On August 27th, a new episode of “K-Star Next Door” was released on YouTube, featuring ENHYPEN members Jungwon, Heeseung and Jake. Their appearance surprised fans since the show typically features stars promoting new releases. ENHYPEN had just returned from LA, as mentioned in the episode.
During the episode, host Jonathan brought up that he’d heard ENHYPEN was working on a new album, despite their busy tour schedule. Jungwon confirmed this, saying, “When we finish performing, we shouldn’t just take a break, but prepare for the next album.”
“We are always working on our album. When we finish performing, we SHOULDN’T take a break, but prepare for the next album”

This part of the video was shared on X (formerly Twitter), quickly gaining attention.
Over the past few months, fans have voiced growing concerns about the group’s hectic schedule. Several members have been injured or shown signs of exhaustion, yet no extended break has been announced.
Instead, the group has hinted at even more upcoming activities and releases, prompting protests from fans.
Jungwon’s comments have fueled further outrage toward BELIFT LAB, with fans accusing the company of pushing the group into continuous work without adequate rest.
While staying active is crucial for K-pop artists to maintain and grow their fanbase, there needs to be a balance that ensures the members’ health and well-being, which is what ENHYPEN’s fans are advocating for.
