to leave ENHYPEN.
The controversy began when a post on X (formerly Twitter) shared the NPS phone number. Fans claimed NPS is one of HYBE’s biggest investors and suggested complaining directly to pressure the company.
Fan calls even organized a mass calling session at 9 AM KST, urging others to flood the NPS hotline. Some argued this tactic could impact stock value and investment returns.

> If you have the time, please call their phone number and explain that HYBE’s stocks are at risk of falling and will eventually result in a loss of investment and profitability on their part. Their office opens at 9:00 KST!

But many fans and netizens slammed this plan as ridiculous and harmful. They pointed out the NPS hotline is for pension help—mainly elderly people—and blocking it is unfair.

Other fandoms also criticized ENGENEs, calling the stunt clueless and selfish for taking up a national service not meant for fan disputes.
> Yall mfs r actually sick in ur heads…the fact that u r not only blocking a service for elderly but also don’t have a single clue about how investors work…good luck with ur clown work

The debate shines a light on how far some fans will go to challenge an artist’s decision—not always without backlash.
